Foster

Spay/Neuter

Foster

Waymaker Rescue desperately needs short term foster homes for our stray dogs.  Our goal is to get stray dogs medical treatment and into a foster home as quickly as possible.  We immediately start trying to home the dog, which can be through dog rescues in other states that need dogs.  Our goal is for a foster to have a dog for 2-3 months maximum.

    About Waymaker Rescue

    Our Mission

    Our mission is to rescue abandoned, abused, and neglected dogs and to facilitate needed services of food, spay/neuter, medical care, and temporary housing. We partner with local veterinarians and fosters to provide these needed services while we work to find permanent, caring homes for each dog. In addition, we create public awareness on the importance of spay/neuter, medical, and nutritional care for pets in our local community.

    Our Team

    We are a group of individuals who found each other because we were all individually rescuing dogs, posting about dogs, or had prior experience in dog rescue.  We all have a great love & passion for dogs!  With so much in common, we joined forces to have strength in numbers! 

    Our Programs

    • Subsidize Spay/neuter services for animals belonging to income-qualified pet owners
    • Partner with transport services to relocate dogs to out-of-state dog rescues with low dog populations
    • Intervene in animal hoarding and abuse cases, working with area law enforcement and other rural rescue operations
    • Work collaboratively with other rescues, shelters, animal welfare organizations, and out-of-state adoption partners to make sure that unwanted animals find forever homes.
    • Maintain a major presence on social media, providing public education about pet overpopulation, responsible pet ownership, and animal welfare.
