Dog Foster Program-Orientation/Open House
Have you ever thought about fostering a dog but weren’t sure where to start? Join us for our Dog Foster Program Orientation and learn how you can help give a shelter dog a break, a place to decompress, and the chance to thrive in a home environment!
Our foster team will walk you through how the program works, what to expect as a foster, the support and supplies we provide, and how we work with you to find a foster dog who is a good fit for your home.
Whether you’re ready to foster right away or simply want to learn more, we’d love to have you!
📅 Saturday, August 29th
⏰ 6 PM
📍 Orphans of the Storm Hawthorn Mall Adoption Center
122 Hawthorn Center, Vernon Hills (upper level next to Macy’s)
There’s no commitment required just for attending — come meet our team, ask questions, and learn how opening your home to a foster dog can make a lifesaving difference.
We provide the supplies and support. You provide the temporary home and love.
