Every dog deserves love. Every foster home makes a difference. Every act of kindness saves lives.
For 16½ years, A Different Breed has been dedicated to rescuing dogs, finding loving homes, and providing sanctuary to thousands of animals. Today, we continue that mission through a foster-based rescue powered by dedicated, long-term volunteers and people like you.
Every dog has a story, and every dog deserves the chance to be loved. Our dogs come from different backgrounds, and some need extra patience, medical care, or a special family willing to look beyond their challenges.
Could your home be their happy ending?
Meet our available dogs, learn about their personalities, and find the companion who is right for you.
Fostering is one of the most meaningful ways to help an animal in need. By opening your home temporarily, you give a dog a safe place to rest, heal, learn to trust, and prepare for a loving forever home.
Our dedicated volunteers care for dogs at every stage of their journey, including dogs with special needs and those who may take longer to find their perfect match.
You don't have to adopt to save a life. Sometimes, all it takes is a temporary home and a caring heart.
A Different Breed covers veterinarian care costs as well as food!
Provide a safe home: Give a dog a comfortable, loving place to stay.
Offer patience and care: Help your foster dog adjust at their own pace.
Help them find a family: Share their personality and progress to help connect them with adopters.
Be part of a team: Work alongside our rescue volunteers to support each dog's needs.
Every foster home makes a difference, whether you can help for a short time or provide longer-term care.
More Ways to Make a Difference
Every act of kindness helps save lives.
Together we will make a difference.
Thousands of dogs have found loving homes because people cared enough to make a difference. As our approach evolves, our commitment to vulnerable animals remains strong.
A Different Breed will continue as a foster-based rescue supported by dedicated volunteers, while helping with animal transportation, food donations, veterinary needs, and community cat outreach whenever possible.
We believe every animal deserves compassion, safety, and dignity - and every family deserves the opportunity to keep the pets they love.
Join us in making a difference, one animal at a time.
