The Red Barn Goofy Newfy Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means every dog we save depends on a foster home. Without fosters, we cannot rescue.
Fostering is one of the most powerful ways you can make a direct impact on a dog’s life.

Fostering means temporarily opening your home to a rescued dog until they are adopted into their forever family.
Our fosters provide:
Every foster makes a difference.

Foster Expectations
We ask our fosters to:
We are always available to support you — you are never alone in this process.
Foster-to-Adopt
Fosters have first rights to adopt the dog in their care if they fall in love. If adoption isn’t your goal, that’s okay too. Fostering alone saves lives.
The Impact You Make
Because we are committed to every dog for life under our binding return contract, each foster home plays a critical role in ensuring responsible, lifelong placement.
We stay very close with our adopters, and that journey begins with you.
When you foster, you are not just helping one dog — you are allowing us to rescue the next one.
