Heather’s Foster Dogs would like to thank our Veterans for their sacrifices & service to our country!

During November 2019, HFD is offering a reduced adoption fee of $150 to any United States Veteran who adopts a dog over 6 months of age.

A copy of your DD214, or its equivalent such as a driver’s license with the Veteran’s designation, will be needed to qualify for the discount.

Guidestar has awarded HFD the Gold Seal of Transparency.

Our next adoption event will be at the Tinley Park Petsmart on Saturday, 16 November from 11 until 2.  As that date nears, to see the dogs who we PLAN to bring, please go to

Consider joining us as a foster family.

Love Big Dogs? Let’s Talk!

Heather’s Foster Dogs is actively recruiting foster homes that can help out medium – large size dogs. Could that be you? The shelters are full of dogs of all sizes, but many times dogs that are not small & cute get overlooked, and we want to help change that. Would you be willing to let a Lab crash on your couch for a bit? Have bully breed experience? Have a soft spot for Shepherds? We would love to meet you! We work to find a placement that works great for your home – be it male/female, old/young, etc. The rescue pays for the food and veterinary care. All you need to do is find the room in your heart and home. 

We host multiple adoption events per month and you only have to attend the ones that work with your schedule. Your dog may need a ride to the occasional vet visit, but no worries. Again, the rescue pays for the veterinary care! 

Fostering is not a lifetime commitment. Fostering is just a commitment to save one life. Make a difference in this world by saving a dog from death row. Even if you cannot foster right now, please share far and wide with interested friends and family, and keep us in mind for the future. 

Interested? Please drop us an email at heathersfosterdogsinfo.org & we will send you a foster home application. You may just ask us for more information, or choose to stop by any of our adoption events to meet us and see what we are all about.
