Foster and Volunteer Recruitment Drive - Home for Good Dog Rescue

Foster and Volunteer Recruitment Drive

Home for Good Dog Rescue is currently looking for fosters and volunteers. Representatives will be available at PetSmart, 187 Millburn Ave, Millburn, NJ from 11 AM to 3 PM to answer your questions regarding our organization. If you or someone you know may be interested or would like more information, please contact us at 908-598-8212 or visit our website Homeforgooddogs.org.

Home for Good is a volunteer-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue. Our mission is to rescue, nurture and place adoptable dogs into loving homes for good. Home for Good rescues dogs from high-kill shelters (dogs at high risk of being euthanized due to shelter overcrowding) and matches them with loving families in NJ and the surrounding area.

Since our founding in August 2010, Home for Good has successfully placed over 750 dogs into permanent “forever” homes. We heavily rely on our foster program which provides temporary housing and a loving family environment until the dogs are adopted into permanent homes. We provide veterinary care and all food and supplies while the pet is in foster care. We always have a waiting list of dogs in need. We are constantly looking for new fosters, so that we can save even more dogs. Our foster families provide a vital link in our mission to save dogs from euthanasia and place them in loving homes.

Home for Good is run by dedicated professionals who volunteer their time and resources to help homeless dogs. Our volunteers are instrumental in preparing the dogs for adoption, providing temporary housing the dogs (through our foster program), and assisting with the adoption events, fundraising and community outreach activities. We also have a junior volunteer (over 16 years of age) program.
