ways to give
Our work is powered by a community that believes every dog deserves safety, medical care, and a loving home. Whether you donate, shop, fundraise, or simply share our work, your support creates real second chances.
direct donations
Make a one-time gift or become a recurring monthly supporter. Donations help us respond immediately when a pregnant mom, nursing litter, medical case, or vulnerable puppy needs us.

Fosters & Paws, 7500 18th Street, Rio Linda, CA 95673
workplace giving
Your gift may go twice as far through an employer matching program. Ask your employer whether they match charitable contributions or offer payroll giving.
California state employees can arrange recurring payroll deductions through the Our Promise campaign.
fundraise for us
Turn a birthday, wedding, graduation, memorial, or personal milestone into a fundraiser for dogs in need. You can create an online fundraiser or contact us with an idea of your own.
Businesses, restaurants, breweries, and community groups can also host fundraising events, donation drives, or percentage-of-sales nights.
shop with purpose
Shop our wishlists
Send food, formula, enrichment, cleaning supplies, and other essentials directly to the rescue through our Amazon and Chewy wishlists.
Shop for a cause
Support our rescue while shopping for yourself. Purchase Fosters & Paws merchandise or shop through participating partner brands.
help build our future
We are planning for a future adoption center—a welcoming place where rescued dogs can receive care and meet their new families. Home Depot gift cards help us improve and prepare the space we are developing.
Gift cards may be emailed to sayhi@fostersandpaws.org or mailed to 7500 18th Street, Rio Linda, CA 95673.
lasting & corporate gifts
Planned giving
Create a lasting legacy by naming Fosters & Paws in your will or trust, or speak with us about donating appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds.
Corporate partnerships
We welcome charitable partnerships designed to support rescue work while creating meaningful community involvement for your company.
share our mission
Support does not always require a purchase. Follow us, comment, share adoption posts, invite friends to events, and help our dogs reach the people who may become their adopters, fosters, volunteers, or donors.
thank you!
However you choose to help, you are giving dogs a safer tomorrow. We are deeply grateful to have you in the Fosters & Paws community.
