Volunteer Program and Foster Program
Looking for a way to help/big impact? How about helping more than just one pet? Fostering may be just for you. Through our program, foster volunteers are able to help house unadopted animals until finding a perfect placement. By fostering you help open more space at the clinic, help save an animal’s life, all while getting to call them friend.
My family and I started fostering because we truly believe that all of God's four legged, furry angels deserve the best lives! It saddens our hearts to see these wonderful, innocent little pups being neglected, abused, and abandoned.
We love to bring them into our home and shower them with affection. It is our ultimate goal to re-establish even the smallest amount of trust in humans

My name is Emilee and I am a foster for Turquoise Paw and I foster because it changes lives! Seeing a dog go from emaciated and terrified to playful and confident is truly one of the world's most rewarding experiences. Turquoise Paw is so awesome to work with because they really prioritize their volunteers and go out of their way to check in and make sure you have everything you need. Saving dogs off the reservation is not easy and Turquoise Paw is working tirelessly to help as many animals as possible. I'm just thankful to be able to contribute in some way to the cause.
