FOTA is a 501(c)3 non-profit foster-based rescue that began in January 2010. We were established for the purpose of rescuing dogs from shelters. www.fotabr.org

We are not an open intake shelter. Since starting in 2010, FOTA has found forever homes for more than 7,000 animals from local shelters and our FASS re-home program. FOTA Alternative to Shelter Surrender (FASS) is a program where an owner or finder can foster a dog with the intent to have the dog re-homed. Located on our website (www.fotabr.org) FOSTER tab are instructions for applying to the FASS program. Visit our website and learn how you can become a member, donate, or volunteer!

HARMONY is our newest pup- she is cute as a button! We have no clue as to her breed mix, but do know she has a unique look, a headturner
🐾 female, 6 weeks old, currently a solid 5 pounds. She is tiny, but not delicate!

HARMONY is not yet spayed, so is currently available for pre-adoption only. She can be seen and snuggled at The Adoption House.

Our Tiny is living her best life in her cozy forever home! Help us get more dogs like Tiny adopted. Fosters help by giving us feedback about a dog that helps us find the right home for them! Socializing dogs, promoting them, and giving them a safe, loving temporary home are all things a foster can do to make a difference in a dog’s life. Sign up to foster at www.fotabr.org/foster-1 We provide everything you need & work with your schedule!
