Thank you so much for joining Home At Last Dog Rescue as a foster parent/ volunteer!
Without people like you, it would not be possible to save dogs. Home At Last is proud that we
have saved more than 5000 dogs and are currently placing more than 3 dogs a day in its forever
home. We cannot do it without the dedication & hard work of our volunteers.

Food
If you need food for your foster dog, please contact Lynn Smith ([email protected] or 215815-0007). Ideally if you need food, contact Lynn at least 2 days before an event, so she can
bring the food to the event. This will reduce additional driving for anyone.
Supplies
If you need supplies such as an e-collar, crate, toys, collar, leash, harness, towels, jacket, etc.,
please contact Corissa Reilly ([email protected], 267-357-0644) or Renee Hull
([email protected], 215-262-1503)
Training
If you need training advice we have dog trainers who work with our rescue. Please email HOME
so we can make arrangements with a trainer to meet with your family and foster dog.
Vet Care
Sometimes a foster dog may need to go to the vet. HAL will pay for the services as long as
you have pre-approval from Amanda/ Chrissie Cutulli ([email protected], 484-4290441) and the appointment is made at one of the vet hospitals listed below. Home At Last
has an account at these facilities so when you call let them know this is a HAL dog. Amanda &
Chrissie are in regular contact with our vets and they will keep you posted on your dog’s
condition. Please do not call the vet; instead contact Amanda/ Chrissie for an update.

Common vet services our foster dogs receive include routine vaccinations, spay/neuter,
worms/parasites & kennel cough treatment.
If your dog needs sutures removed, nails trimmed or grooming please ask a board member. We

Website
Contained in this email is your login information for our administrative website. Here you will
find contact information of all the HAL volunteers, our dogs’ bios, and much more. This is where
you access applications for your foster dog.
Medical Records
We have a team of people who are responsible for the collection of medical records for dogs
new to HAL and scanning them into our system. You can access them on your dog’s bio page
under the “View Dog” tab. It can take a couple days to get all the records posted. If you have an
immediate need for specific medical info please post on FB a request for the person with specific
transport records to private message you.

Adoption Applications
Fosters are responsible for processing applications for their foster dogs and all of the steps that
lead to adoption. This includes reviewing each application, contacting applicants, calling
references and conducting a home visit. Please refer to our “Helpful Hints for Processing
Applications” document under “Download PDF Documents” on our admin website for more
detail on how to handle applications. A “Home Visit Checklist” is also provided to offer
guidance when conducting a home visit. Answers to frequently asked questions can be found in
our “Foster Handbook”; please familiarize yourself with all 3 documents. As always, if you have
any questions feel free to contact Barb, Jill Brittin ([email protected], 267-992-4006) or your
mentor who will gladly walk you through the process.
Foster Dog pictures and bios
Updating your dog’s picture and/or bio on a regular basis generates interest. The best way to
ensure the info is updated on all our media is to post on FB and tag any board member or
Christine Arena.
Events
Throughout the year we hold events that showcase our dogs. We typically hold at least one
Meet & Greet every weekend. We always post them on our website. They provide an excellent
opportunity for potential adopters to meet our dogs.
Volunteers
In addition to fostering a dog we have a variety of opportunities for people to help HAL. Some
include fundraising, marketing, maintaining our public Facebook page, scanning document into
our Admin system and being a buddy for a dog at an event. Please email
[email protected] for info on volunteer opportunities.
Being a foster parent or volunteer with HAL is such a rewarding experience. Thank you again for
opening your heart to a dog in need!
