Be a temporary foster to an Old Dominion Humane Society (ODHS) rescue dog with “Home for the Holidays” during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. The pups would be grateful for a little time away from the rescue facility to get attention from a family and have a warm place to snuggle. A tradition at ODHS, the “Home for the Holidays” program allows families or individuals to share their time with a rescue dog for Thanksgiving or Christmas—or both.


To foster during Thanksgiving, visit the ODHS facility and choose a best friend on Saturday, November 22, at 2 p.m., and return the dog on Saturday, November 29, at 12 p.m. “Home for the Holidays” continues for the Christmas holiday, where foster families are invited to ODHS to choose a dog---or two!--on Sunday, December 21, at 12 p.m. and return them on Saturday, January 3, at 12 p.m.


ODHS will supply the food, crate, leash and toys—everything needed to care for a homeless pup for the holidays. To foster a rescue and make the process quicker, visit the ODHS website at www.olddominionhumanesociety.org, fill out a foster application and let the volunteers know you’re ready for “Home for the Holidays.” Or, stop in during the scheduled times and choose a dog that day.



Mocha’s a little more than a year old and loves to play. He’s friendly with other dogs and gets along with cats. He sits on command, listens well, rides in the car calmly, loves hiking, and enjoys napping in his crate. Choose Mocha or another furry friend to foster during Old Dominion Humane Society’s (ODHS) “Home for the Holidays” program through the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons—or both.
