Hestia - Black Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Oswego, Illinois

We are quickly looking to find Foster homes for some of the dogs that were recently removed from the local hoarding situation. We are looking for foster homes that can provide safe and loving care to these dogs while we finish the vetting process for them. The dogs have had initial assessments. And have begun first rounds of vaccinations and deworming as needed. All future vetting is paid for and provided by the rescue.

Dogs to arrive 10/31 approximately 12pm!

Please consider opening your home to offer the opportunity for one of these dogs too find a future adoptive home. Rescued Rascals will send you home with a crate, food, leash, and collar, heartworm, flea and tick prevention. Toys included.

To apply to foster, please fill out the foster application at rescuedrascalsil.org.
