Lars's Pawsome Rescue
At Lars’s Pawsome Rescue, our mission is to provide a sanctuary of hope and healing for dogs who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, or simply need a fresh start in life.
We are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and placing these dogs in loving forever homes, ensuring each one receives the compassion, care, and dignity they deserve.
While we know we cannot save every dog, we are deeply committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we do rescue.
As a 100% foster-based organization, our dogs are cared for in nurturing home environments, where they can begin to heal, build trust, and prepare for their next chapter
APPLICATIONS
Fostering a dog is a temporary arrangement where a volunteer of our Rescue takes a dog home and takes care of the dog until the dog gets adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions
FOSTERING, ADOPTING & SURRENDER
How do I become a foster?
Submit a foster application to get started. Once approved, a member of our volunteer team will contact you with next steps.
Can I choose which dog to foster?
Yes! Once approved, you can reach out about a specific dog. Let us know if you need supplies—we’re happy to support you.
How long will I foster a dog?
Foster dogs stay in your care until they are adopted.
What if I have travel plans?
Please notify us as early as possible so we can arrange temporary care.
What if the dog isn’t a good fit?
No problem—just contact us. We’ll work quickly to find a new foster placement.
What happens when my foster dog gets an application?
Once approved, we will:
Contact the applicant
Share their information with you
Ask you to schedule a meet-and-greet
Where do meet-and-greets happen?
They can take place at your home, the adopter’s home, or a nearby park.
What happens after the meet-and-greet?
Adopters are given time to decide. If they move forward:
They sign the adoption agreement
Pay the adoption fee
You coordinate the transfer
Same-day transfers may be possible
We also ask for a photo of the dog with their new family to celebrate their journey
Can I adopt my foster dog?
Absolutely! Fosters follow the same adoption process:
Sign the adoption contract
Pay the adoption donation fee
Share adoption photos
Adopting
How do I adopt a dog?
Submit an application for the dog you’re interested in. We carefully review all applications to find the best match.
What happens if I’m approved?
We’ll contact you to schedule a meet-and-greet with the foster.
As we are all volunteers, we do not contact every applicant. We contact the applicant who's the best suited match for each dog.
Are meet-and-greets required?
Yes. Since we are volunteer run, we kindly ask that you arrive on time.
During a meet and greet you can meet the dog, and we can see your interactions with the dog.
What is a trial adoption?
A trial period in your home helps ensure a successful long-term match.
The adoption fee is refundable during the trial adoption.
What do I need before the trial begins?
Signed adoption agreement
Adoption donation fee
A photo with your new dog
Do dogs get multiple applications?
Yes—many dogs receive multiple applications. We appreciate your patience!
Out-of-State Adoptions
Yes, we do out of state adoptions. You have to come to WA for the meet and greet and to take your dog home.
For out of State adoptions, we do not offer a trial adoption unless the dog was already scheduled to go to a foster home.
Can I change my mind after transport is scheduled?
No. Once a dog is assigned to transport, placement cannot be canceled. Please be sure you’re ready to commit.
Transport
We do not transport dogs to adopters.
How does transport work for incoming dogs?
Some dogs arrive from out-of-state partners. Fosters and adopters meet us at a designated transport location.
Transport dates may change depending on the number of dogs being tagged. All transports are done by volunteers.
About Our Rescue
Do you have a shelter?
No—we are a fully foster-based rescue. All dogs live in loving foster homes until adoption.
How should I contact you?
Please email our team for all inquiries:
larsspawsomerescue2024@gmail.com
Kindly do not contact fosters or volunteers directly.
What is your communication policy?
We are committed to respectful interactions. Disrespectful behavior toward our team and volunteers may result in application denial.
General Questions
Do I need a fenced yard?
Not always. Requirements depend on the dog and will be listed in their profile.
Note: Invisible fences and shock collars are not allowed.
Do you adopt to families with children?
Yes! We carefully match dogs with families to ensure safety and compatibility.
Why is there an adoption fee?
Fees help cover veterinary care and daily expenses, and allow us to continue rescuing dogs in need.
Adoption Fees
Puppies - 2 years: $600
3 years - 8 years: $500
9 - 11: $400

Training
Will my dog be trained?
We work on basic skills like potty training and trust-building, but we are not a training facility.
We kindly ask adopters not to request extended foster stays for training purposes.
Applications

No—just email us to express interest in another dog.
Why do you collect personal information?
It helps us ensure the best possible match for both you and the dog.
