Bring a Rescue Dog ‘Home for the Holidays’ with Old Dominion Humane Society’s

Temporary Foster Program

Share the Warmth of the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays with a Rescue

Fredericksburg, Va., (November 5, 2025)—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 ODHS is located at 3602 Lafayette Boulevard in Fredericksburg. Adoption events are Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m., Fridays from 6-8 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Application surveys in advance are preferred and take priority over walk-ins.
