Christmas Vacation Foster Program:
A Holiday Tail of Joy
“Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?” In your home, alongside a foster pup, of course!
This holiday season, join Pet Helpers for the Christmas Vacation Foster Program, where our goal is to give every shelter dog a chance to celebrate the holidays surrounded by love, warmth, and maybe even a few holiday lights (no promises they won’t try to eat them).
Why Be a Holiday Hero?
Sure, your holidays are already busy with decorating the tree, hanging lights, and dodging Cousin Eddie-level chaos. But imagine the joy of a four-legged friend adding to the fun:
- They’ll make you laugh harder than Clark Griswold after a squirrel surprise.
- They’ll love unconditionally (even if you don’t get the lights to work).
- They’ll teach us all the true meaning of Christmas – love, joy, and second chances.
And for the pups? It’s a Christmas miracle! They’ll get a break from the shelter, experience the warmth of a home, and show their true personalities in a cozy environment.
How Christmas Vacation Works
- Pick Up Your “Holiday Houseguest”
Swing by Pet Helpers by Tuesday, December 23, to pick up your new festive friend. - Spread Holiday Cheer Together
From Christmas Eve snuggles to New Year’s resolutions (like “don’t eat the tinsel”), enjoy every moment together. - Return by January 4th.
Bring your foster pup back to Pet Helpers with plenty of stories—and maybe a resolution to make them a permanent family member.
What's Included?
Don’t worry—unlike Cousin Eddie, your holiday guest comes fully equipped!
- Food
- Toys
- Crate
- Unlimited Tail Wags & Snuggles
All you need to provide is love, a cozy spot by the fire, and maybe a viewing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation for bonding time.
