The Cantu Foundation The Cantu Foundation is a 501 c3 Non-Profit. We rescue and rehabilitate homeless dogs. Our foundatio Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate dogs in crisis.

The Cantu Foundation is a San Diego-based, volunteer run 501c3 nonprofit. Via our network of volunteer advocates, we work to find these dogs forever homes through adoption so that they can live out their lives with the love and safety they deserve. We aren't able to continue to do this work without the help of donations, volunteers, and community support. Here's how you can help:

🐕 Fostering: Fostering is critical to our mission, and we are always looking for fosters in the San Diego/SoCal/OC areas to take care of our dogs before they get adopted! Apply to foster here - -> https://www.thecantufoundation.org/foster

WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🏡

🐾 FOSTER: open your home to Reyna! even ONE MONTH would give us more time to find her a long-term placement.

🤍 SHARE: can’t foster? sharing this reel could help us reach the person who can!

💌 SPREAD THE WORD: ask your friends, family, or anyone in the San Diego area who may be able to help.

Reyna is mellow, loves people, and does well with other dogs when properly introduced. all she needs is a safe place to spend her days while we continue searching for her forever home.

NOVEMBER 7TH IS OUR FINAL DEADLINE.

please help us keep Reyna in a home for the holidays. she deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by warmth and love. 🥺🤍

📢 Helen needs a foster! 📢

Do you want a cuddle buddy but aren’t ready to adopt yet? Are you ready to foster, but want a dog who’s already potty trained and crate trained? Helen might be the perfect match for you!

Helen was found as a stray with her partner Bob and their babies, Dash and Jack Jack. While Bob and the puppies have already found foster homes, Helen needs a safe place to land until she finds her forever home.

A little bit about Helen:

🩷 Helen is a 2-year-old, 23 lb terrier mix. She is a bit reserved at first, but is extremely affectionate and loves to cuddle. She is gentle and a great listener. Helen likes to move at her own pace when it comes to meeting new dogs, but is eager to play once she trusts them. We think she will really start to come out of her shell with some love and time to decompress!

Helen would do well in homes with dogs, cats, and kids. She is available for adoption, too!

Helen went through so much to keep their puppies safe, and now it’s her turn to be taken care of. If you can open your home, apply to foster now on our website.
