We first began our journey as Foster For Life: a foster support program for folks fostering directly from the shelter led by rescuers and volunteers. In the first 2 years we helped over 150 dogs out of overcrowded shelters engaging more than 75 foster families.

We are still focused on helping Angelenos foster (and adopt) LA city shelter dogs, but as our vision for the program has evolved, we updated our name to Dog Coalition Los Angeles (DCLA).
