Foster Family Spotlight: Deb Korman and the Power of Saying “Yes”
“Love Starts Here: Be the Reason a Dog Gets Their Second Chance”
When Deb Korman first thought about fostering, she hesitated. With work, a busy household, and everyday responsibilities, it never felt like the right time. She assumed someone else would step up. Someone with more flexibility. Someone more prepared.
But then she realized: rescues are always in need of foster homes, and waiting for the “perfect” moment could mean a dog misses its second chance.
Since taking the leap, Deb and her family have fostered 49 dogs through Home for Good Dog Rescue—and counting.
What began as a leap of faith has become a way of life. Fostering is now a full family effort. Her husband and kids help care for the dogs with love and patience, and longtime family friend Gabby plays a crucial role as well. Deb and her family specialize in fostering puppies, pregnant dogs, and nursing moms, offering a safe and quiet environment for the some of the most vulnerable dogs in our rescue.
“We choose to be part of the solution,” Deb says. “Watching each dog transform and then find their forever family is worth every moment.”
Together, Deb’s circle gives each dog a soft place to land. Through teamwork, love, and a commitment to making a difference, they help dogs take their first step toward forever.
