A foster-first platform connecting dogs with homes that fit them.
We're building a smarter way to match shelter dogs with the fosters who fit them — so fewer dogs run out of time waiting for the right home.
Follow along → hello@tether.dogWhoever you are in a dog's story, Tether is being built for you.
One dashboard for your dogs, fosters and potential matches — complete with a broadcast system if a dog needs out fast.
Quick signup. Tell us what fits your home, and a shelter reaches out when there's a dog who matches.
Honest answers about what fostering entails, and what happens if something doesn't work out — then a plan to get started.
Step-by-step resources for the first hours: microchip scanning, safe handling, and people near you who can actually help.
Houston has one of the highest dog euthanasia rates in the United States. Most of those dogs don't die from neglect or because people don't care — they die from a lack of connection.
Tether is built to fix that hole in Houston's shelters.
Shelters, fosters, and people who just care — we want to hear from you.
