Our story
How Forever Kuddles came to be
After saving her first litter of puppies, Claudia spent years volunteering in local shelters, where she continued to advocate for animals in need. After fostering dozens of dogs and witnessing firsthand the life-saving power of a foster network, she was inspired to create her own rescue—one centered on providing safe, loving temporary homes for dogs who might otherwise never get the chance to thrive.
The name Forever Kuddles Fosters holds deep personal meaning. Claudia's family's first dog, Kuddles, was named by her then four-year-old daughter, who insisted his name be spelled with a "K" because he was a boy. Kuddles lived a long, joyful life filled with love and companionship, leaving a lasting imprint on Claudia and her family. He was the beginning of Claudia's deep connection to animals and ultimately the inspiration behind her commitment to rescue work.
Today, Claudia continues to lead with heart, ensuring that every dog who comes through Forever Kuddles Fosters is given the care, dignity, and love they deserve—until they find their forever home.
“This is more than rescue work. This is family, heart, and forever love.”
— Claudia
