something else that makes me sick - probably every foster parent knows about this since we're always in the business of finding homes - many of the labs scan the newspapers for classifieds advertizing free puppies or kittens. You can always find a clue - either they want the whole litter, or they say they'll come to your house right now to pick one out without even asking what colors, sexes, or ages are available, or if you screen calls their message will include a pager or cell phone but no home phone. It makes me sick to think of how many people innocently give away their precious babies to these monsters thinking they have placed them in a loving home.
