Wow, thanks for all the info. It' will certainly be helpful!

Thanks for this, you guys. I was expecting to be given a foster who needed me and if I didn't take her, I would be letting her and the whole rescue down. I see now that it doesn't work like that. I keep hoping the phone will ring because the perfect dog has been found, but not yet. I have to be patient.

I'm really hoping I'll get an older dog. They need so much love and they've given so much, it would be nice to have one.

Thanks again.
