I got a reply back. I had also sent them the idea of maybe featuring a family that works in rescue or as fosters but they sent back a good response as to why they can't.
"Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the emails. Unfortunately, we are not able to film in Canada so that does disqualify you. If you’d like to recommend a family, please talk to them first.
In regards to foster dogs—yes, we have thought of that idea. We are not opposed to going down that road; however there are some obvious red flags. Foster dogs often have troubled backgrounds as you know. Gaining a rescue dog’s trust can take time and effort. How would a house full of foster dogs react to their human mother leaving and having a new human mom for a week? Would they trust her immediately? Would she be capable of handling the animals appropriately? What would happen if one of the animals attacked a crew member?
As with all families with animals, we take them on a case by case basis. We are open to all sorts of different dog-related families, but I would hate to pursue a family with foster dogs, and then not be able to feature them because production thought it was too much of a liability. Most people assume that people who work in reality television are out to exploit families—but as I mentioned in my first email, I am a HUGE animal lover. I consider animals as members of the family. Unless all family members are on board and excited, I would hate to put an animal in an uncomfortable environment for ten days for the sake of television.
Thanks again for your emails!"
Makes a lot of sense.
Nicole & Sheena
