If fostering is not possible, there are many other links in the adoption chain which are just as important!!! I do resuce work with Retriever and all breed rescue groups. I do some transporting and phone screen applicants and do homechecks for those who wish to adopt. Contact a rescue group that you want to help and ask how you can offer assistance. There are many important roles to fill in the adoption/save a life/process! Good luck with Missy and her socialization! And don't be discouraged if fostering isn't the right thing for you right now. You can still help to save a life!!
