To both of you, huge thanks for going to such great effort to keep DJ comfortable and get him well!!! I have been away for much of the last few weeks so I missed all of what was happening with him. You are both to be commended for all you do in your fostering efforts. These dogs will be well socialized and healthy when they are on their way to their new homes.

I could not agree with you more, either, on the advantages of fostering, what it does for the dog (buying time, helping them learn that people are ok, etc) and for what it does for us! You do fall in love, and it is so hard to let them go, but as I was told by one of our rescue coordinators, we would be "foster failures" if we didn't allow them to go on to their well inspected new homes.

I'm not in a position right now to do any fostering as I'm having issues with my own dogs (fence jumping, anxiety, muddy carpet, etc) in our new environment, but I hope that eventually I will be able to help out in that arena. Anything we do, whether it be helping with administrative tasks, transporting, fostering or adopting, eventually, is so important to the rescue effort!!!

Thanks again, to both of you, for being such wonderful advocates for all that you have helped!!
