Hi all! long time no chat with...
I am in the middle of a dilemma that needs some advice and outside sources for me to gain to a perspective on it.
Back in October i was sucked into a role of foster parent for a dog who is supposedly in a rescue group's database. The term "put to sleep" immediately was the one that got me. So i drove 3 hours to pick up this dog from its then current foster mom. The dog was supposed to be transported to Texas to live with 12 other dogs. Upon introducing it to my baby dog it was determined that this dog would not do well with 12 other dogs and needed a solo place. So my problem is with the resce group. they haven't contacted me since dec 10th....on dec 10th they had forwarded (after a lot of nagging by me!) adoption forms. Its obvious to me that this is an out of sight out of mind situation. I feel very dumped upon. My gut says if i contact the rescue agency all they will do is move her to another foster home and she will remain lost in the foster system until she passes. Does anyone know if there is any regulation done on these rescue agencies? it is apparently a "non-profit organization" for IRS purposes. I just keep having this nagging feeling that i am not the first one that this group has dumped upon and will not be the last. The dog is now being registered with another rescue group in hopes of finding her a new home. But gosh this practice of dumping onto good hearted foster folks...... any ideas? thoughts? fellow whinings?
thanks!
