    Inspired to foster

    Yep, today I'm gonna finally do it!! With all these rescue stories going on.....I want to be a more active part of it. YES! I am mailing out my application to become a foster home for Leonberger Rescue. Yes, you heard me right.....those are those HUGE (up to 170lbs. for some males) bear-like cuddle bunnies:


    Wish me good luck!!

    Good luck, I think that is a lovely dog and you have a heart of gold to want to care for them.

    Thank you! I've always loved the "big guys"! I hope Killian and Shiloh will love him/her, too. Leonbergers usually get along with everyone.

    Souraya, I can't wait to foster one!! I wonder if I would be able to give it up?? We'll have towait and see. Do you know where your uncle's friend got his from??

    Mike, you guys will be the first to know!! I sure hope they find me one quick. They are a rare breed and I really can't see why anyone would give one up anyways!

    Good luck with your foster. They are beautiful dogs!

    I too have been thinking more and more about fostering. I haven't talked to ralph about it yet, but maybe once we get back from Florida, we can at least look into the deatial of it.

    Sue! I am thrilled that you are going to do this. I have a floor full of dogs, right beside me, two of them are not "mine"!!!! LOL!!! I am enjoying this, so far. I know that since Splash is my first "real" foster, not just one I am keeping temporarally, it will be harder to let her go. But I plan to enjoy every minute of having her here, and work my hardest to get her trained and ready to make a good pet for someone, someday.

    Best of luck to you!!
