Nicole,

KUDOS to you (and your family)!!! While I am not fond of breeders (backyard and otherwise), I think what you're doing is truly amazing. Giving back to the community like that is so unselfish and totally rewarding.

I also suffer from depression, PTSD and ADD so I know where you're coming from with the agoraphobia. With my new place, I can just sit and chill.

My childhood friend Susan, fostered FIDELCO dogs and loved it. Then one of the dogs didn't quite finish school because he was way too hyper, so she adopted him. He was a great family dog.

Good luck to you my friend. You are truly amazing!
