As my good pals have already said, there are so many links in the resuce chain and every one of them is vital! I'd love to foster but think I'd end up a "foster failure," that is, I don't think I could give him/her up!! I do some transporting, a lot of phone interviews and homechecks but mostly, I handle the applications. It never ceases to amaze me, that for every uncaring person that "dumps" a deserving doggie, there are 2, 3, 4 people ready to step in and help save him/her! Yay, to dukedogsmom and everyone that helps make "rescue" possible!
