Did you know yor lcoal animal shelter may have a need for folks to foster newlly-rescued dogs? Yup. Pups and up, dogs in need of loving 'em up right and some assessment of temperament to make a better matchup possible at adoption.

We signed up thinking we would get youth dogs, but I JUST got our first call-- and when I needed to check with Hardi and call them back, I missed a litter of shepherd/rottweiler-mix 5-week old babies. Our shelter supplies cage, bedding, and food correct for their age. Foster family feeds and waters and handles them till they are strong enough to adopt out. (Poop patrol also of course.) Kewl beans, huh? Serial dogs you do not have to board out at vacation time!
