Funds For Furry Friends - Foster Homes Needed
11/18/2010 at 8:57 AM
Funds For Furry Friends is in desperate need of Foster Homes!
Yesterday, I went to pick up a Foster Dog. It was hard to choose, but I came home with 2 amazing dogs. I have fostered for another shelter before, and it makes my heart smile knowing that I am giving wonderful dogs a cozy home with lots of love and cuddles.
Personally, my Foster Dogs (5 since August) have been adopted within 2 weeks of being posted. All I had to do was take some good pictures and type the description of their personality that reveals itself in my home. Then they sold themselves.
One of the girls I chose is Paige. She has been in the kennel since July!!! After spending time with her, I CANNOT understand how someone could have given her up, or how she hasn't been adopted yet. Of course she was crazy when she came out of her kennel! But that definitely does not represent the gentle, calm, loving girl she truly is. She only needed a chance to be herself. I know that giving her a Foster Home is the key to finding her a Forever Home.
I have posted pictures in this thread of the dogs that are living in the kennel, in need of a Foster Home. Take a peek. If you have room in your heart and your home, email or call FFFF. Dana knows every dog very well. She was key in saving them from their fates of being euthanized and devotes endless hours with the dogs.
You can trust that Dana will give great advice, and is very cautious. (I have found that their descriptions are very cautious, and I am happy to say that some of their concerns are actually no concern at all!) How a dog behaves when they get out of a kennel differs completely from how they behave after just a few hours in a home. My current Foster Dogs are perfect! Plus, they are crated at bedtime and when I go out of the house, so I have no worries. Only tons of love.
Fostering is good for the soul. I highly recommend it.
Of course, these dogs are also up for adoption. I met amazing dogs at FFFF that will make someone VERY happy.

P.S. I hope we can keep this thread active! There are 10 dogs needing Foster Homes, and maybe we can have a count down!
