We are going to be a Foster Family!

We are going to have a foster brother!



For the longest time, I have wanted to do more to help dogs.  I have thrown around the idea of being foster parents for a couple of years now, but it has always been shot down.  Either by my family or my husband.  "We aren't ready".....or....."You won't be able to let go of a dog".....or....."You will get too attached".

Well, about a month ago, out of nowhere, Ben said we could maybe be foster parents.  Oh my!!!!  I was so excited I finally had Ben on board!  So right away I looked into being a foster mom. 

I looked on-line for local rescue groups looking for prospective foster homes. I found a local rescue group called Sea Dog Rescue. It is a wonderful group that saves dogs from kill shelters and finds them wonderful forever homes!

The founder, Paula, came over tonight for our home visit. It went wonderfully and we are now approved to foster! June and Coop were wonderful....even though Junie did jump on Paula a bit. But all and all they were great!

Now we just have to cross our T's and dot our I's and we are officially foster parents. We will likely get our first foster next weekend! I cannot wait to help and make a difference!

Every dog I am able to foster will be saved from a kill shelter.  That is the best feeling!  I will literally be helping to save lives!  One at a time, my husband and I will be making a difference. 

I have a friend that has fostered several dogs for a rescue group. She says it is tough to let go, but so rewarding! If you get with a good rescue group (which I have!) you have nothing to worry about. The families these dogs go to are screened very carefully. The dogs I will be fostering will be going to great families. 

As always, please visit your local shelter or rescue group to find your next best friend!  Your new dog might just be in their foster home right now waiting for you!

Thanks for stopping by!
