My foster boy

[Duck on Wheels]

A cousin of mine just started a petting zoo using rescued animals -- a donkey, some rabbits, pigs, sheep and so on. It's also an employment opportunity for people with various disabilities. If you're looking for a great place for a kids' birthday party down in SoCal (Altadena), or a great placement for a kid-friendly animal in need, look up Danny's Farm

That sounds like so much fun--and it's a great opportunity for special needs people.

Beautiful doggies!

I had a foster girl this summer. She showed up here and we couldn't find the owner so I registered her with a local rescue that got her shots UTD and spayed her. She found her forever home and it was hard to see her go. Our neighbor (who is also our landlord) wants to foster a pregnant ***** and I can't wait to help with the puppies!

Huge hugs to everyone who helps in rescue!

He's so adorable!!!

There seems to be tooo many awful puppy mills, we recently had a bust here in NM, they had to place 400 dogs. We usually foster, but have been so busy that we couldn't. Although we still might take in one or two basset hounds if they can't place them. One of the fellows is only 6 mos. but skin and bones and socially stinted at this point in time, but with some tender loving care.

We fostered a deaf pitbull last year, he was my first pitbull experience, but I must say he was one of the most difficult to give up after finding good parents.

Good luck finding Luke the perfect parents!

Yes! Pits can be aggressive with other animals, but there's nothing sweeter with people than a pit. I miss my Roo

My foster boy Luke went to his new home yesterday. He had lived with us 6 months to the day when he left for his new home on Sunday. I couldn't have found a nicer family for him. They are going to spoil him silly and they've already bought him a bed like he had here, a new doggie door, new fencing for the backyard, a nice cot for the deck, and lots of attention from his new mom.

Luke always came running when I used the ice dispenser. It feels funny to not see his happy face when I fill up my drinks.

I think those who are rescuers and fosters are some of the most courageous people to let their heart break with every pet that goes out the door for the last time.

((((((((Sundial))))))))))) - I couldn't do it. Thank you for doing what you do.

You are the one who made it possible for Luke to have wonderful forever home. He sends you a big dog kiss for that to make you feel better. My dog (a rescue) Pascua (avatar is pic pf him when he was a puppy) also sends you a gentle kiss for your foster work. YOU are inspiring and courageous!
