"Congrats Shirley.  You have done a wonderful thing.  I'm not sure I understand the Fostering thing.  Does this mean that the dogs will eventually go to another family when you get them healthier?  That would be so hard to…"

"Hi Shirley, our dog had pups a year ago April, it was a big eye-opener. She started off with 10, one stillborn so we went to 9.  Then in the course of 1 week, we lost 3 more to her laying on them when she rolled over to feed them.  I slept…"

"Best of luck!  I foster for an area greyhound group and know the great feeling that comes from having fosters move onto loving homes.  It can be difficult, but you're an important step along the way. Happy 4th!"

Our plans were to head for Michigan on July 4th to see family and to do some summer shows in northern Mich.  About a week ago we stopped at a rescue shelter to take a look at 2 boxers that were listed on the Carolina Boxer Rescue as URGENT, meaning death was eminent.  We met the boxers, one male and one female and found them to be beautiful, friendly dogs, not deserving the fate that awaited them.  They were found as strays and had been in the shelter for 3 weeks, sharing the same cage and…See More
