I don't Facebook (like my privacy too much) but was wondering how the foster dogs were doing. Do they have homes yet?

The rescue situation persists and is ongoing.
Fosters play a very important role in the rescue process helping to ensure health, training, and evaluation of temperament to make sure these dogs don't land in homes unsuitable to care for them.
To me, it takes a very special person to bring a dog in to their life that they know will be with them for shorter than the lifetime of the dog. It's got to be difficult to not fall in love with all of them, but I guess there great satisfaction when the dog gets a forever home.
It's something I am contemplating for the future. I just can't bring any new dogs into my home with Radar.

I have a lot of respect for those that foster dogs. I'm slowly introducing the concept of fostering a dog to the family, but while Peanuts is in decline it just wouldn't be fair. Plus, I have to admit I usually end up at kill shelters when the time comes go get a new dog. Changing my thinking to realize fostering helps get multiple dogs out of shelters is an adjustment.
Of course the other problem is I'm not sure we could handle a full blown working line DS. My sweet mild Bramble is a handful
.
In between kids, I used to help out a local rescue by manning booths at events and using my dog as sample. If there is any way I can help, I'd be happy to.
