I was on Facebook several weeks ago when my cousin posted a picture of three puppies who were in a shelter and needed out due to over population. Because these shelters are so over crowded, dogs are being put to sleep every day, thousands of dogs. Its mind blowing. Anyway, the post was sponsored by a rescue group called, Rescue Rovers Pet Adoptions. This group finds dogs in over crowded kennels and pulls them out and gives them to their group of foster families. I just thought this was so cool. So I decided to sign up to be a foster. I forgot to mention it to Eddie, or maybe just thought I would let him know after we took in our first foster. Anyway, literally 10 minutes after I signed up to foster, I got a call from Jodi who is the director of fostering. This group is so very organized. There is a person in the lead of each phase of the process. Pulling the dogs, fostering them out, medical, adoptions and follow up. I loved the organization.
So I got the call and they asked if I would take in three sister pups. A shepherd mix of some kind. I was so hesitant to take three as my first fostering experience, but agreed to it begging Jodi to find two other fosters to take the other girls. Thankfully she did and we only ended up with the one puppy. A little black and brown dog that we named Mystique.

Well Mystique won our hearts very quickly and when it was time to take her to an adoption even, I just could not do it. I FOSTER FAILED and adopted this sweet girl.
After failing as a foster, I decided to try again and take in another rescue, this time a wery active little beagle. His name is Price. He was with us for almost a week, super fun and the kids just loved him. Last night he met his forever family and they quickly adopted him up after falling in love with him.
On Saturday our house will get super crazy when we take in two new puppies who have been rescued from death row. I am excited and nervous at the same time. TWO puppies! One is hard enough, but two. Please say a few prayers for me.
I can't deny it, I am hooked. I love all these little fury friends who come and stay with us for a little while as we work to find them forever homes. If you are ever looking to add a furry friend to your family, consider fostering or adoption. Save a life. They are so worth it.
