It's been quite busy here lately!
Amara was adopted! YAY! I'm so happy with where she is now. I think that she will have a wonderful life with her new family.
Charlie was accepted at HWAC this week. I was sad to see him go, but I know that they will find him a wonderful home.
We had Sampson here for a day, then he went to Apple Valley for a little while. I'm sure we'll have him back before too long, and I'll get a post up for him then.
Right now, we have 2 new fosters, Blue and Syd. I'll put posts up about them hopefully soon.
Luna has been adopted, but we still have her till she gets spayed on Monday, then she will go to her new home. I'll update her post when that happens.
It's been a whirlwind of activity here, and even though I am exhausted, I am happy.

Fostering a Rescue Dog
Quoted from M. Shirley Chong
"Like any foster parent, you have a special task ahead of you. You have to guide, teach, help and love this refugee, without becoming this dog's one-and-only person.
You have to be ready to spend time and energy and love on this dog, and yet be able to give it up when the right family comes along.
If everything works out right, someday not too far in the future, there'll be a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes as you watch your foster dog eagerly leave your home and loving care for a new life with a new family."
And it is SO worth it.
