CFrance and her husband are very kind indeed. This is not the first old dog they've fostered.
I can rescue dogs (we adopted a rescue in March from Max's Pet Connection, and rehomed a second dog in April).
I just don't think I could ever part with a foster, and that's actually selfish on my part.
It takes a really special selfless person who can see the greater good.
There is a critical need for fosters, and it takes a very special person to offer a foster home to needy animals.
I applaud anyone who can foster; I think they are selfless, and amazing people.
