Our rescue is a no kill shelter. The dogs aren't crated unless they can do harm to other dogs. They go into individual foster homes and get extensive love and training. They spend at least 6 months as a foster before they can go into a home. Once in a forever home the foster parent spends time with the family. The outside quarter acre has little tyke tables, slides, and in the summer kiddy pools. Our dogs love to go to doggy vacation.
In our area I know of 2 rescues that are very similar. Is it possible there is a similar concept in your area? It's amazing to leave your pups and know they're happy to be going. When we arrive for pick up we get unlimited kisses and know they had a good vacation with other play mates.
I know how hard it is to find the perfect place and hope you can find it for peace of mind.
