I am asked all the time, how I can take in animals into my home with the purpose of giving them to their new families. Don’t I get attached? Fostering animals is not easy, but I know of nothing more rewarding.

Each of my foster animals takes a piece of my heart with them to start their new life. But they leave behind memories, and unconditional love that only an animal can give. I do my very best to pick a family that will love them and care for them. I am sure that mistakes have been made.

One of the hardest things is going into an animal control looking into the eyes of those I know I can’t help. There are just to many, not enough help. There are many nights, I cry myself to sleep, and I will never understand a world that a life can be so disposable.

I know that I must take faith in that, every animal that comes into my house is spayed and neutered and will not add to the problem of overpopulation. People are being educated; I have many friends and other rescuers that do understand and are working as hard as I am to save these so worthy animals. I am not alone, and we are getting stronger with each new rescuer that joins the fight. Each time new adopters choose to rescue rather than reward a breeder we grow and get stronger. Each time that I feel I can’t go on and am crying for those that are lost, I can think about the stories of one of my former fosters that their new families generously share. These stories and pictures make the fight so worth it.


On my knees I thank the Lord every day, for bring these remarkable lovable animals and their new families into my life. They touch my life and add so very much.

For those that have adopted from me, Thank you. As you celebrate this holiday season,
know that you have made a difference.. Give your animal a hug, and Know how much love
they have.

Reasons to Become A Foster Home



I was cold, hungry, scared and in great danger of being abused, injured or killed. But you took me out of this great danger, offered me a warm bed, good food, and the safety of your home. My once dirty, flee bitten sore body is now clean and brushed. I will never be breed for profit because you have taken care of my vet needs and have made me healthy and whole. I will never bring unwanted litters in to this world because you have made sure I was spayed or neutred. You showed me love.

I would of have bitten out of fear, but your hands showed me compassion and tender care. I no longer cringed when a hand was raised near me, because your hands had only kindness and treats to offer me. I no longer feared the sound of feet approaching, because your feet had never kicked me, they had only taken me on wonderful adventures to exciting new places. I learned to trust because you showed me what love was.

I learned so many things with you. How to behave in the house, walk on a leash, sit, and yes I learned to be potty trained. This I learned because of your patience and love. I wanted so to please you, because to me you were my Hero & my guardian Angel.

I would of been dead with out knowing the love a family can bring. Because of you, I have my very own family that loves and cares for me the way you showed me it should be. I know this because it was you that hand pick them for me. Good byes can be hard, but I know you how much love it takes to let me go on to this new and exciting life.

I know that I will be remembered in your heart, as you go on to save other lonely lost lifes. You fight this battle with love. And even though, I know your heart may be sad at our parting, I know that soon it will be filled with the needs of another. Your love will touch yet another's life and and give him the opportunity to become what all of us should. Thank you for saving me!
