I've been thinking about posting this for awhile now and it's come to the point where I just can't NOT do it...if it saves just one life...it'll be worth it!
So, here it is...I am a Foster Mom through Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue and like so many Rescue Organizations these days...we have more Rescue doggies than Foster Mommies or Daddies.
I know it's a bad time out there and tough economics have been thrown into the mix but, why should these little guys & gals have to suffer needlessly because of it
So...here's my question to all my YT pals...if you could, would you save a life and join forces with our rescue group and PLEASE volunteer as a Foster Mom...even just "one" time?
If just one person fostered just one time for one little Yorkie...think about all the good you could do...even if you only did it once! Of course, I doubt many could do it just once as I found out quickly after my first foster experience. -
Did you know that a foster usually stays with you on a average of less than 3 months? The cuter & younger the dog, the faster they are adopted. This is just an approximate time & not a guarantee. Many factors play into making an adoption successful.
Here's what a Foster Mom/Dad is responsible for:
• A safe & clean home with an enclosed backyard or patio.
• Food & Water
• A Doggy Bed to sleep & nap in or even better…Foster Momma/Daddy bed!
• Some walks around the block…that’s what your other hand is for…another leash!
• Companionship & Socialization between you & maybe your other Yorkie(s)!
• Vetting/Transportation when & if the need arises...usually does.
• Interviewing Adoption applicants & finalizing Adoption!
Presently, we have a great need in California (Northern & especially Southern) for Foster homes to open their doors and hearts…even if it’s just one time! If you or even someone you know has the ability to pay it forward for just one of many Yorkies in need…please send me a pm and I’d be happy to help you help YTNR!
It could be as simple as that…just imagine, "one" wayward Yorkie in need that you could help find his/her forever home…in maybe less than 90 days!
