I would like to put some of your fears to rest, also. With an organization like YTNR, I feel sure, although I have no actual experience with them, that they have quite a bit of experience with puppymill dogs. In fact, they probably moved the dogs to a foster home that can work with them.

Also, everyone who fosters for YTNR are volunteers, and they are doing it for the love of the dogs. As such, the last, the very last thing they want to do is euthanize a dog. Also, they are in the best position to find homes that will over look many problems a dog may have or who would be a good match for a dog with a problem that is slow to resolve.

I have fostered for the Italian Greyhound Club of America Rescue and I got a male dog, Monty about twelve years ago and he still lives with me. I didn't think he was placeable and just made the decision to adopt him myself. Another dog, from an 86 yr old woman came to me about two years ago. Twice when I tried to pick her up to make her go out, she bit me, and I mean bit me, really nailed me. Again, I just decided to keep her rather than have anything happen to her. I could manage her and she was sweet otherwise, got along with my dogs. I did place her after about a year, and she celebrated her first year in her forever home in January.

I honestly don't think you need to agonize over your decision. Your babies are in good hands, I am sure.
