Hi Lania,
rescue is a wonderful thing! I was involved in rescue for several years and found it very rewarding. I did it all, fostering, transporting, home checks etc. My family finally insisted that I give it up after a period where I had NINE fosters in my home at the same time. I take full responsibility for being unable to say " no", but I also think the rescue I was involved with took advantage of that. I think its easy to allow our desire to help these pups get out of control.
I advise you to foster, its a great thing to do. I also advise you to choose the rescue you work with
carefully. Find one that will not allow you to over extend yourself the way I did. Its not good for you or the pups you are trying to help!
I'm STILL trying to convince my family that I can do rescue on a much smaller scale. Wish me luck lol! |
