I responded to the add, I told the lady I would want to foster her, this is what she came back with...

Hello Deanna,

Thank you so much for your interest in fostering Hope. I independently rescued this little girl about 1.5 months ago and I need to find someone to foster her asap. I'm a student and a new quarter has started and I have two of my own dogs. I really appreciate your willingness to help. I will need someone to foster her until she finds her forever home. When will you be able to start fostering?

Below is the "application" to foster her. Once you have complete it, simply email it back to me. After I receive it, I will contact you regarding the next step.

Thanks!,
Jen
