They started to foster puppies and Reinas world was turned upside
down. Suddenly she could take care of puppies all the time and she
would even take on kittens, it made no difference to her. She
would spend her days caring for the little ones, teaching them how
to become well behaved dogs and protecting them from the
dangers that lurked outside. If the puppy or kitten was afraid, she
would gently go next to them or bring them toys, trying to courage
them to explore. If the puppy was too curious, she was quick to
intervene and carry them back inside for safety. If the puppies got
tired on walks, she would carry them on her back pack and when it
was time to go to sleep, she would make sure they were all curled
up in a big pile of furry.
Reina even started to rescue every kitten and puppy she could find
wondering alone. More than once she carried an injured kitten to
her owner on a walk, her eyes saying "This one will come with us"
Reina is just one example of
many pets, that help rescue
animals get another
chance. We know there are
many other dogs and cats
that would love to have a
furry friend or two and if
the owner can not own
another dog, maybe they
could consider fostering?
Fostering will help save
lives and even though it
will be difficult to see the
foster animals leave to
their forever families,
there is always another one
waiting to be rescued.
