Pet Tails through life thinking that we can’t make a difference. How can one person change the world? My response? Foster. Maybe you’re not changing the world, but you are saving one life at a time. You are making a difference. You are changing the world for that dog–without you, that dog didn’t have a chance. Take the K9 Justice League for an example. Two young women had a dream to start a dog rescue, and that’s exactly what they did. I’ve watched them grow from having a few adoptable dogs to having fifteen adoptable dogs at a time in just a couple of years. That is why fostering is so important. The more families that are willing to foster, the more dogs they can help. So, please, take a chance, open your heart and your home, and allow a foster dog into your life. I’m a foster dog mom, and I always will be. I can’t imagine life any other way.
