My daughter started the Animal Rescue Center (ARC) of Bay County. They go to shelters and get aminals that are scheduled to be put down and find them homes. The "Rescue Center" is actually their back bedroom and they count on foster homes to provide housing for the animals until they can be adopted.

Good ol' mom and dad agreed to foster some of their animals - unfortunately we suck at it. We ended up keeping more of the animals than we adopt out. A couple of the animals have been classified as "unadoptable" so we kept them rather than have them put down. We adopted a blind kitten (that later regained its sight) and a dog with an unpredictable disposition. The dog had a brother and they're inseparable, so we kept the brother, too. We now have six dogs and three cats and no longer foster.

My wife has said she would love to adopt dogs now that we have an acre of land to run them on. God help us if she does. I love dogs but as you can attest to it can get out of hand if you have a bigger heart then a brain.

I am not suggesting you are small minded, just big hearted.

Fantastic!

You must be very wonderful, compassionate and loving people. I am sure you are loved by more than just the furry persons!
