Every one help one...

In Georgia, about 70% of dogs who enter shelters are euthanized. Some because they are deemed "unadoptable" and some just because they aren't cute enough to be adopted in a few weeks.

Some of you might know my dog Bunni, the apple of my eye (even though I'm having to type this with one hand because she's biting the other). While I did get Bunni from a breeder, not a shelter, I know that there are so many dogs who could give as much love if they were just allowed a second chance.

While I would love to be able to do more, I am going to start fostering at least one dog at a time.

That process started a few days ago by contacting the humane society in my area. The organizer has been super helpful and tonight I had my home inspection. She was very helpful too and answered all my questions.

One topic I'm not sure about is isolation. Dogs from kill shelters are not always healthy and have been exposed to disease and parasites. Some foster parents keep their new fosters in isolation for a few days so they don't get their pets sick. While I do not want to risk the health of my little Bunni or the cats, I cant imagine keeping the new pup separated from the others. I think I will seek more advice from the people at the shelter.

Tomorrow I will go to the shelter to pick up my first foster. I'll post their progress and mine on this blog.
