Puppy Fostering 101

Rated "G" by the Author.

Our Puppy Fostering Journey

We are fostering two adorable puppies, only a few days old.

I've been blogging about it as I get time, and have some pics posted (say that fast three times). You can read about our "learning experience" at: http://www.petsweekly.com/blog.htm

I'm hoping it will inspire many of you to run out and foster a few of your own. It's a very rewarding experience and we need to really support the animals out there now. The shelters are FAR too full. They need our help.

Best,
Stacy Mantle, Pack Leader

We hope that this week�s posts will provide you with some insight into caring for a new foster, and we dearly hope that it inspires you to contact your local shelters and learn how you can provide a temporary home for puppies or kittens who have been abandoned or orphaned.

You do a wonderful thing, Stacy, and provide marvelous inspiration.

And please help us also spread the word about adopting a new puppy for Christmas, not buying one from a pet store, breeder, or Internet Ad.

Please see my poem: Calamity Jane.

Probably the season where it is most needed common sense contemplating to take home a pet, which, like a child, will get attached to the family and get traumatized when thrown away, we don't do it to children so why it is OK to do it to pets?

Stacy,

I celebrated my fifth year as a foster this season. The shelters are overwhelmed and a little kitten or puppy love is just what we need.
