I know I ask for foster homes about once per week, but this week we really need foster homes because the shelters are packed this week!

Here’s the way it works. Every time a stray comes in to the shelter, they have to put them in a kennel and hold them to allow an opportunity for the owners to come in and claim them. When the kennels are all full, they have to find a way to make space for those strays (What’s the lesson here? Keep your dogs inside so they don’t go stray!)

Tonight, I’m posting four dogs who need fosters ASAP. Tomorrow, I’ll be posting a few more. If you have been considering becoming a foster home so you can help save a life, now is the time. Can you help one of these dogs?

• First, there is a very sweet, but super scared Lab mix we are trying to help. She is 55lbs and under two years old. Sorry, no pic at this time, but her shyness pulls at my heart because I adore my shy little Pittie girl, Tawnee, and she blossomed into a fantastic girl and just found a great home. She will just take someone with a calm home and time to build her confidence.

• Second is a 95lb, approximately 3.5 yr old sweet Black Lab who has been at the shelter for a month! They think the only reason she’s been passed up is that she is so big…

• and if you think that’s big, third is a 120lbs mixed breed (Lab, Rhodesian?) female, who is overweight and should probably be about 100lbs. Not sure of her age but probably 2-4 yrs.

• Last (for today), Honey Buns is a 6 yr old Basset from the big Basset case that was covered on the news a few months ago. She was returned by her adopter because she lost her home.
