Re: WHO has adopted from a rescue discussion

[BarbaraMember]

I foster for two rescue groups and I guarantee you will not regret the decision to adopt. I have adopted the maximum I am allowed to have and still be able to foster but each one adds their own special touch to my life. Most of the dogs I have worked with are puppy mill rescues and the rewards are tenfold what I give to them. It is truly a rewarding and humbling experience to see these dogs go from frightened, skinny and unsocialized creatures to wonderful, loving pets. My heart is especially with the mill dogs because they have been through so much but I’ve never seen an animal that appreciate everything you do for them more than these special babies. My "charter member" and mother hen came from a good breeder but, while I lover her dearly doesn’t have nearly the appreciation that my fosters do.
