What does fostering mean?

Hmmmm... fostering means a lot of things. It means taking a dog (or cat) into your home and taking responsibilty for the care and nuturing of this lonely little thing. It means you'll have accidents in your house, it means you may have to rush to the vet or give your foster fluids when it is sick. It means taking a dog that is more then likely sick and will need time and love to get better. It means taking a foster through thick and thin, through the tough times when you are so freeking tired the end never seems to come.... it means sticking with your foster to see that happy ending one day, yet it may be 6 months from now. Fostering is not easy, if anything it is the hardest thing someone can do. But I applaud my foster homes that have stuck by me through all of this and through over 1,000 + dogs saved. Fosters come and go, but it's the ones that stay that make the difference in a life. Because remember... fostering means saving a life. It could save your life maybe?
