In Need

To be brutally honest the economy sucks. Okay, so not exactly a news flash. Many of us are feeling the pinch, and frankly, pinch doesn't begin to describe it.

If there is one thing rescue groups are always in need of it is Foster Homes. If there is another it is support of those very same foster homes. If you cannot foster yourself, would you consider supporting those who do?

You could write a huge check to your favorite rescue and believe me two footed and four footed creatures will do the happy dance. You can make a small donation and that too will make tails wag on earth and in heaven.

There are foster homes greatly in need and seriously in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. There are foster homes trying to juggle how to pay the bills and feed the dogs. Many across the country are in this boat. Some though, have also committed to helping animals in need.

Many rescue programs offer the option to sponsor specific fosters. You know the adorable little dog/cat you'd love to adopt? But the time isn't right? You could (yes, its true!) you could still help! A donation can provide food, toys and assist with medical needs. If fostering is not an option at this point in your life, would you open your heart to assisting those who do? Seriously you can make a difference!

You could save a life without having to clean up any puddles or piles of poo! Behind every animal up for adoption is a foster home willing to put their love on the line. Your support matters. Your support is crucial.

Spoken for foster homes everywhere....and followed up by the pleading of deep brown puppy dog eyes in need.
