Some words about fostering

We are still waiting on a family for Saphyre -- and for another animal for our family to foster.  My family has taken dogs the last couple of times, and these were not high needs dogs, but they do require some attention.  Our own animals also need their attention -- including our two dogs. 
We knew when we began fostering that our family would only be able to handle a high needs animal once in a great while.  Which is one reason more foster families are needed so badly.  High needs situations do not happen often, but they do happen and these are best spread around amoung lots of willing hands.  I really appreaciate how the staff at the Humane Society are so careful to be sure to only send home an animal that we feel comfortable caring for.
Right now there is another dog which needs heartworm treatment and she will need to be in foster care for about a month, keeping quiet, like we did with Saphyre.  There are also two puppies which need daily physical therapy.  However, the six of us have a lot going on right now, and we are not in a situation to help these wonderful dogs out.  There are several other foster families also -- but the more there are the more the load is spread around.
