Where do you keep the rescue dogs you have and how do I know who is in need of foster? There is a dog at local shelter I am hoping they will release to be fostered. Otherwise I will just continue to visit with her.

All of our dogs are in local foster homes, across the Lehigh Valley. Our dogs come from Ohio most the time. The county shelters there are forced to euthanize any pit bulls, or pit bull mixes because they are not available for the public. (BSL issues!)
So I have wonderful people there that will temperament test and pull, foster any dogs that they think deserve a chance. We try to make sure they are dog friendly, and people friendly of course.
So I have an e-mail list of people who foster, and when a dog becomes urgent we send a bio out to everyone to see if anyone could take in another foster.... It continues like this.
We do not have many dogs at a time, after Angel and Casper get here this weekend we will not be taking in anymore dogs until someone finds a home! It gets tough, especially in the dead of winter. Spring and summer are when the adoptions perk up.
You can e-mail me for more info....

Oh really that's cool. Well I am looking forward to hearing about Angel. If you were a little closer I would come out to meet her as soon as she came in.
