PLEASE SHARE! Are you a dog lover? Have you ever considered fostering dog or wondered what fostering a dog consisted of? We are always looking for foster homes! I work with a wonderful group out of Houston Texas where there are over 1 MILLION dogs living on the streets. The specific area of Houston these dogs come from has been dubbed, “The Corridor of Cruelty.” I absolutely have no concept of how bad this area is. I have seen pictures, but it seems so unreal. Dogs are dumped here like trash. They are bred, used for fighting, neglected, abused, tortured....and left to die. Locally, Erin Housley works to get dogs who have approved applications for foster or adoptive home brought from Houston to Wisconsin. These dogs are the lucky ones. Everyday the staff in Houston leave dogs on the street because they have no homes to take them too. (They maintain feeding stations daily in the corridor to help them survive.) They have been vetted, fixed, and all up to date on their shots before they come. All they need is a little love and compassion. As a foster family, you are under no financial obligation and even better yet under no obligation. If the dog doesnt fit well in your home or something changes, we will take the dog back. All you need is to have a huge heart, patience, and a willingness to show these dogs what love really is. I am now on my third dog from Houston and have found this to be the most rewarding thing I have ever experienced in my life! And, I have met some amazing heroic people in the process. If I can convince even one more person to try to foster, it could save several dogs. A rescuer from Houston, Larissa Reynolds Gavin, told me recently that if you consider how many puppies one unfixed dog can make, you see how many dogs you really saved, by just saving one. If you have ever considered fostering, please message me with any questions. If you are willing, I can get you in contact with the appropriate person. To give you an idea of the horror these dogs go through, please view this recently made video about the corridor. https://youtube/watch?v=n6jAuVCAzDg
