I keep telling my mom who lost a dog last week (but still has one younger one) that she should try fostering for a local organization for a little while, and maybe then she will stumble upon her next dog in the processThat's so awesome!! Fostering is best of all worlds. You get an awesome buddy whose food and vet care is paid for, they get a chill home life, it frees up a space in the shelter for another pup. WIN WIN WIN
