Foster Homes Needed

January 4, 2012 By Jodi

Relax, it’s not Delilah that is in need of a home!  Although I must confess there are days when it crosses my mind. 😉

Most days my dogs and their crazy antics provide me with plenty of blogging material.  I will either have a general idea when I get up in the morning OR the dogs will do something silly and viola  a blog topic.  (Incidentally not having ever taken french in school I actually pronounced this Vee Ola, that is until I was corrected.) 🙂

Today I had nothing.

So I started surfing around the internet looking for inspiration.

I came across a post at Blog Paws, and here is what it said.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is urgently seeking temporary foster homes for dogs while we upgrade the flooring in our dog runs. Construction begins Monday, January 9th and we’re seeking foster homes for dogs who are anxious, sensitive to noise, distracted by lots of activity, or have medical issues.

If you’ve ever considered fostering dogs, this is a great opportunity to share your home for several weeks. Construction is expected to last until the end of January or early February. Expedited training is available.

If you’ve fostered dogs in the past or can help spread the word, we’d greatly appreciate your help. To learn more, click here or contact Diann Hohenthaner, Foster Program Coordinator, at 703-746-5583.  (Her e-mail address is dhohenthaner@alexandriaanimals.org, I don’t know how to add the e-mail link!)

Now you probably know I am NOT in the Alexandria, Virginia area, and quite truthfully, right about now regarding this opportunity I would really LOVE to be.   Because I would LOVE to do a foster and this seems like the perfect situation to me.  Enough of a commitment to get the idea of how fostering would work within our two dog pack but not enough time where we all become really attached and have our hearts broken when the little guy leaves.

With all that being said, I am STILL NOT in the Alexandria, Virginia area so I thought I would throw it out to you and see if you (or your readers) knew anyone that might be able to help out.

Feel free to link back or copy this post. 

Together we CAN make a difference!
