If you are on the fence about fostering, today’s the day to tip over to the experience! ❤️ Twelve Little Dogs.Imagine that the only home you have ever known suddenly becomes quiet.Your person is gone. Strangers are coming and going. Everything smells different. You don’t understand what happened or why.**That is the world these 12 little Chihuahua mixes are living in right now.**Their owner passed away, leaving all 12 behind. And now we have the opportunity to help them begin again.But before they are ready for adoption, what many of them need most is something simple:**A quiet home. A patient person. And a little time to realize they are safe. ❤️**Right now, they are understandably afraid and confused. Some are already showing us their sweet, affectionate personalities. Others are much more cautious, and a couple have shown some reactivity toward unfamiliar people. We are continuing to assess each dog and learn what he or she needs.This is where **foster homes can change everything.**We are looking for patient, understanding fosters willing to welcome **one or possibly two dogs** into their homes and give them a chance to decompress. You don't need to have all the answers or be an expert—we will support you along the way.**We provide veterinary care (we will make and pay for appointments for treatment of cherry eye), food, crates, bedding and other needed supplies. We can also provide guidance and training tips as you get to know your foster.**We cannot predict how long any dog will need a foster home before being adopted, but we ask that fosters plan for **at least two weeks**. Those first couple of weeks are incredibly valuable. Once a dog begins to feel safe, we learn who they really are—and what kind of forever home will be the best match.For these 12 dogs, a foster home isn't simply a place to stay.**It's the bridge between the life they lost and the life waiting for them.**If you've ever thought about fostering, this may be your opportunity to make an enormous difference for one very small dog.🐾 Can you open your home to one?🐾 Could you foster a bonded or compatible pair?🐾 Can't foster? Please share this post. One share may reach exactly the person we need.Please PM our page for more information or complete the foster form if you can help. www.cvrrescue.org/foster-application/Twelve dogs don't need one person to save them all. They just need enough people willing to save one. ❤️Here are a few pics of the sweet souls. ...

Yesterday was hot. A blast furnace of a day. In an open invite to Autumn, I cleared the deck: I upended pots of tired tomatoes to the back of border; I dumped a chair with a dodgy seat; I laundered a soft throw that matched the Adirondack by the back door (I cannot wait!). All the time, my ten-year-old pup Biggie watched me from his favorite spot in the mulch bed. He's a good boy. Not so active nowadays, preferring a steady half mile walk to a hike in the hills. He still barks at the mailman...and at invisible intruders at 11pm 🙂 He takes a few cheap pain meds each day...like me. At night, we cuddle on the sofa and watch reruns of favorite comedy programs or British Emergency Service shows that make me remember why I'm here and not there. Biggie is an important part of my day-to-day life. He's a senior and that reminds me each day to tell him what a good boy he is while I can. Days will be kinda crappy when he's gone.If you don't have a Biggie in your life, I have a solution for you. Adopt Ribeye. He's shaggier than Biggie, a little younger at eight years old. But really, they're the same: older dogs needing a little comfort in their later years. Ribeye is with a foster right now after being sprung from a shelter. Shelters often aren't kind to old animals. If your life doesn't have room for Ribeye, take this post as a challenge. As well as Liking or Sharing this post, reach out to five friends and tell them about him. Talk him up at work. Find a church pal whose life could be richer for a little Ribeye ❤ I can arrange a meet and greet, answer questions, introduce you to his foster. PLEASE HELP me get this lovely dog into a permanent home by the holidays. SHARE, share, share ❤ His adoption fee is covered for the right adopter. -Bunny ...
