		<description>We have an old hound dog that we have been fostering that has turned out to be the best foster that we could ever have. She is house broken, crate trained, kid friendly and good with other dogs and cats. I would keep her if I didn't already have more than enough of my own personal animals. When I say kid friendly I mean way kid friendly, I babysit a toddler (18months old) who climbs all over her and messes around with her, when I shoo him away she follows him. She has to be right by his side  ...</description>

		<description>I just wanted to introduce my new foster. Ruby is a 4 year old beautiful chocolate mini dachshund. She weighs about 10 pounds and is So sweet. She was surrendered along with 14 other dachshunds from a breeder in TN. I just picked her up on Aug. 28th so I will have to post again when I learn more about her. I do know she is VERY timid as she is not used to a lot of human interaction. She gets along very well with my other dogs and surprisingly she loves children that are familiar with handeling  ...</description>

		<description>I am posting this for a friend in Maryland. She rescued a female hamster recently and, much to her surprise, found seven newborns in her cage mere days later! The babies are so far healthy and feeding well, and in about six weeks will need to be separated and sent to new homes. Though she would love to keep them herself, she and her room mate already have a large critter family to care for, and lack the space and funding to accommodate all of these babies - she will already be keeping one that  ...</description>

		<description>As a rescuer of this misunderstood breed, I live by these Code of Ethics http://www.badrap.org/rescue/COE.pdf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that PROPER PLACEMENT is the most important to keep in mind in rescue, no matter what species or breed.  I believe it is vital to the animal, the potential adopter, and the community.

She would do best in an active home without small animals. True to the terrier nature, she has a small animal prey drive that will need to be managed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mia is a SMART, enjoyable dog to be around and needs a home to call hers forever!  ...</description>

		<title>Foster Homes Needed ~ New Hope Pit Bull Rescue</title>
		<link>http://earn.topicboards.com/volunteer-f8/foster-homes-needed-new-hope-pit-bull-rescue-t92.htm</link>
		<description>New Hope Pit Bull Rescue is not a shelter facility and we rely on foster homes to help us save these wonderful dogs. If you aren't able to adopt, but would still like to help a dog in need, consider fostering. Military family's make GREAT fosters for our dogs! To learn more about becoming a foster home for NHPBR, please read our Foster FAQ, and then fill out our Foster Application at the bottom of the page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for opening your heart to a Pit Bull in need!  </description>
