Q&A how I pick my foster dogs

Time to save more lives! New foster baby coming soon but I want your help!

As you know, all dogs are in need—but our hearts really lean toward the seniors, the urgent ones, the medical cases, the ones running out of time.

We do check every day, we stay in touch with the shelters, but I always love hearing from you guys too. If there’s a dog you’ve seen… a new intake… someone you’re worried about—please send them our way.

Let’s continue to say lives ! It takes a village #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #adoptaseniorpet #adoptashelterdog @GACriticalPets @Gwinnett Dogs @LifeLine Animal Project @fultoncountyanimalcenter @Dekalb county animal shelter @Southern Dogspitality @Brian @Bullymake @Dogaholic @SaveAShelterDog @Adopt & save a life @Joe Kay @bria@ATLDogs - Allison @lastchanceatl @Help.4 shelter animals.
