I am officially an Aunt to my new niece, the dog Ellie. My sister is adopting her foster dog. If you want to foster a dog (take care of a dog temporarily as if it was your own) please look up local rescue groups via www.petfinder.com. You will be saving two lives-the life of the dog or cat that you foster and the life of the dog or cat that the rescue group has room for because of your help. Fostering a dog is a wonderful way to help save lives and enrich yours. The rescue group looks for a permanent home as you care for the dog or cat.
