Jon to the RESCUE!!!!!

About 2 weeks ago I was watching the 10 o'clock news. A sad sad sad story came on about abandoned animals. A woman here along with a group of real estate agents started a rescue mission 3 months ago called Lost Our Home Pet Foundation. It was started due to the increasing number of animals being found in foreclosed homes that have been left for dead. This group is AMAZING!!! They take animals into "foster" homes and re-train them for a forever home. They also have 2 sub programs: Furry Friends of Foster- A TEMPORARY placement where someone could get there pet back when they get a place!!! And Furry Friends Food Bank- For people who are wanting to drop an animal due to expenses in this economy....They help with food, litter and such! How WONDERFUL right! So I decide to see what it takes to be a foster parent for them and believe it or not...as long as you have a roof and love they are willing to do the rest!! So the next thing i know......I am now the foster coordinator and helping with some PR. I also have fosters here and went on my very own rescue mission.

This is Buddy it took us over 2 hours to lure him into coming with us. he was SO scared! As the story was told to me by the agent he did a "cash for key" where they pay them to leave a foreclosed property. They told him they would be back that night for the dog and the rest of the items the had left on the porch. Then a week later the stuff was gone but the dog was still there. The neighbors had been giving him food and water but he WATCHED his people leave him!! EVIL humans!! Well I better go and play with the zoo I have started lots to do now! YAY something worthwhile and uplifting too! YAY me!!!!
