I'm sure a lot of rescues are hurting. This year, Special Needs Dobermans stopped being able to help private owners, due to a shortage in funds. But yesterday, Meadowcat (remember Meadowcat? She has an Etsy store now, by the by. And has expanded into collars. Maisie at Reactive Champion did a review.)
But, because Doberman Rescue Minnesota is not a kennel, but rather relies upon foster homes to house their rescued dogs, they are in need of volunteers, especially foster homes. So, if you're in Minnesota and would like to foster or otherwise volunteer, you can fill out their online Volunteer Application.
I'm not close enough to foster for them, and the inn is full right now, but I can vouch and say that fostering is a wonderful experience that you won't regret!
ReplyDeleteIt's something I've thought about on occasion (though not for DRM, as we're in New York), and I'm not sure how Miss Elka would be, nor how the fiance would be.
DeleteHope those foster homes come through

Thanks, I hope so too!
Delete:( Not in Minnesota - but fostering is a great way to help out! Thanks for spreading the word Elka! Hope the pups in need find spots soon...and in the meantime maybe we can all spread the word through Facebook and other connections....
ReplyDeleteSpreading the word is what I try to do! The Interweb is great for it :D
DeleteThank you for the blog post, Jen! DRM is a great organization, and I'm glad to be a volunteer.

You're welcome! I figure I might as well use what exposure I have to help the Dobermans!
