She is so cute! Thank You for taking care of her and showing her love. Sad stories regarding any animal just really tears me up. I have always said that if I had an acreage and the funds, I would fill up the space with unwanted pets.

All of us say that. lol When I see unwanted pets I alway wish I would win the lottery. I would finally live by myself and bunches of dogs. :-) Maybe its a good thing I don't have money. LOL

Oh no, I didn't take it wrong, just trying to say that there might be a few decently nice Angel's around. ;) Yes, military people are REALLY bad about disposable pets. I also screen VERY carefully before adopting out to them. Since I live in a military town I proudly wear a button on my jacket that says "Pets are not disposable" and similar bumper sticker. Some people stop me and say they agree and one teenager asked me what it meant. I always advocate that military make GREAT foster homes, but not neccessarily great permanent homes. Maybe one day I'll reach just one person! Thank you for fostering too. We need more like us.[/quote]

We do need more like us. I have a quilt rolling around in my head about all the dogs that are put to sleep everyday. In my old neighborhood I was called the Crazy dog lady and wore the name proudly .
I think the idea of a military family being a foster instead of adopting is a great idea. I am going to have to pass that idea on to some of the people in my old rescue. Maybe they can push that idea when someone comes in. I thought about seniors being fosters but not military.

She is so precious.

What a beauty she is! It breaks my heart that she has been treated so badly in the past and is still suffering the effects. Bless you for all you do to make her life better.

What a beautiful little dog! From what you say, yes, you will have your work cut out for you, but those eyes seem to say, 'love me and I'll do anything for you.' Bless you for taking her in.
