B in kill shelter in Kansas

Nicole,
Bless your heart, you have done so much for rescues, even if you hadn't you deserve to be able to choose a pup, now that you are very involved, I believe that you even more so deserve to choose your furbaby.
I understand the guilt, I get that every time I look too, but it is not possible for one person to do all that needs to be done. You are doing your share and then some, bless you for that. -

Nicole - As individuals, we can only do so much. Don't feel guilty.
I hope someone steps up to the plate and helps this boy in Kansas.
I, too, am worried about him. -

Sometimes the issue for rescue is not having a foster place to put the dog.
I don't know if this is the case here, but most of rescue folks are pretty full. -

I would love to be a foster but, alas, I know I wouldn't be able to set my b free to go to a new family. Same reason I could never be a breeder….

Vicki - I use to think that way, too. Yes, you get attached, but you know the people you are working with are capable and have the best interest of the dog in mind. I was surprised I could foster without tears and antics!
"I am involved in dog rescue: my wallet and gas tank are always running on empty, my house is never quiet and free of dog hair, nor is my car, my inbox is full of ongoing despair and misery, but my heart and soul are replenished with unconditional love, loyalty, and joy that can only come from a rescued dog!" ~ Author Unknown

I contacted BRat and my foster mom of my brat and the shelter to see how things are going. If I hear anything, I will share. We are 3 hours away from Hutch and had planned to be out of town on Saturday, but I will keep trying.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!
I just got this from my BRAT contact and they are taking care of YODEL IN HUTCHINSON. So no more worries!!!
HERE IS THE EMAIL I JUST GOT:just completed the BRAT information , etc with the shelter. A BRAT applicant/volunteer will be there within about 30 min. to get Yodel. We may need to find someone to Foster yodel but won't know until he gets evaluated. I'll let you know tonight what is going on.

I am so happy to hear this! Please keep us posted.I would love to be a foster but, alas, I know I wouldn't be able to set my b free to go to a new family. Same reason I could never be a breeder….
You would be surprised. I think everyone has a failed foster here or there that you just click with so strongly that you can't let go. But the others, when you meet their new family, and see how happy the family is you just swell. I have actually become good friends with people who have adopted my fosters. When you know that they are going to good homes, and are going to be just as happy there as they were with you, it isn't hard to let go.
