I’m a stay at home mom with four children ages are 6 months 2 years 9 and ten years. I also have three small dogs and two cats all are fixed. In the add it said that you were looking for foster homes for the dogs, and that moms and there puppy’s or just the puppy’s were hard to place. Now i know if i were to foster just the puppy’s that they would need to be fed every two to three hours around the clock and that would not be a problem. I know there is a time limit on when they need to be off the property and I would hate to see these dogs killed just because there were not enough foster homes to integrate them in to family life. I would love to help. I have been looking into fostering some dogs from a organization around here however i can see these dog need me more at the moment. If you think that i can help with fostering some dogs or puppy’s let me know i don’t know how you would feel about the dogs being around children. I know they haven’t had human contact but i was thinking that if i was to take one of the dogs and or puppy’s my dogs could help her to get comfortable with my family and i.
Thank you Jennifer

Great! Thanks, Lisa! I’ve forwarded your info to Melanie. Each time she and her crew are successful in capturing a dog, she goes through the folks who are willing to adopt or foster until she finds a good match.

I emailed Melanie, but just wanted to say that I hope to hear from her and I am aching to help in any way possible. Would love to foster. I live 2 miles outside of PDX. I am home all day so I could take on more time consumptive pups.

Thanks, Mary Ann. I’ll make sure your contact info gets to Melanie. I’m sure there will be more need for the younger pups. We just have to catch them and their moms first.

I spoke with Melanie today and said I’d leave my information here on the website. I am not able to take a teen age dog at this time but if you have further need for foster homes for the younger pups please keep me in mind. I live in Washington.

THANK YOU, Theresa!! We aren’t opposed to sending dogs to the Northeast, but time and transport costs likely make that prohibitive. Your cash donation is MUCH appreciated as that helps us pay for volunteers to drive out to Princeton and get the dogs to the rescues who can then adopt the dogs out. I’m passing your contact info along to Melanie; she’s keeping track of everyone who inquires and will contact each as needs arise that are a match for the offer. We appreciate you!

Hi Theresa. We’re looking for any appropriate placement at this point. Of course, we love to see the dogs go to permanent homes but any qualified rescue or foster situation is better than where they are. Also, some of the teen and older dogs who haven’t had much, if any, human contact, are going to need to go into a foster situation until they are socialized enough to be adopted. Melanie just posted today (Jan 30th) with the names of the rescue groups that have taken dogs; you can contact any of them to adopt the dogs they’ve taken from this situation. Every dog removed from rescue to a permanent home opens a spot for another to enter rescue!

Thank you so much, Tasha. We have pregnant dogs out there; new litters are being born as I type. I’ll forward your message to Melanie; she’s the one who you really need to talk with.

Hi, my name is Tasha and I run RSR (Right Start Rescue) out of Battle Ground, Washington. Our rescue is unique that we deal specifically in the placement of puppies. All pups are spayed and neutered prior to adoption and the mass majority of the puppies we intake are younger than 8 weeks old. I’ve whatched the video of the dogs on repeat for the last hour and I definitely feel like we need to help. Transportation is not a problem for the most part and our foster homes are most equipped to deal with young and bottle feeding puppies. We would be happy to drive down, and I do plan on getting in touch with Melanie tomorrow, I suppose my main question is (since I don’t know when this was last updated), are there many puppies remaining?
