We absolutely are not set up to foster. We have 2 dogs in a small house, plus I have my 19 month granddaughter a couple days a week. However I saw a abandoned GSD this week on the forum in a high kill shelter. She broke my heart, and I wondered if fostering a dog in an outside kennel with a lot of physical interaction and attention would be better than leaving her in the shelter? I know we have some people on the forum that keep some of their dogs in kennels, as do some breeders. I wasn't sure if this would be acceptable or not, since I have never been involved with shelters or rescues.
