You can help save a dog simply by offering your home while a permanent one is found. Ginger's Pet Rescue needs foster homes! Below is from the wonder woman herself! If you can find it in your heart to help just one dog, I promise you the positive energy will come back to bless you for caring.
"I started this pet rescue only by accident and all because of ONE dog
that I saved and found a home for by emailing to 40 of my best friends.
Its quite a story and today we have saved over 700 dogs and have a huge
very loving and supportive network.
Its very expensive, very time consuming, very challenging, many issues to
resolve and its a full time job that requires a lot of over time and
weekends too.
I spend my life practically doing this as well as own and operate a restaurant
open 7 days a week in the North End area of Seattle.
I can certainly use more support and help, fostering, adoptions, transports,
fundraising (we are non profit now)
donations and all.
We have annual garage sales, can use donated crates, leashes, collars
and etc.
We save all dogs, big, small, blind, deaf, three legged ones, seniors and
no dog gets turned away as long as we have the people who can help.
I have one foster couple that has fostered over 100 dogs in one year.
Absolutely remarkable.
We have a 7 page application, interview, home check, do dog events,
petfinder, you name it and we get all the exposure that we possibly can.
If you can help or get the word out that would be great.
I spent all day yesterday at the Tacoma Shelter. So over crowded
and so many senior dogs that are so depressed. Their only crime
is not having a home to go to.
Email me everyone if you want to help make a difference.
Its absolutely the most rewarding mission I have ever done.
Join me !!!
Thanks for listening

I have a great little Jack Russell named Spike. He was my son's when he was twelve and growing up, and my son always said that I could have Spike when he grew up. Well, my son did grow up and I got Spike. We have been great pals for a long time, and we are looking for a cool vintage apartment to move into. We are having a hard time, as many of the buildings we find, do not take dogs. Mostly everyone is nice, telling me no as gently as possible. But Spike has not had a chance to really show them what a great and terrific dog he is. Little babies can feed him snacks without fear of nipped fingers, and little girls in the nieghborhood, and little boys too, stop and give Spike a kiss. Can you help? We need something kid of big and with hardwood floors, as we love antiques, (Spike does not get on them however, he has manners) I would love to hear from someone who may have a lead for us.
