APRIL - Mom to Beau and Nike
I got into the "volunteer" role when I was looking for a dog for my wonderful Boxer Beau. He needed a puppy, a friend to love when I'm at work. My skin kids are grown and out of the house, and now that I no longer spend dozens of hours as the treasurer of this or that booster club, I can focus on the less fortunate. I was in the process of completing an adoption application when I discovered the foster plea for a wonderful young boy whose time was running out. I started there, continued my search for Beau's new little "sister" and adopted my Nike pocket boxer. Fostering is rewarding, heartbreaking, exhausting and challenging. But, I love my fosters and hopefully, my house is just the next step to their perfect family. That's why I foster.
