[Dailydrool] Renee's "Rescue Question"

[Susan Timmerman]

Hi Renee!  I do volunteer for a rescue...not a basset only rescue though. 
Anyway, I've never heard of the escrow thing.  Sometimes we do ask folks to 
make a "donation" to help with caring for the dog until someone comes along 
that wants to adopt them.  If they can't provide vet records then we have to 
have the dog vetted and have it spayed or neutered if it's not already done.

As for whether a rescue pays the vet bills for the dogs in foster 
care....that's probably up to the individual rescue.  The rescue I volunteer 
with does.  I should think a rescue would have a difficult time finding 
foster homes if they expected the foster home to pay for vet care.  If you 
are thinking of volunteering with a rescue as a foster home I'd sure make 
sure I ask that question before I agree to take in a foster.  If you can 
afford the vet care for the foster that's a great way to make a donation but 
if you can't afford it then it could end up being a problem for you 
financially!
