[Dailydrool] Alberta Rescues

[lynne kucy]

Specific to Alberta, Canada we have Basset Rescue Edmonton in the north and 
Calgary Basset Rescue in the south. Between the both of us we cover most of the 
prairies. I foster for Edmonton, and we have a hound coming in to care from a 
province over ( Saskatchewan). I have been fostering for just over a year and 
Rupert is our latest foster ( number 8) he is not ready to be posted on the site 
yet as we are just starting to get to know him. Fostering has been the most 
rewarding part of owning a basset, you get to see them come out of there shells 
and get a taste of the good life, and I cry everytime one leaves for a furever 
home. But then I have room for a new furbaby that needs my attention, at least 
the hounds appreciate the mothering, my teenager doesn't ( darn independant 
kids). The coordinators for both rescues network together and with local animal 
societies, breeders and vets to ensure any basset needing help gets it, even New 
Year's Day which is when Rupert came to our home under weight and needing a 
bath; and a local vet tech let the rescue know about a stray that they were 
holding for us that they would vet and get ready for us to pick up, I think she 
comes in this week aswell. We are busy and dedicated up here in Canada.
