font-family:Arial'>Actually I think you could substitute just about any state
in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
for MN but I am going for my target audience. Basset Buddies Rescue needs
foster homes in MN (and in WI and northern IL too!) We have 80 bassets in
foster care, a long waiting list and relinquishment phone calls coming in
daily. Everyone is facing this struggle but if you live in BBR territory
(MN, WI and northern IL) we need you. Please go on our website and fill
out a foster application. We have puppies, seniors, pairs, middle-aged,
medically needy- just about any kind of basset you could imagine looking for a
nice foster home. Another option to consider is being a respite foster
home. Occasionally (perish the thought) some of our foster homes think
they should be able to take a vacation where they can’t take their foster
or fosters with. If you are worried about being hit with foster failure, respite
fostering is a very safe option. You just volunteer for the week or two
the regular foster home is out of town. It is a huge help! You are
welcome to email me if you have questions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

2 months away. Come to scenic <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Muskego</st1:City>
<st1:State w:st="on">WI</st1:State></st1:place>. Your bassets will play
all weekend in the free basset zone; they can ride in the parade if they want
on Sunday or just relax at the park. Lots of food, fun, friendship,
auctions and bassets! August 22 & 23.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
