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.</DIV></div></body></html>
