My Nonprofit Reviews

Earlier this year I needed to euthanize my 13 year old chocolate lab, leaving myself and my 2 year old lab alone. I believe both of us were missing another dog around the house to love and play with so I decided that I wanted to help out fostering rescue dogs. I had all intentions of just fostering and wanted to foster senior Labradors! As I looked at the lists of dogs that needed a foster I came upon a very pretty 1 year old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix named Kassidy; could not get any further from a senior lab, which I decided to foster. Kassidy came to me on a very hot Sunday afternoon in August after a very long transport to Minnesota. When Kassidy arrived at MARS she needed to be seen by GVS as it seemed there was something going on with her fresh spay wound. During the first week she was at my house we had to make a couple trips back to GVS to have her wound drained and then finally surgery to take care of the issue. Throughout all of this she was the most cooperative sweet girl; I just fell in love but kept telling myself “you are not going to be a foster failure”. Well about a month later she was adopted and I was heartbroken, until 3 days later I received a call asking if I could take her back as a foster. Needless to say as of October she is now a permanent part of my family and I’m officially a foster failure! I would like to give kudos to MARS staff for making sure that dogs like Kassidy receive the medical care they need and finding homes for dogs and cats in need.
