I remember feeling frustrated at times with how quickly we'd secure foster homes for puppies, or mommy-puppy combos while working at Miami Dade Animal Services, circa 2010. Reason Being: During my time at MDAS, I'd spend days of intense networking and socializing a number of high-risk, larger adult dogs at any given time, doing everything in my power to get these dogs adopted, fostered, or into a reputable rescue (rescues like Miami Dogs on the Move, or Big Dog Ranch) in time . This was one of those 'at-risk big dogs' I helped get out, Mega Event, Miami, 2012, thx to Tracy Deering for fostering this guy! With many, I had success. With others, time ran out, and I lost some dear 4-legged friends to euthanasia. But when it came to puppies and/or mommies with pups, we had much better luck with finding fosters or rescue fast . It could be disheartening, working on a specific at-risk dog for days, just to have a pair of cute puppies come in, and be fostered out t
