I volunteered to be a foster for Ruffus Rescue Atlanta. It's a small foster-based rescue group run by 2 dedicated women - Carla and Karen.
If you're not ready to adopt, fostering is a great option. By fostering a rescue dog, you help the rescue group and shelter open up space to take in more animals. Fostering saves lives! Adopt don't shop!
