Thanks Jesslan - I can't believe you folks have waiting lists for Chi babies. Diane the director said, she allows out-of-state adoptions! There is a lady coming from Oregon this weekend to p/u her new love. - She also mention there was a rescue that went to Minnesota. Diane will be dropping off two babies, one purebred Chi and one Yorkshire/Poodle mixed little gal. I guess it's my way of giving back. Plus I see Gabby is taking the initiative to care for all of the pooches and her two birds. Oh forgot! 2 of the Chi's Missie and Turbo belong to my 22 year old daughter Emmy, who works PT and attends school Mon to Fri - Takes them home with her Friday night, over the weekend to Monday morning - she is not suppose to have dogs at her apartment. I told her she needs to move! LOL... Oh well...I work from home and like being a house mom. I am sure it'll work out fine. Thank you for your input & advise *smile*!! See that's why I am in the group Gloria C The God of all grace will himself restore youand make you strong, firm and steadfast!1 Peter 5:10

I'm in NY and there's what you'd call a shortage of chi's in our area. There are waiting lists for chihuahuas at almost every shelter. Even the rescue I foster for doesn't get too many chihuahua's. As for providing the food... the Humane Society down the road that I fostered kitties for gave us Hills Science Diet and that's all we were allowed to feed them. (To prevent tummy upsets when going from shelter to foster home and back to shelter.) They also gave vet services to each animal, plus spay/neuter and shots, etc. The rescue I now foster for doesn't provide food, but provides everything else like heartworm, flea meds, and any vet visits needed. However, the dogs we've fostered for have all come with the higher price foods like Merrick's or Wellness, etc. Luckily for us our only dog is Jaelyn, plus now a foster when we have one. Dog & Cat food is expensive. :( And dog food is much more expensive than cat food. For us almost twice as much for just one dog and we have four cats to feed! LOL Probably it all depends on how the rescues donations are handled and what the donations are most needed for within the rescue. However... wow... the thought of being responsible and loving 8 of your own dogs plus taking on 2 fosters... I see why you're stressed. *hug* Just my humble advice... do what is best for you and your family right now. There are times in our lives when fostering is not possible if you've got too many other things going on. You'll make the right decision for you. ;) Jesslan ----- Original Message ----- From: G Chase To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 8:52 PM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Another Picture of My New Chi Girl She is cute!! Pray for me please. The Rescue who I used to foster for has pleaded meto take 2 Chi's. There has been an urgency in Northern and Central California. There are so, so many Chikids out there with no homes - she has 15 to 23 at this time. I am so sadden by this. We have 5 of our own and 3 big pooches. This time I have made it clear she would have to bring their food - she told me she doesn't normally provide the food. I asked her why do other Rescues pay the fosters for food?? She said, right now it's out of control!! (which didn't answer my question).MORE stuff on my plate!
