Kennadi is the second ACD that I have fostered through PAN. Including her we have 4 dogs and 1 cat in the house. PAN will not allow me to foster any other dogs with that many animals in the house. My first foster was Belle, she was with me for over a year before we were able to find her a permanent home that was perfect for her as well as the woman that adopted her. Belle was very hard to place because as a pup she lost a front leg in an accident. It was not easy letting her go but by doing so I was able to take in Kennadi. Because of her fearfulness at the shelter had I not taken her she would have been put down because when most people go to adopt a dog they just don't seem to be able to look past the current situation and look at the potential a dog like Kennadi has. I took one look at her and knew all she really needed was some good loving and firm guidance.
When we do find someone that is interested in her they will have to come here for a "meet and greet", she will visit there home for another "meet and greet" as well as a home inspection and evaluation before letting them adopt her. We take placing our dogs very seriously, should I believe that the prospective home would not be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy for her I have the power to reject the application with full support from PAN.

Kennadi will never know how lucky she was that you became her foster care giver, and that her forever home will be just as good as yours. With a perceptive, caring, animal lover like you, G., to insure that she goes to only the best home, all she needs to know, is that from here on, Life is Good.
I bet PAN wishes they had 10 more of you, Man.
PAN is always looking for good foster homes...
