I used to always take coworkers unwanted animals, keep them for a while and find them homes. I guess that is considered "fostering". I miss it, and I miss the excitement in finding them a new family. It was hard to let them go, but I knew I couldn't keep them.
I always have wanted to start a deaf animal rescue. My deaf dog is the biggest blessing in my life, and they are some of the most misunderstood animals. I have a house in a residential area, so I know I can't do it at present time, but hopefully in the future at some point.
Justin and I have also been talking about adding a 3rd dog to our tribe. I have always wanted to adopt a deaf-blind dog, and found a few that we are interested in. Of course, they are on the other side of the country which makes transporting difficult (road trip!) one rescue has a brother/sister pair of double dapple dashshunds. One is deaf-blind and the other is blind. I emailed them and they want to place them with us, but I am hesitant in taking both together and having 4 dogs and a ferret (who is sick and is taking all of my attention at the moment). I don't want to separate them, so it is probably not a good fit anyways. If the right one crosses our path, it will be meant to be.
Anyways, kudos to all the rescuers/foster parents. That is a tough job
