Just dogs with Sherri: Looking for a forever home

I was smitten the moment I laid my eyes on this little guy.

Yesterday I had the honor of meeting five new dogs. These dogs through no fault of their own are lacking a family. Four of them were young dogs, puppies and each and everyone produced the awwww response in me. These dogs are a few of the lucky ones though, they have foster families who are caring for them until they can find a permanent family to call their own. The group that these fosters work with are Friends of Orange County's Homeless pets.

I've written before about how much I respect and admire those who foster dogs. After meeting the dogs yesterday I am once again inspired by the foster folks. I don't how they do it but they do and they make a great number of people and dogs happy by bringing them together. The people I met yesterday were all about the dogs, and seeing how happy and settled the pups were were after such a short time tells me that these are good places to be when waiting for your forever home.

The biggest difference for dogs who land in a foster home versus a shelter is learning. The dog starts learning about living in a home and the foster parent gets a better read on what the dog is like living in a home. The dogs that are lucky enough to be scooped and placed in foster truly benefit from the love and care afforded to them.

Below are some of the photos that I took. If any of these tweak your heartstrings, please contact Friends of Orange County's Homeless pets and make one more homeless and much loved family member.
