This is a picture of our wonderful new foster, Joy. I will keep this post updated with additional pictures of Joy, as they become available.
UPDATE: LOOK!!! Now with more pictures!
Okay, Mama! I is ready for my closeup!
Cat (Skitty) and Dog (Joy) living together.
Joy is a pretty dog, a sweet mix of small to mid-sized breeds. She is mostly black, with smatterings of white. She has had a rough go, and is missing her teeth. But she eats soft dog food just fine. She loves people and is very affectionate, and she gets along well with our animals.
We were introduced to the world of fostering by Robert Stewart, President of the Okefenokee Humane Society, and a dear friend. It has been an amazing addition to our household, and I think it has helped make our family stronger. Joy is our seventh foster.
Alison told me this morning that she believes there is as many as forty dogs in foster care coming out of the Humane Society. It is an important testament to the kindness and generosity of so many in our area. On the flip side, it is disturbing that there are so many who neglect and abuse their pets here.
There is much pain and abuse and nastiness here, but there is also caring and hope and Joy...if you just open your heart and look for it.
