New here. Looking for foster.

[Dobelove]

Sorry I would just put this in the adopt section but I'm not allowed to.

Today we were letting in our puppies and a little pitbull was in our yard. She's skinny and shy, but still super sweet. My mom doesn't want her here much longer and wants to take her to the humane society in the morning but I worry being a black pitbull she won't have a good chance there.

I'm in southwest Washington about five minutes from Portland. If anyone has any ideas on how to get her into a good foster home please let me know. I posted on Craigslist (vague info. Wanted proof) but no reply.

Here's a picture of her


Thank you guys. Hope I find some help. I don't want her to end up in the wrong hands or PTS.

Have you posted places asking if people have lost a dog? Has a vet scanned to see if the pup is chipped? I would look in your area for breed specific rescues and if they have any spots open. Good for you for trying to do the right thing. I know the law varies from state to state so not sure about yours in regards to dropping off the pup

From what I've read online all the rescues don't accept strays or owner surrenders. I posted on Craigslist and none of the vets were open today. I walked around seeing if anyone knew who she was but nothing. I'm going to try to convince my mom to keep her another night but she thinks she'll find her home or a new home in the humane society quickly.

I'm confused. If a rescue doesn't accept strays or owner surrenders what do they rescue?

They work with shelters to remove as many dogs as possible of their breed. Or at least that's what I'm thinking. I emailed one just in case I wasn't understanding correctly.

The rescues want a good sob story. Taking in strays or owner surrenders doesn't offer the same condition of dogs. They want "bait dogs" former fighters, stuff that will rake in the donations. Basically the healthy dogs aren't good enough because there isn't a story attached other than, "nobody loves me". My $.02 on most rescues.
