In the last year I have expanded my desire to help dogs in need by going beyond Animal Behavior training and into the arena of Rescue Fostering.

I have recently fostered for Canine Crusaders in Youngstown Ohio and found it to be a rewarding way of trying to improve the lives of dogs that need it the most. 

Since this endeavor is one that I would like to continue, I am making an offer to SHELTERS & RESCUES ONLY in the NE OH., NW PA., & NW NY. area to feel free to contact me regarding a rescued dog in need of short term foster care.  (Private owners needing to place a pet can contact us about our Adoption Referral Program).  In return all I ask is that the rescue organization that places this pet with me will be willing to pay any medical expenses that should arise and also transport to aide in getting adopted dogs to their new owners (if needed).  In return your foster will have access to a nice 50"x50" fenced area to exercise with my 5 resident dogs, training to address any behavioral issues, and a loving home environment with myself, husband, and 2 sons’ ages 12 & 4. I will also aide in the screening of potential adopters, home visits (if in my area or reasonable distance) and write a complete biography for each foster dog I care for.  After a dog that I have fostered is placed I will offer 1 free class (or phone consultation if not within traveling distance) to the new family, as well as a 10 % discount on any training programs they may sign up for in the future. Any person interested in helping with this venture by wanting to be a potential foster home, please feel free to e-mail me to join our list.  Senior dogs, and dogs with handicaps (missing limbs, eyes, ect.) will be given priority placement due to their "harder to adopt" status.  

For any organizations that are not with in a reasonable distance to me or if I currently have a dog fostering with me, I would always be glad to post ANY dog you have that is in desperate need of adoption.  All you need to do is e-mail me the dog's contact information, a picture, and a brief temperament description. 

If any more information is needed regarding the Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Re-homing program
