FOSTER FAMILES SAVE LIVES !!!
Have you ever considered fostering one of the Ranch Pups? We are looking to form a group of Respite Fosters. This will be Foster Homes who would be willing to take a pup for a short period of time. There are times when our Foster Families go on vacation or have guests in their home, and need a place for their Foster Pup to spend a week, a weekend, a finite amount of time. Would you be interested in such a duty? The Pups and their Foster Families would be so grateful! Complete a Foster Application here : https://imaginefureverranch.org/become-a-foster-dog-parent/ Guenther at The Ranch, and Guenther in his Foster Home - What a difference! We do absolutely everything possible for these wonderful pups at The Ranch; we give them all the love and care that we can. What these lovely kids truly long for is to be in a Home with a Family. Guenther has been ADOPTED!!!
