If anyone can help Kim by fostering this dog, you'd be a really lifesaver!

Hi, all. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Let me explain my situation a little more.

I have rescued in Alabama for the past 7 years, so unfortunately know the dismal situation for animals in the SE. I just moved to GA, so do not have a network like I used to have. If I were still in AL I would already have a plan worked up for this sweet girl. But I know no one in GA yet that is in rescue and have no support.

I just moved into a house last week after living in temporary housing for the past two months. I already have 8 dogs and several cats, and the majority have been in boarding that whole time. I still have two boarded because our place is not ready for their special needs yet, so my boarding bill is enormous. 

The one space I had to foster this little girl is a kennel built by the previous owner of our house. However, she keeps escaping it.  I had nowhere to take her yesterday, and I called every vet in Covington. None would help me. Finally, Fantana Farms, a boarding facility near Covington, agreed to board her, but not for free; I am paying $22 a day. I can't sustain this for long. I had to get her shots, as well, in order for them to board her. I am worming her myself and have done flea treatment, so she just needs heartworm test and spay. She is only around 1 year old, so hoping she is negative for heartworms.

She is extremely sweet and gentle; just craving love. I have seen her be very gentle with cats and other dogs while we were at the vet. She is also very smart and quick to learn.

I live in the country so sadly see lots of dogs on the road every day on my long commute to work. But I just could not leave this one. 

If anyone can possibly help me find a foster for this girl I would so appreciate it. I cannot bring her back to my house, and I cannot afford a boarding bill. For the first time in 7 years of doing this heartbreaking work, I feel totally helpless.

Thanks for your consideration.
