1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Some of you may remember that Emily and I are looking into rescuing a 2nd dog. Given our schedules and Brewer's separation anxiety, the requirements for the new addition are pretty high (house broken, kennel trained, kid friendly, a decent grasp of basic obedience, and above all...the ability to Brewer's BFF).

We have been volunteering for MUSHR since we rescued Brewer 13+ months ago, and have taken care of a number of rescues for short periods of time (2-7 days). Recently, MUSHR took in 3 different sets of puppies, which created the need for a new foster home for Fiona. Needless to say, we jumped at the opportunity to start testing out of if a 2nd dog would help out with Brewer's anxiety. She is an exuberant 1yr old bi-eyed Husky mix that needs to put on a few lbs!

AW she is a cutie.. I hope things work out.. They Play alot like Kerian and Blaze.. It will take time I believe we have Kerian for about 6 months and every once in a while I see some issues.

Good luck she is really very pretty and I am sure Brewer will enjoy have a BFF.

Fiona is defintely giving us a great opportunity to see what life is like with two dogs. Not to mention, seeing how Brewer reacts to a new dog in the house. Aside from the occasional rough play, they have been getting along quite well. Fiona has a long ways to go with obedience, but she is slowly picking up on Brewer's behavior...which is fun to see.

There has been some interest in her, so we aren't sure how much longer she has until she is officially adopted. Nevertheless, this has proven to be an extremely valuable expereince for us...and the furball!

Awww! Thank you SOOO Much for fostering, especially short term for so many other dogs - it's so needed in the rescue world! How fun!!! Smile It looks like they're getting along, I love how the older huskies teach the younger ones! Smile We've had very short term huskies here a few times - I called them the "bonus huskies". LOL

Given how much MUSHR helped us out with Brewer over the course of the first year, fostering is the least we can do. Plus, it is a lot of fun getting to see a lot of the new rescues and introducing them to Brewer.

Fluff is one of the puppies they took in recently that we would love to foster / adopt, but are schedules aren't very conducive to caring for the needs of a 12 week old:
