When a dog foster adopts their pup, they’re called a foster failure. Karen E. fell in love with her dog, Katie, and became a foster failure in just two days. Katie, a shepherd/husky mix, was brought to the 12 Hills Dog Rescue in Nebraska when she was a puppy. Karen recalled, “She was startled by some noises at first, but I see healing. It is remarkable. She’s been the most wonderful blessing and is so sweet.”
Karen is a volunteer at 12 Hills and one of their two fosters. She explained, “They just want love; they want someone to touch them. It’s been the most wonderful joy of my life. I look forward to seeing my friends when I’m here.”
Karen and her husband, Bob, live on a farm in Wayne, Nebraska, where one-year-old Katie runs through the cornfields each morning. She told us, “Katie found me – I’m convinced of that.”
12 Hills receives animal care supplies through the Reservation Animal Rescue® (RAR) program of Partnership With Native Americans® (PWNA). The supplies help the dog rescue operate and are given to foster and adopters like Karen, who expressed her gratitude by saying, “It’s very overwhelming to receive those kinds of things and that someone would be generous like that. The food is probably the main thing, and the cleaning supplies – antibacterial wipes and hand cleaner. The toys are wonderful.”
Our Program Partner at 12 Hills, Nola B., also expressed her gratitude: “We want to thank the donors. The disinfectants, wipes, paper towels, toys, leashes, collars—not only do we use them here at the rescue, but we also give them to people who adopt, and we give the training pads to everybody who has puppies.”
12 Hills is currently at capacity. Nola explained, “We’re trying to get our numbers back down, but it’s very difficult because no one is adopting right now. We have people calling from other states to surrender their dogs because we’re the only no-kill shelter around.”
There are 19 million pets living in underserved communities in the U.S. On remote reservations, families love their pets as much as anyone but face challenges with access to veterinary care, spay/neuter providers, and other services most Americans take for granted. Program Partners like Nola depend on RAR donors for resources to help vulnerable animals in need. Donate to RAR today.
