After working on yesterday's posting about fostering dogs, I looked back through my mail folder and found these. They are the emails we exchanged with our volunteer rescue group, WeCare4Paws, about "Fritz"-- who went on to become our Pappy. This is probably pretty boring for anybody else, but I still get a little thrill thinking back on this exchange.

We are interested in the terrier named Fritz in Petfinder. We would love to know how to get more information about him and whether it is possible to visit.
How should we proceed?
Thanks,
Me

Hi Me,
Thanks for expressing an interest in adopting one of our rescue dogs. My name is V, President, We CARE-4-Paws. We are partnered with Last Chance Animal Rescue (LCAR) who rescues most of our furry friends and is responsible for their health and welfare, to include ensuring our cats are safely delivery to PETsMART Charities Adoption Centers from Maryland to Northern Virginia as well as our dogs that are cared for in one of our awesome foster homes.
We encourage you to visit our websites www.lastchanceanimalrescue.org and www.wecare4paws.org which provides information about our two awesome groups who have partnered to form a powerhouse to help our furry friends. Together we are making a real difference!
As for Fritz, he is a long legged Benji. He is sweet as can be, energetic, not a mean bone in his body. He is about a year old, crate trained.
Fritz is in one of our foster homes, but an appointment can be scheduled for viewing and adoption at:
PETsMART Charities Adoption Center
24 Mountain Rd
Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061
Please let us know if you have any other question or would like to schedule an appointment.
Thanks for considering to adopt a rescued dog.
V

If there is any possibility of meeting Fritz this weekend, we'd be delighted to make the trip. Is the foster family available for something on that short notice?
Thanks,
Me

Anytime Saturday would be great. We're up early, and could be out there by 10AM if that suits the fosters.
Thanks,
Me

We will meet you at (10:00 a.m.) PETsMART Mountain Rd just inside the entrance on the left side by the groomers.
Fritz is anxious to meet you both...he even asked us to give him a bath! We think you will like him as much as we do...he loves to play and we have not even heard him bark, not even once!

Funny how he never asks us to give him a bath. The rest, as they say, is history.
