Inside this issue:

My goal this month is to find one foster home from our newsletter list.

Can you help me reach my goal?

NCRR currently has 7 dogs in the foster program needing new foster homes. I have posted 4 of the 7 below. Their currentfosters cannot keep them much longer due to one reason or the other. We are at a loss of how to find new foster homesfor these dogs. Take a look at them and if you can help foster just one, please email me at ncrottierescue.net
