The best? time of year...

Summer is in full swing - hot and sunny and gorgeous weather (I am really NOT a winter person!) but even glorious summer has it's downside.

The biggest? The fact that most of the world takes their holidays in the summer.

That's a tough thing to do if you are a foster home - creatures need to be shuffled temporarily - but it is doable.
The other aspect - people who have been thinking about "getting rid of" their animals now have a date - it is always easier for the humans to move the animals before they go off to enjoy themselves on vacation.

Personally I think summer is a wonderful time to adopt. If you are home on vacation, it gives you and your new friend time to get used to each other and lets you bond before you are back to your normal work routines.

If you have kids, they are home now and can be fully part of the process before school comes and those routines start up again.

Adoptions are very slow this time of year, and the need is great. If you are thinking about adopting - please consider a summer romance that will last a lifetime. A new friend may be waiting patiently for you right now!

Have a great summer,
