The THU Virtual Foster program enables me to give a little each month without claiming responsibility for a dog I can’t have right now. It’s great to see the social media updates of the virtual foster pups. It makes me feel like I’m doing something to help people who are trying to end the dog overpopulation and stray problem we have in Taos. Thank you for making it easy for me to contribute without feeling guilty that I’m not out catching dogs. Keep doing what you’re doing!
