Linda began her 11 years and counting of intense fostering when her children left the nest. Then when her son went to Iraq it was the only way she felt she could keep her promise to him that she would be okay. ( He returned safely) Last year she made a big move from a loft in the city to the suburbs after years of getting on the elevator with at least 4 and often more dogs 4 times a day! It’s been largely a case of Pit bulls and/or Chihuahuas and sometimes the chi’s intimidate the pits. ” I feel that my own dogs train the puppies and many of the dogs as they start to trust a family- that makes it great for me, cause I get to just pamper and teach them that humans need not always be feared. We love mange dogs, deafies and any dogs with handicaps but truth is we love them all.”
Her God child Destiny helps now that she is older and responsible enough to follow through on many many details that are part of this. Destiny’s principal and her teachers all keep close tabs on the various dogs that she lives with on weekends, summers and vacations
