TOTALY have to agree with Stormy (as usual) if you can not personally take a dog, please contribute to those that can and will. There will always be risk, taking in strange dogs, at least at 1st, We often do not know temperament, or diseases, you sure do not want to bring in a disease to a breeding kennel with puppies, or an aggressive dog into a kennel situation where you might endanger one of your dogs.
