Diane when I wrote the post about hoarders I was not referring to the dogs that you are currently working with, rather the one in New Mexico that had 3 dogs and 20 odd cats/kittens. I have done rescue, and have donated plenty of $$$$ to them as well as Dawns group. I have fostered over 80 rescue GSD's and currently foster mama cats with kittens. I have been referred too as a hoarder because of the numbers of animals. I also have horses and raise meat goats. I'm sorry if you thought I was making fun of what you do.
