Name: Lisa Ramig
How long have you been fostering? 2 Years in August, 2010 for GHS.
Who do your normally foster and why? Although my passion is senior dogs and of course Dachshunds – I have had many types and size dogs through my house, and a few kitties, too.
Who was your favorite/most memorable foster and why? 3 Dachshunds stand out: One female I had to fight with animal control to get her out – she was aggressive and they wanted to put her down without giving her a
chance, she turned out to be a wonderful little girl. Of course, Tybee was very precious to me, and I hoped we would be able to save him. Lets NOT forget Pippi (see right), everyone thought she would be my new dog, terrible infections, no hair, wow, what a home she got and the progress she continues to make………..AND, I adore Tucker known to us as Poodle Doodle. Dumped at AC by horrible people because “he was old and had cataracts.”What have you learned by fostering? It is our goal as a Humane Society and as human beings to eliminate unnecessary euthanasia and prevent pet overpopulation through spaying and neutering. If more people would step up to help in caring for these animals, we could save more!
If you could say one thing to the world, what would it be?
To convince people to rescue and adopt instead of buying or selling animals and to disavow the language and concept of animal ownership.
Lisa's Favorite Quote: “Don’t litter spay and neuter your critter.”
