Having survived our dog sitting assignment with Dashiell, we were offered our first foster dog, Silver Girl from the Modesto Shelter. A volunteer from BAPR was alerted to this dog. It turned out that the dog had a microchip. The microchip was registered with a puppy mill in Minnesota. She had been shipped out to a Pet Store in the Central Valley where she had been sold. The BAPR volunteer visited the Pet Store, but they had not kept accurate records. The volunteer also went to other shelters in the area to see if anyone had announced a missing dog which fit Silver Girl's description.
No one claimed this dog, so we offered to foster her. When I first saw her photo, I said "What an ugly dog", but then I realized that even ugly dogs deserve to be rescued. The volunteer drove her to Tracy, where our transport volunteer picked up the dog, and we drove to the East Bay to meet him at a park. The dog was passed through the car window and we had our first foster dog.
