A Special Thanks to Our Fosterers
This is a particularly interesting time for me concerning all things CHRS. I am involved in preparations for our celebratory spring picnic, which means that I have CHRS on my mind a good deal of the time.
Yesterday was yet another day of preparation for the picnic. More importantly, Rupert, Terri and Jeremy Cook's foster rabbit, met Umlaut, a darling Lionhead from Cleveland. Umlaut recently lost her friend and Rupert appears to be an ideal candidate for her new friend.
I didn't stick around for the bonding but apparently things look promising and Rupert is now in Cleveland. This got me to thinking about the expectations we have for our fosterers.
Terri and Jeremy have been fostering for years. Interesting historical fact: they were the first HRS fosterers in Columbus after Karalee and Chuck and before CHRS even existed. They have given sanctuary to a number of rabbits through the years and have unselfishly wished them well in their new homes.
We expect our fosterers to provide the same love and care to our fosters that they give to their own rabbits. Yet we also expect them to relinquish these rabbits to someone else in the hope that these beloved foster rabbits will finally have a forever home.
We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Terri, Jeremy, and our other fosterers!
