text: Bolton, MA - The International Golf Club was the venue for Ellen and Gianni's early Autumn wedding. Looking through these photos there are a lot of fun moments. Everyone was in a great mood and really set a great tone for us to photograph this wedding. It was supposed to rain at some point that day, so we were preoccupied with the weather forecasts until the ceremony started. That's when it actually started raining, pretty much right as the bride was walking down the aisle. Definitely one of those "nothing we can do now" type of moment. The minister moved the ceremony along as fast as possible, and we all made it out before any downpours. In fact, we still were able take care of portraits outside, which was completely awesome. The light was beautiful that time of day and Kate Parker and the entire IGC staff prepared a timeline that allowed for the bride and groom to experience all that the grounds have to offer. As for the wedding reception, I've never seen people laugh so much. The bride and groom, wedding party, guests; all were having so much fun all night. It made our job so easy and so much fun.

Kindred's 2010 earnings outlook improves
Kindred Healthcare Inc. has raised its earnings guidance for continuing operations for 2010.
The long-term care company expects consolidation revenues for the year to approximate $4.3 billion. It expects operating income, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, to range from $569 million to $574 million.
"The fourth quarter of 2010 will present a number of operational challenges, including significant Medicare reimbursement changes in our nursing center and Peoplefirst rehabilitation businesses," Kindred President and CEO Paul J. Diaz said.
Kindred's rehabilitation and nursing admissions increased 9% over last year. The company said its overall results for the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30, was the result of "effective cost controls across the organization."

We have rows of cookbooks in our house. They overwhelm one kitchen counter top and occupy several shelves in the the pantry. Many of them are so clean they glisten in the light. But our favorites are the dirty cookbooks. The ones with smudges, stains, even occasional burn marks on them. These are the ones that get used. They aren't preserved for state occasions. They are pulled out for big-deal dinners and for weeknight fare.
The stains on the books are telling. The pages of Marcella Hazan's "Classic Italian Cooking," are dabbled with olive oil. Marcella can't cook without olive oil, and lectures her readers on the importance of using only the top grade stuff. So every time my wife and I cook something from this cookbook, whether it is grilled fish or meatballs, we pour the olive oil. Inevitably, some of it spatters.
There are chocolate stains on Maida Heatter's "Book of Great Desserts." Perhaps there are some cooks who can remains disciplined and neat when chocolate melts and tortes appear. But not us. We get excited.

Cloudflare has built the next generation Content Delivery Network. The platform was designed and built to integrate emerging technologies to ensure customers receive the most advanced protocols on the web; today and tomorrow.
The Cloudflare CDN
Cloudflare caches your content across our global network, bringing it closer to visitors from every region.
Technology Built for Modern Cloud Computing
Cloudflare has designed its CDN without the legacy of the last 15 years. The proprietary technology was built to continuously adapt and integrate emerging technologies to meet future needs of everyone's Internet properties.
Setting Up Our Data Centers to Scale
Cloudflare deploys smaller footprints in more locations. This allows them to take advantage of innovative deployment, power, and cooling strategies. As a result, they have been able to optimize the processing of high volumes of traffic through their network.
Cloudflare's global Anycast network powers our DNS and other services. With Anycast, multiple machines can share the same IP address. When a request is sent to an Anycast IP address, routers will direct it to the machine on the network that is closest.
Anycast allows us to save significant network latency while creating an extremely resilient network. The nature of Cloudflare's Anycast network is that we inherently increase the surface area to absorb such an attack. A distributed botnet will have a portion of its denial of service traffic absorbed by each of our points-of-presence.
With built-in load balancing and automatic failover, the Cloudflare network has been designed to withstand losing 50% of the network without impacting service availability.
Cloud Web Application Firewall
Cloudflare's enterprise-class web application firewall (WAF) protects your Internet property from common vulnerabilities like SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and cross-site forgery requests with no changes to your existing infrastructure.
Automatic WAF Updates
Cloudflare security engineers constantly monitor the Internet for new vulnerabilities. When they find threats that apply to a large portion of users, they automatically apply WAF rules to protect their Internet properties.
On-premise firewalls quickly become outdated and require professional service hours to regularly update rules to protect against new threats. Cloudflare's WAF helps you stay ahead of threats by automatically updating when new security vulnerabilities are released.
Collective Intelligence
Cloudflare sees roughly 2.9 million requests every second, and their WAF is continually identifying and blocking new potential threats. If you're using a web application firewall that doesn't leverage the collective intelligence of other web properties, you need to supply all your own WAF rules from scratch, which means you need to monitor the entire Internet security landscape on your own.
When one customer requests a new custom WAF rule, they analyze whether it applies to all 4,000,000 domains on their network. If it does, they automatically apply that rule to everybody on the network. The more web properties on the network, the stronger the WAF gets, and the safer the Cloudflare community becomes.
Built for Performance
Cloudflare is just as concerned with performance as with security. The web application firewall sits on the same Anycast network that powers the global CDN, HTTP/2, and web optimization features. The WAF rule sets result in latency of less than 1 millisecond.
PCI Compliance
Utilizing Cloudflare's WAF helps you cost effectively fulfill PCI compliance. If you're a merchant who handles consumer credit card information, PCI DSS 2.0 and 3.0 Requirement 6.6 allows for two options to meet this requirement:
Deploy a WAF in front of your website
Or, conduct application vulnerability security reviews of all of your in-scope web applications
OWASP, Application-Specific, and Custom Rules
Cloudflare's WAF protects your web properties from the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities by default. These OWASP rules are supplemented by 148 built-in WAF rules that you can apply with the click of a button. Business and Enterprise customers can also request custom WAF rules to filter out specific attack traffic.
OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities
- Injection
- Broken authentication and session management
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Insecure direct object references
- Security misconfiguration
- Sensitive data exposure
- Missing function-level access control
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- Using components with known vulnerabilities
- Unvalidated redirects and forwards

The Whole Earth is the True human Body – Dogen Zenji
We've been running wilderness immersion and Nature Based Practice retreats at Ecodharma for many years now. As our work develops we've decided to give time in our program this year to an event guided by facilitators trained in the approach developed by the School of Lost Borders – one of the most highly acclaimed wilderness schools in the United States. This is how they describe the event:
The greater part of the soul lies outside the body. – James Hillman
We used to 'know' our belonging in our bones. As a culture we have grown away from intimacy with the more-than-human world, yet it waits for us. This initiatory journey is an invitation to remember what we deeply belong to, what we have always belonged to.
We used to 'know' our belonging in our bones. As a culture we have grown away from intimacy with the more-than-human world, yet it waits for us. This initiatory journey is an invitation to remember what we deeply belong to, what we have always belonged to.
For much of our story as a people the wider natural word has long been respected as a necessary partner in initiatory journeys or rites of passage. The land offers itself as mirror, as ally, as fertile container in which to draw close to the roots of our life, to what is important and what so easily can be forgotten in the fullness of contemporary life.
This journey will be divided into the three classic phases of a passage rite: Preparation, Threshold and Incorporation.
The first days serve as our preparation as we come together as a community to clarify our intentions. Here we listen to each other's stories of where we find ourselves in life and what brings us here. Specifically, we explore in some depth our intention for this passage rite, what is it in our life that is asking to be honoured or marked through an initiatory journey?
The threshold phase will be a traditional four day and night fast. Each person goes alone into the wilderness (with the support of guides at base camp), without food and minimal external trappings. The threshold time allows for one's intention to be revealed and to be unfolded in the mirror of Nature. It is a time for self-generated ceremony, for becoming intimately receptive to one's life and for experiencing both the challenge and the beauty of taking our place amongst our relations as a simple human animal on this Earth.
The final days are devoted to incorporation. We share the stories of or threshold time and explore its gifts and implications for the life we return to. We sit in 'story council', sharing our stories and having them mirrored back to us by the community, offering the opportunity to see our individual narrative in a wider context. This can be one of the most touching and heartfelt aspects of our time together: being witnessed and affirmed by those who we have come to know intimately.
Other elements we will explore in support of our time together will include:
• The practice of 'Council'
• Shaping and honing of 'intent' as a foundation for threshold experiences
• Exploring the role of contemporary wilderness rites of passage or initiatory journeys in our times, including the challenges to this.
• The four Shields of Human Nature – An Ecopsychologial model of human development.
• The nature of self-generated ceremony and the role of threshold crossing.
• Experientially exploring Nature as mirror and guide
• The role and art of Mirroring for empowerment and community witnessing.
• Physical safety during the Threshold time
We do not go into the desert to escape people but to learn how to find them: we do not leave them in order to have nothing more to do with them, but to find out the way to do them the most good. – Thomas Merton

At Ecodharma we know how important it is to cross-pollinate and collaborate in the creative development of our work. We hope we will learn a lot from this opportunity to see this approach put into practice in the wild and beautiful valley we know as home.

The team:
Rupert Marques has worked within the field of experiential environmental education for the past fifteen years with an emphasis in outdoor education. He trained extensively and subsequently worked as a guide with the School of Lost borders in the U.S. offering contemporary wilderness rites of passage.
A practitioner in the Insight meditation tradition for over 20 years, he is interested in how experiences in wild places can serve to open the mind and remind us of what we belong to. "I am interested in how we come to find our place, our sense of belonging in the times we are living through, how we meet the magnitude of the challenges we face in a manner that calls forth our integrity and even our gratitude."
Rhonda Brandrick (to be confirmed) is a soul centric, nature based guide who facilitates a deepening relationship to nature that encourages inquiry into the mysterious depths of what it means to be fully human. As part of our human development she feels that a move away from ego-centric life and into deeper soul centric practices are crucial if we are to re-member our true indigenous selves. She believes that we cannot mature unless we turn towards the soul of the earth and see our part in the great evolutionary story at the heart of creation.
From her 20 years as a therapist, mediator and teacher she brings a wealth of experience and realness to her work. She has co founded Failand Training which runs a year long certificate in ecopsychology and nature based practices. As Director of Human Nature she has led the development of courses and retreats that bring people into an ever deepening re-connection to nature and themselves. She is currently training with Animas Valley Insitute and Bill Plotkin in becoming a Soulcraft guide.
The Eco-Dharma Centre is situated in a beautiful and wild part of the Catalan Pyrenees. We offer courses, events and retreats which support the realisation of our human potential and the development of an ecological consciousness honouring our mutual belonging within the web of life – drawing on the Buddhist Dharma and the emerging ecological paradigms of our time.

A young mother from Tennessee wanted a better life for her kids — who had been taken into state custody — so she agreed to prostitute herself to make money.
That decision landed the 18-year-old with a pimp in South Florida. After months of living in the shadows, having sex with men for money, she texted a John she trusted to call 911.
Her pimp beat her just before police arrived. He was arrested and investigators with the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office Human Trafficking Task Force helped her find a home and seek counseling.
While this teen's story took a positive turn — she made it back to her home state and is now engaged — not all cases turn out as well, said State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, speaking at the third annual Human Trafficking Forum Tuesday at the University of Miami.
"It's a long road to recovery," she said. " It's our moral and legal responsibility to stop this modern-day slavery, rescue these girls and prosecute their predators."
Currently, about 300 sex trafficking cases are pending in Miami-Dade County.
Among the speakers at the forum: UM President Donna Shalala, Miami-Dade Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and film and video director Gil Green, who spoke about the glamorization of "pimps and hoes" in today's hip-hop.
Shalala said "there is nothing worse on this earth than sex trafficking and it takes a village to combat it." Carvalho has committed school resources to help identify victims.
Human trafficking investigator Emilliano Tamayo said finding shelter space to take the girls once they are rescued is a challenge. In a recent case, an 18-year-old, drugged by her pimp, needed a bed. He said he finally found one in Homestead and had 30 minutes to get there.
"We made it," said Tamayo. "But we need more places to help these girls heal."
In 2012, the state passed tougher laws that increased penalties for offenders. Also in 2012, Rundle started the task force, taking the county from no cases to 150 the state attorney's office has closed.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami, recently announced her support of 12 bills to combat human trafficking throughout the world.
Also on Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced that Rafael Alberto Cadena-Sosa, a Mexican national, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Jose E. Martinez to serve 15 years in prison for participating in a family-run sex trafficking organization based in southern Florida. Another family member, Carmen Cadena pled guilty and faces a maximum sentence of five years.
"The long prison sentence imposed upon Rafael Alberto Cadena-Sosa is a testament to the cooperation and commitment of numerous law enforcement agencies both here and in Mexico to stop this appalling criminal activity," said Special Agent in Charge George L. Piro of the FBI Miami Office in a release. "We will continue working with our partners to dismantle human trafficking networks such as this one that operate in the shadows and brutalize their victims."

"Johnny has a runny nose, so I let him get a tissue, then someone else needs a tissue, and on and on. A student needs to sharpen his pencil, so others try the same trick, and on and on."
When someone asks to go to the bathroom or needs a pencil sharpened or wants a Kleenex, you have to make a big deal of it, drawing everyone's attention to the request. "Stop what you are doing, please, everyone. John needs to have his pencil sharpened. Who else needs a pencil sharpened? John, please collect pencils from these people. Will you know whose is whose? John, you are in charge of sharpening these pencils and returning them correctly to their owners" or "Mary wants to use the bathroom. Who else needs to use the bathroom? All right, Mary you are first. When you return, Mike may go. Following Mike will be Joan" or "Bob needs a Kleenex. Who else needs a Kleenex." The idea is to draw the attention of the entire class and to take time solving the problem. Leisurely is the word.
Long-term substitutes need to pay attention to the curriculum, but short-term substitutes can be more flexible. Having the students write a composition about their day, to be left for the classroom teacher, is a good idea. You can spend time at the beginning of the day explaining that each student will be responsible for a composition, to be left at the end of the day for the classroom teacher. What will the composition contain? . . .
Each student can keep a chart of his or her day: first hour, second hour, third hour, fourth hour, fifth hour.
Plodding is sometimes better than exciting. Students should be given tasks to accomplish at their desks while you are sitting at your desk (or at a table) correcting work, answering questions, and supervising.

The opening of Brownsville Bred takes the form of a mini multi-media presentation, with the text of the eponymous Brooklyn neighborhood's Wikipedia entry scrolling over video images of the Langston Hughes projects. As a device, it's a little contrived, and shows an unjustified lack of trust in the material that follows – which is a rich, poetic, and starkly honest portrayal of growing up in Brownsville in the 1980s.
The woman whose journey into adulthood we witness over the course of the evening is Elaine Del Valle, and even without the text introduction to the play, her performance was expressive enough that she filled in any blanks for those of us unfamiliar with Brownsville — or its reputation. Del Valle expresses a deftness with emotions through her performances, making it possible for the audience to travel with her through a range of experiences representing the life that eventually took this performer out of Brownsville.

Royal Pavilion Brighton
United Kingdom
The Prince of Wales, who later became George IV, first visited Brighton in 1783, at the age of 21. The seaside town had become fashionable through the residence of George's uncle, Prince Henry, Duke of Cumberland, whose tastes for cuisine, gaming, the theatre, and fast living the young prince shared, and with whom he lodged in Brighton at Grove House. In addition, the Prince of Wales was advised by his physician that the seawater would be beneficial for his gout. In 1786, under a financial cloud with investigation by Parliament for the extravagances incurred in building Carlton House, London, the Prince rented a modest erstwhile farmhouse facing the Steine, a grassy area of Brighton used as a promenade by visitors. Remote from the Royal Court in London, the Pavilion was a discreet location for the Prince to enjoy liaisons with his long-time companion, Maria Fitzherbert. The Prince had wished to marry her, and did so in secrecy, as her Roman Catholic religion prohibited his marrying her under the Royal Marriages Act 1772.
In 1787 the Prince commissioned the designer of Carlton House, Henry Holland, to enlarge the existing building. It became one wing of the Marine Pavilion, flanking a central rotunda, which contained three main rooms: a breakfast room, dining room, and library, fitted out in Holland's French-influenced neoclassical style, with decorative paintings by Biagio Rebecca. In 180102 the Pavilion was enlarged with a new dining room and conservatory, to designs of Peter Frederick Robinson, who worked in Holland's office. The Prince also purchased land surrounding the property, on which a grand riding school and stables were built in an Indian style in 180308, to designs by William Porden. These provided stabling for 60 horses and dwarfed the Marine Pavilion.
Between 1815 and 1822 the designer John Nash redesigned and greatly extended the Pavilion, and it is his work that is still visible today. The palace is striking in the middle of Brighton, for its Indo-Islamic exterior is unique. The fanciful interior design, primarily by Frederick Crace and the little-known decorative painter Robert Jones, was heavily influenced by both Chinese and Indian fashion (with Mughal and Islamic architectural elements). It is a prime example of the exoticism that was an alternative to more classicising mainstream taste in the Regency style.

Dragonfly Tile
For over 20 years, Patricia Michaels has been producing one of a kind couture art that represents her deep ties to her Native American roots. Growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she was surrounded by nature, culture and art, which greatly influences her design aesthetic. She spent much of her childhood on the Taos Pueblo where many of her family lived, including her grandparents. It was there that the environment and her elders became her education where she learned to respect and honor the process of working with her hands and heart.

|Soft, chewy cookies that just melt in the mouth
|Cut and ready to be baked
|The ones sprinkled with brown sugar and choco chip
- The milk isn't included in the original recipe but then I noticed that the first batch of dough I made was very dry and the cookies were really hard when they were baked. So I added some milk to this and I got amazingly soft cookies in the end.
- Since my first batch of cookies didn't turn out that well, I rested the dough in the fridge for two hours and then proceeded. This step worked for me too.
- The small cookies were done in an average of 6 minutes while the bigger ones took about 12 minutes.

Maiden Flight Stories
WELL WELL WELL... We have an official flying aircraft. We spent the first hour doing the static test and getting the propeller blades pitched correctly. The tachometer needs to be 5200 rpm at full throttle. We settled at 5400 because we have been bouncing back and forth around that so we figured that was close enough.
Dave Overman, CFI from Seattle, came down to fly off our first few hours. He did an excellent job, and is an excellent instructor and an asset to the Gyro / Aviation community. Dave took it out for a high speed taxi down the runway, he brought it back and we re-inspected it. Then we added a couple of zip ties that Gary Kaminski had noticed were needed. Oh yea, I didn't tell you about him yet. Gary has a yellow RAF that has been modified with Jim Vaneks blades and a proto type rotor system that Vanek made. Plus, it has a rather large stab. He belongs to the club and I've been keeping him updated as of our progress so he flew in from Aurora. He's based at Linhearts. Gary followed Dave around for the first hour checking things from the air and taking some really cool pictures.
So anyway, after the preflight Dave took it out for a crow hop down the runway. It really wanted to climb, he was about 70 feet before he knew it and was easing it back down for a landing at the end of the runway. We did another preflight then he took it and did a right hand pattern for 16 so he could stay over the fields. That went very smooth so he came back for another preflight then he took off with Gary following. They "bored some holes in the sky" for about 40 minutes. He then came back and took it up for another hour. Total time today 2.5 hours! The only adjustment that we had to make was to tighten the pre-rotator cable. It was slightly loose so he wasn't getting the pre-rotation speed we should have been getting. That adjustment fixed it. It ran great. Sounded good and Dave was real impressed with the 2.5. He said that when he took off and climbed out he had to reduce power because he had plenty spare keeping the climb to about 1000ft per minute.

You hate the US Postal Service for no good reason
The post office is more than a bunch of buildings — it's a community center and, for many towns, an essential part of the local identity, as well as a tangible link to the rest of the nation. As former Sen. Jennings Randolph poignantly observed, "When the local post office is closed, the flag comes down." The corporatizer crowd doesn't grasp that going after this particular government program is messing with the human connection and genuine affection that it engenders.
I don't like waiting in line either, but people that really hate the USPS drive me bonkers. As if that 45¢ first-class stamp isn't a screaming deal.
Still, time marches on. And while mail is definitely not cool, it is gnarly! Ooh, another Daily Show video!
Am I doing it wrong?
Comments? I don't do open comments. Life is too short.

Assess the level of aflatoxin in cereals and milk consumed in Burkina Faso
National Laboratory of Public Health/Ministry of Health
The overall goal of this project is to use breeding and outreach to enhance the production, quality and marketability of peanut in PMIL target countries. The proposed research focuses on intensifying peanut production and enhancing quality by developing and improving high yielding varieties, including the release of new cultivars and the development of culturally preferred cultivars, through existing and established breeding programs.
Feed the Future Innovation Lab on Peanut Productivity and Mycotoxin Control, University of Georgia
Evaluation of the level of contamination of the sorghum produced in the regions of western Burkina Faso by aflatoxins: Sorghum is a cereal used as food in Burkina Faso. The results obtained in the laboratory, it appears that aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and) are present in 25.7% of samples at levels ranging from 11.67 to 207.31 mg / kg. The surveys show that the farming practices favorable to contamination by toxigenic molds factors are: the late harvest, drying practices without forgetting the agro-climatic conditions in the field. To this end, producer awareness on the issue of mycotoxins and their impact is more than urgent.

Arguments can be made either way in regards to renting an apartment in Raleigh, NC or buying a new home. It is a decision that's often based on what type of person you are and where you want to live.
Here are the top 10 reason to rent:
- There's more spontaneous freedom with renting. Whether you want to relocate for a job, a relationship or for no reason at all, renting provides more flexibility.
- Attempting to sell a house can be complicated and time consuming. Whether you have a year lease the logistics of renting are less confusing.
- Are you the type of person who hates mowing the lawn or shoveling snow? A landlord provides these services.
- As a homeowner, you're responsible for snow removal and lawn care and everything else. Whether it's a broken hot water heater or a broken dishwasher. When you rent, you're not responsible for maintenance costs, just call the landlord.
- Many apartments have so many apartment amenities they seem more like an all-inclusive resort. From tennis courts and swimming pools to fitness centers and children's playgrounds, many renters have these amenities on location. Most affordable homes do not.
- In addition to monthly mortgage and maintenance costs, homeowners also have property taxes. These taxes fluctuate depending on where you live. No property tax means more money in the bank, or at least more money in your pocket to do the things you want to do.
- Do you want to live in a luxurious neighborhood? You have a better chance of affording rent in a posh neighborhood than you do of buying a house.
- Some apartment communities offer referral bonuses of some kind.
- There are often numerous apartments in an apartment building, and this increases your chances of meeting new people and making friends.
- Many apartment communities are gated and have their own security and video surveillance. This will give you peace of mind, and save you from having to buy a high-end security system.
Why do you like to rent? Let us know in the comments below!

Foster Program
It is very important for the success of the dog and his new family that dogs completing our behavior development program have exposure to 'typical' home and family experiences. We provide a limited amount of "in-home" exposure at Pets Return Home. We test and coach for good food manners, crate training and possessive aggression. The most important social interaction and training comes from being in a foster home.
We provide foster opportunities for these homeless and damaged dogs that last TWO weeks to several months depending upon the dog's need. We provide training and food during the initial foster term. Once the dogs are achieve adoption-ready status they are returned to the sponsoring rescue (or individual) for placement through their organization.
Foster Program Information
Pets Return Home began its foster care program in May 2013. Since then, the program has saved many dogs whose only outcome was death. The Foster Parent Program plays an integral part in Pets Return Home's ability to save hundreds of lives per year and build as many families each year. Without fosters, these behaviorally challenged dogs would not learn how to love, be loved and behave within a family home.
Most of the dogs at Pets Return Home come from animal control facilities, aka pounds or shelters. Many were on the euthanasia-list, slated for death due to being 'unadoptable'. Our experience shows these dogs are victims of human abuse, neglect and ignorance. The life-deciding assessment of being put to death typically takes place in a stressful shelter environment in as little as five minutes. Very few of the dogs that come here are human or dog aggressive. They are mostly afraid.
We receive these dogs from animal rescue organizations, sponsors or shelters directly. We assess and define a formal training plan for the dog to ensure family adaptability. Our intent is to receive only kill-list and behaviorally challenged canines into our program. By taking these "unadoptable" dogs, we provide a means for the rescues & shelters to maximize their life-saving and foster-parent capacity.
Our facility provides behavior development and refinement, exercise therapy and dog-to-dog socializing. These provide the foundation for the dog to learn the appropriate and safe behavior to be a loving companion within a family. The next and most crucial step in reforming these dogs is foster parent care in a family and home setting. Pets Return Home has different foster programs to prepare our dogs for a new life.
How the Program Works
Our foster program is atypical in that we have clearly defined levels of foster care based upon the dog's behavior patterns. This is because the dogs that come to us are in dire need of 'resetting', specific socializing, and developing trust and confidence. We identify specific behavior issues, work with the dogs on energy release, dog-to-dog socializing, food issues, house manners and some command language. The first stage of foster care for a dog is the Foster-Assess Program.
Foster–Assess Program
We provide the necessary training to foster families wishing to foster our dogs in this program. This program lasts from one to four weeks and is primarily behavior reinforcement and assessment.
The primary goal of this program is to measure and assess the dog's performance as a companion pet within a foster home. The foster-parent works with the dog on command language and house manners. The foster-parent sends daily reports to Pets Return Home so we can assess the progress and offer specific guidance.
This program is the dog's final exam from our behavioral development program. It is the most important aspect of the overall program. It helps determine whether the dog is ready for public interaction, if further training is required, delivers valuable canine insight to the foster-parent and provides a safe learning environment for the dog.
Transitional Foster Program
When the dog has proven her capability to live within a family appropriately, we enroll her in the Transitional Foster Program. This program provides the reinforcement of family companion status for the dog. It increases the opportunity for human and canine socializing and exposure to possible adoptive families.The dog is ready for adoption at this point. This program duration typically lasts one to two months.
Rehabilitative Foster Program
Some dogs are so "damaged" they need long-term family care to develop confidence, trust and learn how to be a companion. These dogs may be fearful, shy or old and require more attention-giving environments. We work with rehabilitative foster program foster-parents one on one to ensure the dog is making progress and the parents do not experience burnout. Sometimes rotating the dog from different homes over many months is beneficial and leads to permanent adoption and life.
Types of Dogs in need of Fostering at Pets Return Home
- Neglected, stressed or abused dogs who have completed Pets Return Home's program
- Dogs that require more human socializing than available at Pets Return Home
- Dogs with special medical needs
- Injured or recovering from surgery
- Older dogs that will be more comfortable in a home environment
- Puppies too young and/or immature to be adopted
- Abandoned mothers with litters of puppies

Sterilization (Spay/Neuter) Policy
Any family adopting or fostering a dog from or for Pets Return Home must understand that we have specific guidelines for successful adoption or fostering. To qualify for adoption or foster, an applicant must complete and pass an application review and have a household with sterilized dogs only.
Statistically, 50% of all dogs, purebred and mixed-breed arriving in shelters are killed. This does not count the number of dogs that are killed upon arrival to a shelter because of injury, aggression or illness. Shelters cannot handle the influx of dogs they see daily. Animal rescue organizations (ARO's) do their best to help pull healthy dogs and rehome them to responsible, stable and loving homes. The only way to stop the number of dogs euthanized killed is to educate the public about the importance of sterilizing their dogs and to stop careless breeding.
One of Pets Return Home's goals is to inform and educate the public in the overpopulation crisis. Pets Return Home stands firm on requiring sterilization of all dogs in the potential adoption or foster household before we approve an adoption or foster care situation.
Some people are unaware of the unwanted overpopulation crisis we are experiencing due to unaltered dogs. Others may feel they are responsible, will not breed their pet, or prefer to keep their dog in a 'natural' state.
We ascertain the reason(s) a potential adopter or foster has a non-sterilized dog. If it is within our guidelines, we will discuss the situation, determine if there are verifiable and justifiable reasons and approve the home for adoption or foster status based upon our findings. Some of the common exceptions to our guidelines include:
- The dog is AKC registered and being actively shown for their championship
- Pets Return Home will respect the owner's right to breed a dog only if the dog has obtained its AKC championship and the person is a responsible breeder who breeds to 'better the breed' and who does not over-breed.
- The dog has health issues where sterilization is not recommended.
- The dog is too young (< 6 months) to be neutered.
We hear many people say they do not spay or neuter their pet for many reasons. Spaying and neutering does not make an animal gain weight or lazy. Once sterilization occurs, hormones decrease and the dog becomes calmer. By maintaining a consistent and challenging exercise program, all dogs hold a healthy weight and attitude. Males become more tolerant, reduce their aggressive episodes and have very little desire to roam. Spaying and neutering greatly reduces the risk of cancer in the female, (uterine and mammary) as well as pyometra, a serious infection of the uterus, and in the male greatly reduces the chance of testicular cancer. The younger the dog is neutered the lower the risk of these diseases.
Please understand that our goal is to adopt or foster all dogs to or in homes that support the importance of breaking the cycle of unwanted pets. Adopting or fostering a dog with us not only carries the responsibility of doing the best for the dog, but also joining a community of people committed to reducing the unnecessary killing of healthy adoptable dogs.
If there is any doubt to the overpopulation issue, a visit to any shelter should be sufficient to educate the overpopulation crisis problem we face. Ask the shelter how many dogs come in daily and how many dogs are killed weekly.
This experience will increase your awareness of the problem we face as moral individuals respecting all life.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are dogs in foster homes?
It completely depends upon the dog and the situation. We try to expedite the foster-assess candidates and foster time can be as little as two weeks. More typically it is three to four weeks. For the transitional program the the average stay in a foster home is about two months. However, most puppies and some dogs with great photos and stories on the web may stay only a few weeks. Others, recovering from an injury, certain breeds and senior dogs, may stay much longer.
If I have my own animals, can I foster dogs?
Yes, so long as all animals cohabiting with the foster dog have passed a meet-&-greet test..
What supplies do I need to foster?
Dog foster-parents provide space, food*, basic training, exercise, socialization, and love for the dog. Pets Return Home will provide you with all the other supplies and equipment needed throughout your foster experience. Pets Return Home receives donated items regularly and donations pay for vet care and medicine.
How much time will I spend each day to foster?
Commitment and responsibilities depend upon the individual dog and situation. Many of the dogs at Pets Return Home are "adolescent" dogs between the age of 6 months and 2 years. They typically have a lot of energy and require daily exercise. This is in addition to helping them become familiar with home living. Older dogs may only need a morning and evening stroll. You are always welcome to bring the dog to the ranch for visits, swimming, hiking etc.
Dog foster-parents must be willing to be patient and commit to the dog because our goal is to keep them in a stable and consistent environment until they are ready for adoption.
Do I need to have prior medical knowledge or expertise?
No, but you may be asked to dispense medicine to the foster dog so you will have to be comfortable following veterinarian's instructions if fostering a sick or injured dog.
Do I have to crate-train my foster dog?
YES! It is one of the most efficient and effective ways to house train a puppy or re- train an adult dog. A dog coming from Pets Return Home has already learned that a crate is her safe place, her den. Putting the dog in a crate while you are gone will give you peace of mind knowing that they are in a safe place, away from harm, and not doing any damage to your belongings or themselves. For many dogs, a crate represents a safe and comfortable place to call their own and provides them with a sense of security. Dogs like having a "den" to be their own safe zone. Crating should never be used as punishment.
What if my foster dog becomes sick?
The foster dog's sponsor or Pets Return Home pays all veterinary costs through sponsors and donations. If a foster dog becomes sick, dog foster-parents must call Pets Return Home immediately. Pets Return Home will authorize a vet visit, or advise otherwise. Once a veterinary visit is authorized, you can make an appointment with one of the approved veterinarians. There is no cost to dog foster-parents.
Can I take my foster dog to an off-leash dog park for exercise and socializing?
NO!No dog from Pets Return Home is to be taken to an off-leash dog park. While these parks can be fun for some dogs, there are far too many unknowns for it to be a safe and healthy experience for a foster dog. Diseases are easily transmittable and the temperaments of visiting dogs are unknown, thus creating a huge liability to Pets Return Home.
