Foster Homes Urgently Needed for Homeless Dogs and Cats

Is that the same Buster, who was accused of biting someone in the Oct 18th posting, Bit by Adoption Agency Dog ?

Oh just stop. I am fully aware of Laurie's reputation around here but seriously, these guys deserve a home, don't they? I heart Buster, Petal, WILLARD and Linus and would take them in if I could. There was a big fire in the Bronx at a pet store tonight where many animals were destroyed. Lets just support the people who are trying to save them. Seriously there are no pit bulls biting people on a public web site and regardless of what you think of Laurie and BAFN, this might be the best forum for what she is trying to do.

I asked a simple question about a dog that a poster claimed bit him and the organization offered him $35.00 for the pants that were torn, is it wrong to inquire about a dog that might bite someone who adopts it.

voodoo, much as i hate to get back into the fray...
if people stop getting animals from BAFN, it will have the same effect we're trying to have on places like pup slope: the puppies and kittens there need loving homes too, but by *not* buying them we send the message that the way they got there isn't okay.
i don't believe the way BAFN conducts itself is right, and their continued presence on this board, as it's been, confirms that belief.
this is just my opinion. -
Brooklynpotter, yes you should let sleeping dogs lie. Do you think by putting BAFN out of business that some other rescue group will pick up the slack? Will you sleep better at night knowing you were instrumental in forming an effective boycott that caused BAFN to simply release all of their animals back on the street? I can't believe you would compare a store that sells puppies in the window to people who in all probability live in abject poverty because of the work they do for unwanted animals.
-
i guarantee you those animals won't end up being let loose on the street.
and if you *choose* to live in poverty so you can save animals, that's just ridiculous. i'm not saying poverty is something most people choose, but that statement's a little sweeping. somewhere there has to be a line drawn between humans and pets (and trust me, i don't know that i could love my cat any more than if i'd given birth to her myself), but i do understand the difference. -
Potter, I hear you. And I am not in any way defending Laurie's actions on this board which were completely counter-productive to her cause. Only defending the right of these guys to find a safe and loving home. But I do see your point.

Subject: I have know BAFN and Laurie Bleier for 10 years
I am appalled at the total lack of disregard of the animals that urgently need homes you people (especially the woman (?) with her index finger pointing to any child who might come upon this post) have shown.
It is 28 degrees out and there are litterally thousands of homeless creatures in Brooklyn and that you would even contemplate ruining the possibility of a home for one of them is heartless.
The man who started the post about Buster biting him is the very man who created an obviously anti dog site http://credo-ny.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
He has claimed to be bitten in every borough. You just took his false claims and ran with them for days. Did even one of you bother to meet Laurie at one of her adoption events. No I didnt think so.
Do you have any idea how many animals Laurie has placed in the four years she has directed Brooklyn Animal Foster Network. More than 2000!
I called her about this page and she said dont do anything it just makes them more vicious.
But I will anyway. You people are disgraceful. Im embarrased to be on the same page with you. -

gee,another first time poster friend of BAFN
1: i am a woman. likely twice your age and obviously twice as well educated.
2: it's my middle finger, not my index finger, and the picture was taken when i was 14.
3: nobody said this site was SFW, or children
4: i have rescued plenty of cats in my time, including my own.
let's please stop twisting around the whole point: we all love animals, we all want to save animals, some people who do so are irresponsible and they make other foster networks look bad.
perhaps all the friends of BAFN who keep coming here to blast all of us should take their energy and go find homes for more animals. that's really how to do the most amount of good. -
Can we all focus on the dogs and other animals that need help. One look at the stickies here on this board and you can tell there's an urgent need for good homes. Let's not derail the thread folks, as much fun as it can be (haha! I know ya'll!)
Let's spread the word around our friends and family that there are good pets just waiting for a warm home. Hint, hint, I have senor don gato that's available
