When Shab decided to start fostering, she welcomed her first foster dog, Holly. Holly was a Northern IFAW dog who ultimately became what is known as a "foster fail" and was adopted by Shab. Shab loved the temperaments of the Northern dogs and more than one year later was ready to try fostering again. One look at 4-month-old Piper was all it took and Shab ultimately "failed" again! Having run out of space at home for more dogs, she still wanted to help dogs in need and has now joined Hopeful Tails as a Fundraising/Events Coordinator.
