I hope that the City of Wood Dale will make an exception for these dogs due to their age, health status and limited activity. It seems that the major complaints arose when additional foster dogs were suddenly returned and then developed health issues that prevented their immediate transfer to other foster situations. All shelters and rescues have faced emergency housing issues. A good shelter or rescue works hard to provide medical care for incoming animals, and when healthy, move them to appropriate foster care. It appears that Lisa Spakowski and Illinois Birddog Rescue did this as quickly as possible. Since these additional dogs have now been moved to other foster care, or adopted, I hope that the remaining dogs that do not have a chance for adoption due to age and health status, can remain with Lisa and in her rescue's care.
