<p>We know that sometimes we are seeing dogs in very difficult and sad situations. It can be challenging to deal with feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness, or not place judgment upon the guardians of these dogs. Please remember the fence is not the end of our contact with the family—FFF never just walks away, and sometimes what we are seeing is not the whole story.</p><p>This is just the beginning of our relationship with the family and it can be very sensitive, especially on the day of the build. With all the commotion, families experience a wide range of emotions and they handle it in all different ways, so we want to be sure that any communication with the family is positive and friendly. By welcoming the family into our day, we are securing that long-term relationship with the family, which is truly in the best interest of all the dogs we help.</p>
