In this milestone episode, Jenny and Ashlyn lament the challenges of onboarding fosters who just want to "save a dog" but then aren't prepared for the common realities of fostering. They share the "bare minimum" care expected from fosters, plus what makes a foster stand out. Plus, meet four dogs who have been in the rescue the longest: Kimber, Freya, Buttercup, and Copper, with a tough potential decision for one of them. Finally, they dive into the 'Crazy Folder' featuring a disheveled lawyer trying to surrender her "purebred Goberian."

Stay tuned after the outro for hilarious bloopers.
