Foster pets are a fantastic opportunity to provide love and care for a lonely furry friend until they find their "fur-ever" home.

Fostering entails taking in a dog or cat that you think may fit in well at your house and taking care of them until they are adopted. We have a private Facebook volunteer page that you will be added to once you’re approved as a foster/volunteer, where you will see all pets available to foster. Only want to foster puppies? No problem. Only non-shedding dogs? We have a need for everything! We provide whatever supplies you need (food, beds, kennels, leash, collar, toys) and pay for all of the vetting (we just ask that you get the dog or can to an appointment that works for your schedule).

The Almost Home Canine Rescue team relies on its foster families to help give pets the best chance to succeed in a new home.

There are adorable puppies and kittens with Almost Home Canine Rescue looking for a foster home.

The best part? Almost Home Canine Rescue will cover ALL EXPENSES. All you need to do is give them love and shelter.

Free cuddles and cuteness are on the line if you become a foster family!

If you fall in love with your foster friend from the Almost Home Canine Rescue, you can have the first option to adopt them before they are available to the public! All fostering needs and applications can be found here.

The 10 Most Redneck Towns in South Dakota

Are you a 'Redneck?' I guess to some people, all of us in South Dakota are rednecks.

If we use the Jeff Foxworthy Scale of Redneckeness, I have, in fact, been too drunk to fish. So by definition, I am a redneck. And so are many people I know.

Not that being from the country is a bad thing, and it can be fun to poke fun at ourselves.

With that in mind, we found that the folks at RoadSnacks put together a list that claims 'These Are The 10 Most Redneck Cities In South Dakota.'

What is a Redneck?

The dictionary says that a redneck is someone "...who lives in a small town or in the country, especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive."

Well, a few things. First, South Dakota isn't THAT kind of 'south.' We're to the south of North Dakota, but to the north of 'The South.'

Plus that definition sounds awful mean and serious. I thought we were having fun here.

RoadSnacks leaned into the funny, Jeff Foxworthy-based version of a redneck. Then they rounded up select data on places in SD to determine their rankings. RoadSnacks Redneck Criteria:
