But I had a certain amount of trust in her because we’ve become really close. "My saying through this whole process has been if you can't adopt, then foster, if you can't foster, then donate, if you can't donate, then volunteer because there are so many ways that you can get involved with animal rescue and it doesn't have to mean taking an animal into your home forever." "I think that we owe it to these animals," Siler added. "They have lived their [lives] giving people joy and happiness and companionship, and we owe it to them to finish it out strong. I also knew I was going to write a book and my mentor Ben Stevenson [the Houston Ballet’s former artistic director]."

"There are a lot of Annies out there. Fostering doesn't cost the foster a dime. A good rescue will provide all the supplies you need, will take care of all medical expenses," Rowe continued.E.
