grandchildren and they were getting earlier and we didn't have babies so we thought this. >> reporter: rose family cared for 71 children over the last 15 years. they say the toughest part is knowing at some point that the child is going to leave. >> part of your responsibility is to take care of them while you have them and giving them up part while it's hard, it's something you have to do. >> reporter: the salvation army foster care and adoption program is looking for more families like the roses. >> in the state of pennsylvania there's over 27,000 children in foster care and so, every day there's a need for foster families. >> reporter: recruiters say some requirements include being 21 years of age or older, and a family must have room in their home for a child. >> we look for people who really want to serve and help kids because foster parenting is a sacrifice. you are taking a child into your home that's not your own. >> reporter: the roses say it's never too late to be be

the learning never stops. we hear that all the time. today, we are talking about summer school and summer tutoring. your kids are not going to love this idea. it's probably a tough sell. but ben is the head of the jemicy school and is here to tell you how to do it and how it can benefit your child and keep them motivated always good to see you. >> hard to believe summer is here. >> and you are in a ?iewt our work -- heads of schools work never stops. we are always preparing for students. it's true. students move away from summer school and it can be a valuable experience. for many reasons. summer school number one is much more relaxed than regular school. but more importantly if your child has a particular area of need like they struggled in math or reading, summer is an ideal time to focus on that one subject without the pressure of all the other things that go along in school. so, in that sense, that could be a benefit to the student. and the other big one is i am a proponent of summer learning laws. teachers spent first 6 weeks of the first months of -- six weeks reviewing stuff that the student knew last year. and three months is a long time not to be in school or engage in academic activity. >> you mention if your child is struggling, what if your child is exsigned about something -- excited about something is that a good time to nurture. >> yes a lot of times in the arts and drama. if your child is gifted or likes the area or has an interesting it's the gram time to engage them in that. >> how do you get them motivated because it would sound great to a parent but to a kid they might think are you kidding me? >> you think so but kids are bored after a while. other than playing with the game boys and other computer tvs, games on tv, it's important that you first approach it in positive sense. what you can say to them let's take a high school student. you are going to be a senior. if you have get american history out of the way this summer, that frees up your schedule to hold a job or you can get out earlier. there's benefit from doing it. a lot of times if you anticipate a hard academic class in high school the following year, chemistry was one. i took it over the summer and focused on it and got it out of the way and it was in the a problem to carry for ten months. the benefits you can talk to your child about. if it is something they are interested in, it's easy. but if you want to remediate. children want to do well and if you talk with them, you will balance it with great activities and go to hershey park or to the beach or here, but you know, for this next three weeks i want you to work on math and we will work on math and strengthen that. i can't tell you what the difference it makes for the child in september. when they are right on task the way they feel about school is going to change. >> before whoa go, a lot of parents and kids might not know this, but summer school can be a competely different environment than school the rest of the year. >> absolutely. it's much more laid back. you're only focusing on one area at a time of the it's. >> the full day program i mean as many of them are half day programs. some are an hour a two a day programs. it's not like going to school and more importantly summer school classes tend to be smaller. so teachers get to know you more and much more comfortable and usually a much more casual interaction. >> all right. ben, head of the jemicy school. >> great to be here. >> take a vacation. >> i am but to all of you have a great summer and i hope to see you in the fall. >> always good to see you. thanks for coming in. >> thanks you bet, bye. >> don't go anywhere yet. i want to bug you. stay with us this morning. if you need a reproduction of a rodeo bull maybe a neon porschee sign

morning was not normal. >> finally i said darned maybe the cat knows something i don't. >> reporter: that prompted her to take the bus to visit her doctor but she says as time passed her condition got worse. at the bus terminal she called 911 and was rushed to stay joseph's medical center. the ekg results made them rush her to the er swheessments having a hart attack. they opened up a blocked coreer in ay artery. clare was hospitalized for three days. >> after the whole thing was over, i found my right coronary artery was completely eclued and they put two extents in. >> reporter: she says

mixed boston terrier and looking for a home. family that had her couldn't keep ear and sent her over to the spc amount for adoption. she is nice and relaxed and low- key and friendly and come up to everybody in the studio. and she said hi to them. and she -- i think she will make a good pet. >> she is sweet. she would be a great -- she is probably trained. >> yes. as far as we know she is welltrained. >> people like the eye deaf puppy but that's what's great about a dog. they have training in and you know look at her she is cute. >> cute. >> all right. so, we have some questions that people have all this time of year and one is a lot of people want to go on vacation. they never know what to do. do they get a dog lock or what. >> there's lots of options you can have a dog walker or a sitter. you can take your pet to a kennel. we are getting questions in our hospital because we have a large boarding kennel about what to do about bringing your pet in for the kennel. if you are going to go ahead and kennel the pet, make sure to have your vaccination current and if you are going out of town it's good to have a nice medical summary going up so that if the pet sitter is this or if the dog or cats are over at the kennel they have a medical history of medical needs that are important but make sure your pet is vaccinated and make sure your pet is well adapted. if you are going to leave it at home, make sure you are going to have competent people to watch it at home. you want to make sure that the people are mature enough not to let the pet get loose a lot of times we have situations where you know a dog sit her or neighbor comes in and checks on the pet and leaves the door or the gate open and the pet gets loose. >> is there anyway to prepare your dog for either kennel or you know if the dog walker or? >> i think that's important to do. if you've house walker, you can have them -- or dog walker come in you can have them come in and visit with the pet. if you are kenneling the pet make sure they are used to relaxing in it and they know they can relax without being up on the bed and without being up on the sofa. most pets adjust nicely to a kennel. most kennel staff are well trained to play with the pets and give them extra attention if they look nervous. if you are boarding a pet with special need, sit down with the boarding kennel you are going to be using to make sure they accommodate the special needs. if you have a pet that's diabetic they need insulin or a pet with kidney or heart disease have staff that are capable of paying attention to that. it's also a good idea to meet your kennel to talk to staff that are going to be take care of your pet so they are well aware of anything that might be necessary. >> all right. tell everybody where you are? >> we are at towson veterinary hospital at york road. right between the roundabout and beltway. >> okay. don't forget about lucky. she is up for adoption and they have all sorts of great dogs and cats and speaking of cats that is great time to adopt because they have the baltimore 500 where it's free to adopt a cat for the rest of the month. >> so far we are trying to get 500 cats adopted and we are halfway to the goal at about 265 cats so far. we have got another 15 days to go. and hopefully we will get all 500 adopted. >> thanks for coming in. >> you are welcome. >>
