Foster homes needed for dogs at Montgomery County Animal Resource Center

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Montgomery County Animal Resource Center (ARC) is asking for community members to open their hearts and homes to dogs in need.
June is Foster Pet Month. Fostering is a short-term commitment that has a lifelong impact on an animal. The ARC takes care of hundreds of dogs annually – some for medical recovery, shelter breaks.

Fostering helps the shelter by reducing overcrowding and giving vital insight into a dog's personality in a home setting.
'When you foster, you're giving an animal their best chance at a forever home,' said Amy Bohardt, Director of the Animal Resource Center. 'Fosters are the bridge between homelessness and hope. We're so grateful for every person who steps up to make a difference.'
When a person decides to foster, they are provided with all essential supplies, including food, leashes, creates and medical supplies (if needed). They can chose a dog and timeframe which best fits their life-style.

'I have had the privilege of opening my home to dogs of all different breeds, ages and backgrounds since becoming a foster for ARC,' said foster caregiver Samantha Baudendistel. 'It brings me so much joy to know that I got to play a part in each dog's story. And through each dog, I have also played a part in the story of each family who has adopted them, and all it took was a little bit of patience and a whole lot of love.'

If You Sleep Hot, You Could Use These 30 Products

An oscillating tower fan to help the air flow without REALLY jacking up your energy bill. It's a bladeless fan that works quietly with six speed options and a remote you can park on your nightstand in case you get a little too cold at night (what a great problem to have). Plus, a battery-operated flexible rotating fan that lots of reviewers use on strollers to keep babies cool. But! It would be great to wrap around your bed frame on your side if you're the hot sleeper and your partner isn't. A cooling mattress pad reviewers rave about because it's truly awful to get ready for bed and then lie there, unable to sleep because you're too hot. This'll set you up for sleep success. A silk pillowcase that'll have a soothing, cooling effect. But! These'll stick around in your bedding mix during cold weather, too, because silk doesn't suck moisture from your hair and skin like cotton pillowcases do. Or a specifically designed set of two cooling pillowcases made with Japanese cooling fibers to help absorb your body heat while you sleep. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if summer really makes all that rear its ugly head, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits for bed, and it's made to work for up to seven days. An ultra-fine continuous water mister will refresh your hair in the morning after you've slept on it. Let's keep that air-dry style looking fresh instead of using more time, water, and hair products on a whole wash! A set of two cooling pillows that are hotel quality. I'm a hot sleeper and swear by these year-round. They're also INCREDIBLY comfy and supportive thanks to the gel fiber filling. Or if you're feeling a bit splurgy, a cooling pillow filled with a super squishy foam that'll provide a super cool sleep surface for at least 12 hours. Or a cervical pillow with breathable memory foam if you're a hot sleeper but need your head and neck cradled in a gentler way than a regular pillow. Also, it comes with an Arc-Chill pillowcase! A set of cooling bed sheets that'll keep you from waking up all hot and sweaty. They feel super pricey but, thank goodness, aren't! Or if you've got a DEEP mattress, some ultra-soft deep pocket fitted sheets made to be super breathable. Or suspenders for your sheets if you already have a set of cooling sheets you like, but the issue is that the fitted sheet won't stay put on your mattress, and you end up in a sheet burrito. These are exactly how they sound, so no matter how much you toss and turn, your fitted sheet comes loose in the middle of the night. A linen bedding bundle so you can fully realize your fancy home self while keeping your cool. You don't have to sleep hot to love these, but that'll make you love them even more! A temperature-regulating 100% cotton blanket that'll keep the air flowing while you dream about Pedro Pascal. Sweat-wicking pajamas made of viscose and spandex because, well, those Old Navy PJ pants from middle school that are still kicking are perf for cold weather, but you need something more breathable during summer months. Oh, and the waist is elastic! A cooling body spray as a welcome relief before bed or if you wake up in the middle of the night feeling toasty. A handy dandy ice roller you can use as an early-morning treat to help your skin feel spectacular. But! Reviewers also note it's helped them minimize the look of pores, reduce redness and puffiness, and even provide some migraine relief. A lil' super cooling eye stick made with Icelandic glacier water to give you some extra relief when you wake up in the morn. Reviewers say it helps their dark circles and de-puffs their post-sleep under-eye area. A hot or cold therapy hat you can put in the fridge before bedtime to cool down your noggin. It's made for migraine relief, but tons of reviewers love it otherwise. Or a Sheex x Brrr° silky sleep mask that comes equipped with quick-drying, sweat-wicking, mineral-infused fabric that'll feel great on your face *and* block out light to help aid in falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer. A set of wickaway sweatbands really made for workouts but'll help keep your sweaty hair out of your face as you get some Zzzzzs. And a dry shampoo to help sop up oil on your roots from any sweating overnight. You shouldn't have to wash your hair daily just because you sleep hot! (It'll work even better if you apply it *before* you go to sleep!) Or a COLAB Overnight Renew Dry Shampoo blasts your greasy roots with a formula that works for you while you sleep. It's a heavier duty spray than regular dry shampoo but soaks in overnight for an easier morning routine. A ~streamlined~ door draft stopper that'll keep your precious AC working for *just* your bedroom. Plus, it'll blend in with your door. And if the top and sides of your door seem to be letting precious cool air escape, an insulating strip involves basically a foolproof installation. It just sticks! A calming weighted blanket if worrying about the heat it could add has kept you away from them thus far. This one comes with two covers — fleece and one made with CoolMax Microfiber technology. Here's to being relaxed without waking yourself up from overheating. But if you're still feeling "ehh" about a weighted blanket, a temperature-regulating, cocoon-like sleep pod could be a great comfy option to help lull you to sleep with minimal fabric covering your body. I've tried it myself, and it's SOOOO stretchy. A dual zone comforter if you sleep hot but your bed partner doesn't. One half is toasty, and one half is comfy. An investment-worthy ChiliPAD sleep system if you've long been in pursuit of something that'll keep you the exact same temperature all night — especially if you'd like to sleep a different temp than your bed partner.

The bill was sponsored by state senators Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) and Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City). High flying acts announced for 2025 Dayton Air Show The Wright Flyer III was first flown by Orville Wright on June 23, 1905. This plane is significant since it was flown in Dayton — having been tested at Huffman Prairie near Fairborn. 'The 1905 Wright Flyer III is a prime example of why Ohio is considered the heart of innovation,' said DeWine. 'Making the Wright Flyer III the official state airplane is a great way to honor Ohio's aviation heritage.' The ceremonial signing took place at the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum, where the original Wright Flyer is on display. DeWine says only 20 percent of the plane has been restored, with 80 percent still being the original materials crafted by the Wright Brothers themselves. 'It's a wonderful thing to to come out here and to see it,' said DeWine. 'These two guys from Dayton, Ohio, who had a bicycle/print shop and decided that, they got inspired, that they wanted to fly and they figured it out.' The John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum is open daily at Carillon Park. Click here to learn more. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
