Decided to Foster a Dog in Need

• Decided to Foster a Dog in Need garrettandpaul Posted : 3/16/2006 6:03:56 PM Just wanted to let yall know that we have decided to foster a dog for a rescue organization. As you know I had talked about wanting to adopt another dog but the last one we had intrest in was adopted before we could get him. This dog is one of two that was posted here in idog in need of a home. We feel very lucky that the rescue is allowing us to help this pup have a better life. We will be driving to Tennesee tomorrow about 3hrs from us and picking the pup up to bring home.  Wish us luck and I am sure I may come upon some stuff that I will need advice about seeing that the breed of dog I have never really had as much personal exspierience with it's a pointer. Will post pics soon[] LIKE 28 REPLIES 1048 VIEWS LAST POST SHARISMOM Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• garrettandpaul Posted : 3/16/2006 6:09:22 PM ORIGINAL: glenmar Good for you Garrett!  Guard your heart tho, or that little one will be with you for good! We have allready discussed that possibility between us and with the rescue. I told them that is one of the reasons I have always been a little hesitant because I'm not sure if I could give them up. So wish me luck........I'm just happy that I am saving him from going back to the pound and being put to sleep.

• garrettandpaul Posted : 3/16/2006 6:12:39 PM This is a pic of his brother who also needs a home. I almost agreed to take both than suddenly I came to my right mind. Don't think it wise to take on 2 puppies at once. Maybe one of yall can help him.[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jensw Posted : 3/16/2006 6:55:56 PM Look at that face! What a sweetie.   I predict you'll be a failed fosterer very soon, and Sasha and Samson will have a new brother. LOL!

• luv_my_3_labs Posted : 3/16/2006 7:41:11 PM I know I couldn't foster or at the very least be soooo picky about who gets the dog (do you get to help in that process?) that they would tell me to go fly a kite. You guys are GREAT for doing this... can't wait for updates... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 3/16/2006 7:56:55 PM Depends on the rescue whether or not you get any input.  The first group of pups I had, they did NOTHING to place the pups and I finally rehomed two of the four myself.   The second group the rescue did an initial screening, but I got the final word.   And, this is why I have THREE failed fosters.......... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• gradyupmybutt Posted : 3/16/2006 9:18:02 PM Garrett, I'm so happy you're helping out this little guy.  He sure is adorable.  This is one time that failure is not all that bad.  Give him some hugs & lovin' from me.  We expect to see a ton of pictures of him & frequent updates. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
