    Aspen`s ready to find his new home!

    That Aspen has been here for almost a month already, and he`s finally ready to start meeting some adoptive families!! He`s come a long way from where he was when I took him home, he`s learned what it`s like to live in a house and learn some new skills. He`s still got some growing up to do, but that`s something that just comes with time and continued training and management.

    Once again, I`ve learned so much from him, from how to teach a dog what a ``house`` is, down to how to deal with the frustrations of an impatient Pittie mix. LOL!!! He`s pressed a few of my buttons for sure, although it`s usually after a long day at work and I just don`t have to energy to run him again, and I just want to relax and he thinks that we should be doing other things. *sigh* But he`s a good boy and he`ll make a great family member in his forever home (I say this as he chews on his blanket in his ex-pen...haha). I`ve fallen in love with him, but I am also honest enough to note that he would not make a good permanent fit for my home, due to the current dog dynamic, so I don`t have that worry of falling too much in love with him. Wink I will be putting every effort forth to help find him the right home for his exercise and stimulation needs.

    I`m glad to have had the opportunity to work with him. He`ll stay here until either an opening at the shelter comes up for him to go back (not my choice, but it`s hard to adopt fosters out here from foster homes) or he finds a home from here. We`ll see which one comes first. Congrats Aspen boy, we have done what we set out to do one month ago, and so much more!!!

    I'm so happy for Aspen.  He's had a great opportunity while you fostered him and it sounds like he has made great progress in a short time.  Good training and someone who knows dogs makes the process so much faster and easier on the dog.  I hope he finds the home he deserves.

    I have no idea why this was moved to Dogs needing homes...it's just general chat stuff for the board's purposes. He'll never be adopted through an online forum.....I guess I should have left the original title of "It's hard to believe". Then it probably would have stayed. Tongue Tied

     You never know where a dog will be adopted from!  We've seen dogs get homes here before.  Wink

    Yes, but the point is it wasn't a plug looking to find him a new home, and he will be adopted locally. It was just general conversation.

    Sorry, Kim, I moved it.  There's so much stuff in General Chat because people aren't more careful about where things really belong.
