My foster is never getting adopted
in Pets
And with all the "Free lab to good home!" ads on CL, why would anyone want to pay an adoption fee?
I am so frustrated. I have hung flyers, passed out flyers, re-written his write up, taken new photos. I reached out to the local lab rescue and asked them to do a courtesy posting for me.
I don't know what else to do.
Re: My foster is never getting adopted
We've been having the same problem with our foster, I completely understand how you feel. We've had potential adopters dropping like flies because "he's old." They don't even give his personality a chance to shine through.
I emailed several other dog contacts I had and asked them to forward his information on to all of their contacts. I know you tried that with the local lab rescue, but are there other venues you could try? Posting him at a vet's office?
Are you capable of going outside your local rescue and maybe going a couple counties away?
EDD 7/11/13 ??? VBAC, BABY!
Thanks, Jen!

His new write up and pix should be activated within 48 hours, I find that petfinder can be slow about that.
He is posted at: doggy daycare/kennel, 2 vet's offices, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, at our realtor's office, at a doctor's office, and I do a CL posting every 15 or so days, but I don't USUALLY get quality apps, but once I did, so it is worth a shot.
We are actually a Boston-based rescue, so you would think...but unless we can do some kind of pestie transport, I don't think so...
Plus we like to have people meet the dog first- and if there is another dog in the home, he should meet them because some dogs really hate Guinness for some reason.

The local rescue has been letting us take Eddie to their adoption events and he met two nice people on Saturday (who haven't applied yet, but I digress). Isn't your foster listed in NE? A lot of people probably wouldn't drive that far to get him and would want to meet him beforehand, so I'd focus locally. He will get adopted, I know it. Even my BSC crazy FIV cat who hated people get adopted, they ALL get adopted eventually.
ETA: we can pestie transport him, don't worry about that. Or he can maybe go with Last Chance Resort, I bet they would post him and help transport for you, especially if they don't have to pay for vetting.
Thanks everyone! And share away!
I just got an application on him. It is really good, actually. Which is so random. I have to find out where they saw him!!!
Yay, hope it works out!
That's great news about the application - I hope they are awesome!
He's such a cute guy; the right people are out there for him.
