Did your foster dog get adopted? I noticed the photo isn't in your signature anymore.

How do you like fostering?

We've talked about fostering and actually contacted a few places to get more info on becoming fosters, but didn't receive much of a response. Admittedly, I gave up too easily. I didn't figure I would have to be so persistent when I was volunteering to foster for groups that are always asking for more fosters! In any case, I should try contact some places again, or try getting info from different groups. 

If you have any fostering advice, I'd love to hear it!

  • She did get adopted. Last week. We liked fostering. I thought it would be harder to give her up, but because we knew she wasn't here forever, it was actually "easy" to give her up to people who did want her forever.

    We do plan on fostering again, but we were out of town last weekend, we have guests next weekend, over thanksgiving we're dogsitting our former foster, then we leave for Mexico three weeks after that. So we'll probably wait until after Christmas to foster again. 

    We fostered with Homeward Bound, and found it very easy, actually. contact Sherri there if you want more info. 

  • Butting in to say that the rescue isn't Homeward Bound.  If you want to PM me, I'll tell you who it is, but I don't want them to think I'm bad mouthing them at all, because I just didn't know how for sure the process with a rescue.  So far they've been nothing but nice.  Just relatively non-communicative.  :)
  • I don't need to know then :) I was just going to kick someone into gear if it was HB :)
  • I wish it were so you could!  :)
