Taking in two "emergency" fosters

So about two months ago DH and I decided to stop fostering for awhile(aka probably a few years) so we could focus on us, be less stressed, and really start TTC. But today I got an email from my coordinator-the poor thing is at her wits end. She does SO much for these dogs and now she is in a bind with 5 pups that can't stay in there foster home anymore. So I "begged" and think I used my last "get out of jail free" card(and I've only been married 3 months!) with my husband and we are fostering two 9 week old pups. I am not sure which ones we are getting yet...but aren't they so cute?? They will be here on Sat(from GA) weather permitting!

Ok I can't figure out how to post pics on here, even with photbucket ugh! So here is the link to one of them haha

  • So cute! Good luck!
  • I hope it works out!  I took in an emergency foster once too....and he had issues.  Because of that we had him longer than we intended.  He was scared of everything and was really just a one person dog because of trust issues.  Because of him, we do not foster anymore.  I don't even ask.  So....Yeah for you!  I really hope things work out so you can do it again :)

  • soooo cute!!! I'm volunteering for a rescue in a few weeks for the first time. While there I'm going to talk to the director (or whatever her title is) about fostering and some questions/concerns I have. I really hope to at least foster 1 dog before I get pregnant. :)
  • Oh my goodness, what cuties.  I just want to cuddle them!

  • Whenever I see these posts I always have to fight the urge to run to the shelter to get another dog.  I wish it was in the cards right now.  They are lucky to have people like you to take them in and love them though, so cute!

    We have been fostering for about a year and we had one like this too. Luckily, we found him the perfect home in just a couple weeks(someone who had another "issue dog") But if he had been there for a long time or he had been our first-we would have been in the same boat as you! These ones just got kicked out of their other foster home and hopefully don't have issues! :) They will be our last ones though, which I am bummed about, but it's a compromise I had to make with DH to even foster in the first place! :)

    That is great and so wonderful of you to do!!! It really is such a rewarding experience(and just a bit sad when they go to their new home)

    Oh thank you, that really means a lot! I feel the same way though-I so want to adopt another dog, but just can't right now.(I think if I wasn't married I would be a crazy dog woman)

  • Have fun! We always say we're done and then an emergency comes in. We aren't taking in any potential long term fosters for a while but we've taken a few weekenders in. Goodluck!!!
