That is absolutly brill

But the pros to fostering are seeing a terrified dog slowly responding to the love & care that you give. To have them finally bring their tail out from tucked under their legs & even a little wag. To get them to take a treat from you instead of having to throw it at them. To get them to enjoy going for a walk. To teach them to trust again. To stand sobbing

at the door as you wave good bye to them as they go to their new forever homes & to get photos and phone calls about their continual progress.

Fostering is hard at times but oh sooooooooo rewarding. The day I dont cry when my fosters go is the day I shall stop as that will be the day when they are just another dog & not part of my life.
P.S. I do foster & have fostered to date 6 dogs that were on the PTS list as they were branded unhomable & I do work full time. I make time before & after work, but more importantly I have very good neighbours who for various reasons dont or cant have their own dogs & queue up to take them put during the day or to just sit & socialise with them. Plus all my permanant residents were all rescue cruelty cases & I think that sometimes helps another traumatised dog as they appear to sympathise and help them.
Good luck if you do foster & a big thank you to all of you out there that already spend hours coaxing a dog out from under a bed, walk around with a mop as a new extension to your arm, or crawling on all fours with a toy in your mouths

We need you.
