Does any one else on here foster dogs? (or any other pets?)
I got the call this morning about another dog they want me to foster. I'm hesitant, though...
It would be an instant 'Yes!', of course, but I'm worried. She's supposedly a 3yr old Cocker Spaniel that is having a hard time being homed because she's blind in one eye. I've seen her, and she appears to have a cateract that deffenatly needs to be checked out further by my vet, and health issues always concern me. Her card originally said 'needs to be only dog,' but when she called me she said nothing of the sort (and she knows I have 2 dogs) so I'm wondering whats up. After spending time with her I'm guessing she might be toy possesive with other dogs, but its just a gut feeling because she didn't show any signs of anything; I'm worried about that. I don't know if I want to risk upsetting the pack that is finally getting settled - my cocker has taken over that alpha dog roll and I fear it will greatly upset her if there is a bubble in the wrap.
I wish I could just explain it to Maddie and ask her if its okay
I feel like I foster WAY more "purebred" (of course, only by looks do we guess) dogs than mixes
here I go again. . .
