taylor Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have been looking for a 3rd dog for what seems like years. And have had a few move in with me including a rescue on home trail who fell in love at the woods, now lives with a perfectly matched young jrt and plays all the time, and more recently a tiny puppy that has gone tonight to live with my dog walker.... I bought the pup from a classifieds purely because I could not leave her where she was. Linda fell in love, offered a family home , heartbreaking but perfect. Im still blubbing now! I already have 2 dogs and space in home and heart for another. It seems fate has bought me to fostering. Its like I was led here . So I do work full time, though fantastically short hours ... and have a dog walker but there is room here, Im pretty good at rehoming and I have trained a lot of dogs, (hearing dogs , military dogs and to shut the door amid other things) I feel that because I have posted on here a few times about new additions and that I work I may not be welcome as a foster mom, but as an alternative to kennels please get in touch. Any dog that came here would be love , cherished and probably found a wonderful home. Sally xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oldies Club have fosterers that work. We match dogs that suit circumstances. If you found someone wanting to adopt one of our dogs we would arrange the home visit and decide if they were the right home. If it happens to be in your area and you have homechecking experience then yes you could do the check. The final decision always rests with us which prevents our foster carers from being hassled by people.

Wendbert Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I work and have still fostered, so I'm sure that won't count against you. To be honest, homes where there is someone home all day every day are few and far between and I personally think that its good for dogs to be fostered where they will be in an environment where they will be left at times. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettie Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I think it depends on the dog, a young pup wouldn't do well in working home as a foster, house training and socialisation needs to take place on a regular basis but as Michelle says matching the right dog to the right foster home is the key, just as you would match the right dog to the right new home. Obviously all dogs have to learn to be left for a time, a dog that couldn't would be a nightmare to rehome. Some of fosterers take on 'special needs' dogs who they will teach that being left alone is not the end of the world, those would usually be people who are around through the day.
