Beauty - our first foster dog

Kim · 27-08-2006, 10:08 PM

Well, as I mentioned in Luke's thread we now have Beauty our first foster dog, we are fostering her for the oldies club. She certainly lives up to her name! She was owned by a lady in Wales who has sadly passed away. She was brought to us by several volunteer drivers who 'exchanged' her at various service stations from Wales and finally to us. She has settled so well, is brilliant with the cats, good with Caleb, has eaten 2 good meals and had a good bath and brush! Her fur was a mess - very dirty & matted, the amount of fur I got out could stuff a cushion! We took her for a walk earlier to a safe area and let her off the lead, she didn't wander and if she got too far in front she came immediately she was called. She will sit & give you her paw. As I type this she is fast asleep on my bed. Although we were told she is a springer x, I would say she is a small border collie x. I will take her to the vets in a few days, she definitely needs a dental, possibly some teeth removed, needs microchipping and vaccinating. Will post some piccies asap!

Sounds a lovely situation Kim - she is lucky to have found you. How long do you anticipate having her?

Kim - it's so nice that's you've taken Lady on and that she's assimilated into your household so well. Hopefully she'll go on to find a lovely, permenant home as she sounds adorable

It depends how long it takes to find her a pemanent home, Caleb was fostered for 3 weeks before he came to us, but some take several months, even years!

To be honest Yola, she is so gorgeous that I hope she doesn't find a new home for some time! In fact we could even be 'ff' - failed fosterers!!
