I'm 18 and a dog fosterer for West Yorkshire Dog Rescue. Originally I came home from uni wanting another dog after mine died in December however it was too hard convincing my dad this due to the money etc. So the perfect solution... to foster of course. So yesterday the rescue got in contact with me after I had asked about a certain dog they needed a foster for. Unfortunately this dog didn't end up needing a foster home in the end. So they tried again for a collie but due to them not knowing whether it was good with other dogs this dog wouldn't come to me either. Ah well... I am now homechecked so can become a fosterer whenever. It is just a waiting game but hopefully it will be soon, and when I foster a dog I will post all about it on here so prospective owners can read more about the dogs temperament etc.
It feels good to be helping a dog rescue, both my dogs came from kennels and both had kennel cough so I understand how important is fosterers are there to provide a comforting home for a dog before it finds its permanent home, therefore causing as little stress to the dog as possible.. and to me thats all that matters.
So thats me,
I'll keep you informed,
Lucy
