Hello, I currently live in North / Central NJ. I recently started having severe mental health issues. I am going to start active treatment and am uncertain how to take care of my five-year-old French bulldog. I love my Frenchie more than anything but think it is unfair for me to have him in...

Hello! My husband and I are first timers fostering an approximately 10 month old feral dog. She was found at a dump with two other dogs (assumed to be her brothers) and was brought from a kill shelter to the rescue we are fostering her from. It is also assumed that prior to her capture from the...

Hi I'm Ashley and I chose to foster a sweet 11 year old Yorkie after my Doctors told me I desperately needed a PSA. He is so sweet 99.9% of the time. Then he turns Cujo and bites me or tries to attack me. He was with the same woman from 7 wks old until 5 months ago. His owner had to go into a...

Sadly Cheryl and her her pups had to go back to the shelter for a bit. She was vomiting, lethargic, wouldn't eat, and had vile smelling poo leaking out her back end. I had to rent a cleaner and get the couch, carpet, and car cleaned, it was a lot of work and expense. The good news is isn't isn't...

Hello! :wave: My husband and I have recently moved to a new apartment in a new city. For the past two months, we have been regular volunteers at the local shelter where we met (and are quite taken with) a sweet terrier mix dog who is in serious need of an ear hematoma surgery (the thing won't...

Hello! :wave: I'm happy to join a community who loves dogs as much as I do. I've had dogs all my life. My husband and I recently relocated and are now regular volunteers at our local shelter and we're actually thinking about taking in our first foster. I look forward to reading the experience...

BeaglexBassett Hound. What a horrible combination. My family recently pulled a dog from the Animal Shelter, and am fostering him for a rescue. He's BeaglexBassett, with a ton of frustration in there. We just plain can't stand him. This dog is seriously impossible. He has the greatest...

We had a few criteria in mind for our next foster - mature, not needing a lot of exercise, not too big (mid 40's), adoptable). I had been watching a couple of dogs online when one of them showed up on the nightly euth list but she wasn't one that my wife had shown any interest in. The next...

Hey all I'm working for a marketing digital agency and due to my love of dogs, I have been tasked to find people who have fostered dogs and have gone on to adopt them (or who are thinking about it). Most of the people I know are US based but I'm really looking for people who live in the UK...

First, I have run the dog food calculators, and they are telling me that these dogs need 3.5 to 4 cups of food per day. Just to cover that first. That is aligned with the info on the dog food bags (if a bit generous). 6 weeks ago I took in two large breed male, unneutered foster pups. I have...

Hey guys! I've only posted on here a couple times -- but I'm in a bit of a predicament, and I need some advice. Here are the details: my mom's workplace is on an extremely busy highway, and last Monday a dog managed to make her way across the highway -- almost getting hit several times. My mom...

Hello everyone! I am a college student whose entire life revolves around the love for animals. I have a Labrador mix of my own and ever since February, I have taken the challenge of fostering a small terrier mix that apparently has allergies. Vinny Vinny is approximately 8-9 years old. He...

Hi All, I foster dogs for a rescue in Ontario, and I've kind of adopted my own "way" of training them. It is expected of me to expose the dog to a wide range of situations, of which I do so confidantly and regularly. Where I worry, is we're starting to foster larger and larger dogs now, as...

I am an "Employed" worker at this Rescue Facility whom has a few dogs that are having a hard time acclamating to the situation. They are all great dogs but are very visibly stressed and some have lost significant weight since arriving, despite every effort at increasing their weight. From...

I'm fostering a large intact male pit bull from the NYCACC. He passed his SAFER with flying colors and the volunteers really fell in love with him. He's had the best recommendations from them I've ever heard. That being said, I got him from the transport yesterday and he was obviously very...

Hello all, Hopefully someone can help me with a problem I have with a foster dog. Overall she's a very good dog, but this is not healthy for her body or my sanity. Just a little background, I live in Seoul, South Korea. The dog was rescued from a high-kill pound and about 2 years old. She's...
