Fostering dogs

In the fall, I started fostering dogs. I was inspired by Dean from WV Buddies with his Facebook stories about his life with rescue dogs. We got our rescue dog from him two autumns ago.

Our first foster was Rocky, a big cuddler, always ready for some loving! I thought it would break my heart to let him go. The day Dean came to pick him up he brought me Speedy. He quickly helped me get over Rocky...


We fostered Speedy from October through March. He had a torn ligament and after WV Buddies took care of the surgery I was in charge of his rehabilitation. He is the sweetest pillow anyone has ever met! In fact, he is so wonderful I griped constantly over possibly keeping him. If I did I wouldn't be able to foster anymore, so for the sake of other fosters he can not be ours. He is fully healed, loves people, (even child folk) and other dogs. After many months of limping and being in pain he learned how to play again. His true nature however is more being a mellow guy who likes to be where his pack is. He loves driving, every open trunk beckons him! He is back with WVBuddies now to be seen at adoption events. He's got great personality, my eight year old nicknamed him "Speedheart" since Speedy and Sweety are so close. You can see his petfinder link here.

For now we're on foster vacation until after spring break. I can't wait to see what dog Dean has in store for us!
