Me and my partner are looking into fostering, planning on applying after Christmas to be respite carers for special needs children as we both have a lot of expertise working with disabled children.
We have recently been told by a friend who fosters that we will not be allowed due to our dog.
We have a 5 year old Rottie, yes he is a big dog but is so well behaved, been through years of training classes, has a wonderful temperament and has been around children and babies his whole life.
Would this really prevent us, we are not willing to rehome our much loved and perfectly safe dog just because he happens to be a breed that people are wary of, thanks to the idiot dog owners out there.
