Fostering dogs

[Vegansnake]

I'm thinking of applying to foster,is anyone doing so at the moment and can advise...I'm / we arnt ready yet for another family member,but we have love to give,helping someone on their way to a forever home...currently no pets,and enclosed garden.

The one with 10 set up (with a couple of others) the rehoming charity my foster hound came from. Iirc 5 or 6 are hers and the rest fosters. This particular charity generally has Heinz 57 dogs, it's not a breed specific organisation. Tbh unless you've experience of having several dogs of your own i'd caution against fostering several at a time - I love my adoptee to pieces but she's been a completely different kettle of fish to my other 2 (had both of those from 8/9 weeks) - she's needed a lot of time and care. Just based on my experience I'd find it hard to manage more than one at a time, going through the training/settling in. But if you've nerves of steel, why not But i'd stick to one rehoming org I think, and make use of the support and advice they can give you.

The reason they are telling you one at a time is because it is hard settling a dog down, dealing with their issues, and teaching them manners etc. When I have two puppies on foster its really hard work combined with my own two (easy. laidback) dogs.

Yes,I see.thanks..haven't had a home check yet,so will just wait for that..I expect one dog will be enough for us anyway..
