praying for my foster pup! A lady inquired about my foster dog tonight, and it looks promising. I've got the gift of gab, so feel free to do a quick skim lol.
I have temporary custody of a 9 month old pitbull who was surrendered to me three weeks ago. She is beautiful! Yet no one has wanted her despite posting ads all over facebook groups, my page, and kijiji.
A lady tonight replied about her, and has been asking me a lot of questions and telling me a lot about herself and her husband and son. They live in Manitoba and are willing to fly Izzy out there... a one hour flight that cost $60 air canada. They have flown a pitbull out before and said they had good experiences with air canada. Since they are also pitbull knowledgeable, that is a plus. And they are willing to enroll in classes for a month or two and send me Izzy's certifications.
I also creeped her on facebook to make sure she was legit... I do this to all people when they've taken foster dogs from me lol. She has a house with an 8ft fence, large yard, and they own their house so no "moving and can't keep her" issues!
I prefer that people meet the dogs first, but I have told her Izzy is extremely high energy unless she gets proper energy. And that she does jump and sometimes play a li'l rough and uses her teeth however not hard enough to break skin and that we are working on that. Pretty much told them the great, good, and kinda bad. And they seem very interested still. I am just wondering how shippinig her will go. I have NO experience in shipping a dog. Izzy is spayed, utd on vaccines, and microchipped... so I think getting vet papers for her flight will be fine. But how would I find crate requirements for a 60lb dog? It's only a 45min-1hr flight so I'm not too worried about her getting too stressed, she's been in a kennel for 12hrs! before
Anyways advice is welcomed! She is my last foster and if I don't let her go to a family by next Tuesday then she has to go back to her old owner per the contract we agreed on. I do NOT want Izzy going back to being tied up to the bumper of a truck, or shut in a basement for the winter.
