I have not been a fostermom for a dog just for the reasons your post has described. My heart goes out to you on this decision. This dog sounds wonderful and you sound very attached already. Will you be able to be in the decision making process for her new home so you can ask the potential parents your questions and see them interact with her? Perhaps that will make you more comfortable. I also see your concerns about the weight /size differences. I have a husky who weighs about 65lbs compared to my Ruby who is 3.6 and Rosie who is 6.5. It works for us but I am VERY vigilant on how they interact with each other and I constantly supervise.

I hope those with fostering experience post to help you with your difficult decision!
