Well, fostering a pup is always tough. My mom and I were known as the Doggy Half-Way house back in my home town. We fostered, got vet care for, rehabilitated, and found homes for 30 dogs in my lifetime alone. A few I ended up really really attached too, like my lab Sammy, ended up as furever fur kids. Whenever I can get back in a place to be able to do that, I wanna pick up the fostermommy title again. Good luck, as to finding her forever home, reach out to your vet. Put up a sign in the office if you can. Anyone who is taking their dog to the vet is likely to be a good parent to their pup/kitty or knows someone who is. You can also get the vets voucher on the person who may call you. Vets know good peoples.

Thank you for all the advice, everyone!

"Furkid" already has a home in store for her! A man my husband works with said his folks were looking for another dog. The wife called me at 5am this morning (waking me up out of a heavy sleep). Their 16 year old Silky Terrier passed away shortly after Thanksgiving, 2011.

These people live in a nice home with a large fenced-in yard. Furkid's appointment for shots, bloodwork and spay has been rescheduled for Thursday (she should feel better by then,she had quite a reaction to our food). These people want to pay for all of it!

She'll stay in our care until our vet releases her. I want to be assured she's getting it all done.

We are going out to their home this afternoon to talk with them first, and reassure me and hubby that this is indeed a good home for Furkid, as sometimes what you hear isn't always what is real.

They have no children at home anymore and they're lonely without Mollzies (not sure if I'm spelling that correctly, but it was their Silky's name).

I really feel this couple will be awesome for Furkid. They have tentatively named her Cagney. I'll call her that so she can get used to it. Apparently it's the Mrs' favorite character from some TV show. lol!

IF this all turns out the way it seems to be...I'll be SO excited for Furkid..err.. "Cagney".

Please have warm fuzzies and prayers for little "Cagney" that this isn't too good to be true. :'')

Sigh...well somehow I knew that was too good to be true.

They did have a Silky Terrier named Mollzy, that was about the only part that was factual.

They do not have a fenced in yard...and they already have six other dogs, which is already over the legal limit in that area.

This all came from their son.

I'm not worried, I'm just disappointed. I know this little girl will get a great home in time.
