Foster the Foster Dog!


We've mixed things up a little bit. Rather than taking in a young pup again, we've taken over the care of Foster. Foster is approximately six months old and a pup who's been through a lot in his short life. You can read more about Foster's story on ARF's website. Foster just arrived last night, but he's fitting in nicely. Beadie loves having a pup around, especially one her own size, and even that cats think Foster is pretty cool (for a dog).

Foster has been going to physiotherapy to help him recover from his surgeries, but aside from a somewhat funny gait, he's a regular 6 month old puppy. Thanks to the awesome vet tech who took Foster under his wing, he already knows a number of commands: sit, down, shake, go to your bed, go to your kennel etc. He also fetches and gives you the ball back! He loves to run and play. Of course he is a little slower than our own dog, and conserves his energy, but he's every bit a happy puppy who's very grateful of a nice warm home and people who love and care for him.
