It is a wonderful experience. I had the opportunity to foster a mama cat & her 4 kittens. It was wonderful! Granted she did tear up a little bit of carpet and the kittens left a few messes behind, but it didn't matter at all. Having the chance to help a cat & her litter was beyond wonderful. The hardest part was taking them back to the SPCA. Thankfully they kept me posted and found out that all of them including the mama found a home. Congrat’s on your decision to foster!

I'd wear my foster failure badge with pride :) I volunteer with my local humane society but I don't foster (not possible where I live). I'm in awe of those who do foster and have the love and patience to get animals ready for their forever home. I would have a hard time giving up an animal. Thank you to all of those out there do foster! If I had to fail at anything, this is what I’d chose.

Vet said just upper respiratory infection. Antibiotics for 10 days and he was fine. I just got a dog from humane society who was sneezing. Vet said just upper respiratory infection.

I keep telling myself - you only have a four foot fence and she is going to be a big dog. BUt the problem is I have wondered what it would be like to have a big dog -since I have always had small. She has the sniffles - she was in a shelter so now I am worried about kennel cough. CindyS, I am falling hard for this one too.

It takes a bit longer for an animal to worm their way into my heart but I think after 6 months I would be a goner. A friend of mine fostered once and called the dog Foster - she wishes she had kept him as he had run away from 2 homes after her and now doesn't know where he is. She has 2 dogs of her own now but I think not knowing what finally happened with Foster has haunted her. I do wonder about emergency fostering where you are needed for a few days or a week and I have dealt with many illnesses with my previous pets that changing bandages or giving needles would not be daunting. Something to definitely think about there. Maybe hubby will just come home to a new animal every few weeks ;) CindyS I would love to foster animals but my husband falls hard and he says he wouldn’t be able to let them go.

My friend has already experienced foster fail with her dog Sneaky Pete. LeeB - Only time will tell. Maggie, Thanks Tee, Thanks but I have just stuck my toe in the water so to speak compared to others. I will let you know how it goes. Sandy,
