View Full Version : My New Fosters

So, yes, I sprung them both.

They are both wonderful pups and they are doing well adjusting to their new temporary home.

Demo- He was found frozen to the ground, his eyes frozen shut, and crawling in mange. Luckily, it has been cleared up, he's HW- and a dear, dear sweet boy. I have really fallen in love with this guy. I hope I can adopt him out locally just to see him from time to time!

Nikki is a larger lab mix, a sweet affectionate girl. She seems to prefer my little Demo over my own boy Dirk. Completely housetrained, and someone took the time to teach her sit, down, and shake. Since she was in a shelter without heated runs, I'm working off months of winter coat. She will make someone a fine companion!

Both great dogs, and despite my reservations about pulling two at once, things are working out well. Dirk has finally "graduated" from his crate and is doing perfectly well left alone in the house, although he is curious as to why this new dog is in his crate! Regardless, I think he prefers the couch over the crate while we are at work.

I can see why you decided to pull both of them. Good job on following your instincts and hopefully Demo will be adopted close by.
I understand you wanting to keep in contact, that was a horrible first start for him.

How are the new fosters doing?

They are both doing well, thank you for asking! I have an application for Nikki already, we'll see if it works out. The original lady I had her pegged for won't be a fit... Nikki seems to have more of an "only dog" type personality. She doesn't have aggression issues, but is more of a loner type, and hasn't bonded at all with my own boy Dirk. She tolerates little Demo, I think he is still on a "puppy pass".

Demo is just the cutest little guy... I'm really in love with him.

I've discovered that three isn't much more work than two... but I was lucky to get healthy dogs without behavior issues.
