So Brad and I have been doggie crazed for the past few weeks. We know we can't adopt one right now because of time, finances, etc, but for some reason we have been checking out local shelters just to torture ourselves!! Just kidding- we want to do some glancing around to get an idea of what kind of dog we want in the future.
We were at a shelter in Park City and learned about the foster program they have. They signed us up and now we can take home a dog for the evening-- pick one up at 5pm after work and bring him back by noon the next day. They provide everything: kennel, toys, food, etc. We found the PERFECT dog and we HAD to foster him for the night.
We had so much fun with Radcliffe, in the house playing and then at the park the next morning. He was wonderful. We wish we could have him, but we loved fostering him while it lasted! He is so great. Just perfect. The downside is in one evening we got WAY too attached.. we miss him a lot.. and hope we find a way to control our emotions as we continue to foster maybe once or twice a month.
This is such a great needed program! We have a dear geocaching friend that does the same thing. She lost her dog after 21 years and she is not ready to get a new dog but this program has helped her as much as she helps the dogs. Good work! Keep it up! Cute dog! I can see how you would get attatched!
