Fosters So Far

When I got into my awesome new digs I was so excited to start fostering. That was just over a month ago now, and four dogs have come through my doors and two have already been adopted to great homes.

A Rundown of my Fosters:

TUCKER (Turtle Gardens) -the shy guy turned social butterfly



Tucker was the best cuddly, wrestler, dino-wrangling dude to come through here. Super quiet and attentive he's been adopted to a great new home up in Cobble Hill!


MAY (Victoria Adoptables) -the 8 pound labrador retriever



May was a stray in California if you can believe it. She was so pathetic when I picked her up, but as soon as she got into the house she was a party-animal. May is cuddler extraordinaire, but is also the instigator of many games out in the yard. She retrieves balls, bones, stuffies, and loves to be chased. She LOVES big dogs. May needs to put on some weight and will stay with me until she is spayed. She is up for adoption through Victoria Adoptables.

YAYIS (from Cozumel Humane Society) -the nervous beauty.



When a client at the daycare was talking about dogs coming up from Mexico I went to help out. I ended up fostering Yayis -a foxhoundX?- for four days until she met her forever family that own a dog facility in Parksville. Off of a dump in Mexico she was bonded instantly with Jerrad -probably because the dump was mostly men- and was his complete shadow. You couldn't find a more beautiful, loyal, unique dog than miss Yayis. I hope I get the chance to foster for Laura again.

HONEY (Turtle Gardens) -shy feral pup turned complete terrier



Honey is my newest foster and Tucker's 'replacement' (although the two dogs got to spend a couple of days playing together before Tucker ventured off to his forever home). Honey is smart, affectionate, and all kinds of cute 'trouble' if you let her. From being a shut down scared little hairy girl on day one, one week later she's bolting around the yard, running to the gate to have her leash put on, and heading up to most strangers with ease. She's still super skittish around odd noises, but is starting to come around with more and more exposure. The funniest thing about Honey is when the radio comes on with dogs barking, she just has to bark back! Honey is that big dog in a small dog package -like most terriers are- and is going to be a mountain of fun for whatever family is desitined to have her!
