I have to admit, even though I KNOW that we cannot keep him, I immediately didn't think anyone would be good enough for this guy. I got a little sad, too.
I didn't even read the applications and was like "ugh - they better be good people" like I'm already defensive for some reason.
He's grown on me for sure.
He's such a sweet boy.
But, I know finding him the right forever home is the goal and that will also make room for any other foster who may need to get rescued. Me finding him a home means another puppy mill dog can get out of their miserable situation.
Out of the first 4 that I received overnight, 3 were worth reaching out to. The last one used an electric fence and I do not want this poor boy to be shocked in any way. I think that would traumatize him.
He's still getting used to a leash for fuck's sake. A shock to the neck? On this little wiener? No ma'am.
There is one family who coincidentally lives only about 20 minutes from me and they seem like a good fit. Young family, 3 kids. No current pets but had a wiener who they had to let go a few years ago due to old age. So they know the breed.
They have a 6ft vinyl fence, so that's perfect.
I have scheduled a meet and greet for this Saturday and fingers crossed it works out!
I reached out to the rescue so I understood next steps.
They actually put a hold on his application on Petfinder because he's getting so much traffic.
After the 4 from earlier this morning, I think another 5-6 came through. I'm weeding through those as well.
There are two other families that might work out if this first one does not.
I'm glad he's getting so much interest! This makes me confident that he'll find a home and that he'll find the right home. I'm glad I get to choose for him. 💗
Plus, they are local so I could always drop by and pay him a visit.
Anyway.
Fostering is definitely rewarding.
Watching this little guy come out of his shell and run and play and wag his tail....it means everything.
It'll be hard to part with him, that's for sure.
