New foster?

[Horsefeathers!]

I may be fostering a long haired Chi for a (hopefully very) brief time. I don't know much about this dog except that she's a seven year old spayed female. Apparently, whoever it is that has her now can't keep her (no clue why). They were wanting to dump her in our local kill shelter, but I KNOW I can find this dog a home (barring any problems they aren't telling me about). I wasn't able to find out much today, but I did ask about the dog's temperament. All I was told was that she's kind of shy, but not snappy or aggressive. I just don't have the resources to put into ill tempered dogs, anymore, so I can only work right now with those easily adoptable. I'd just hate to see a perfectly good dog that's easy to place put down, and if she were to go into this particular shelter, she'd be a goner for sure. That shelter makes no effort to promote adoptions... they just put them down.

There is another shelter half an hour away that, last I talked to them, usually actually has a waiting list for pure-breds and small dogs. I'm going to get with them to see if they might have someone on a list interested in a long haired Chi. Apparently, according to whoever it is getting rid of the dog, the reason they can't find her another home is because nobody wants her because her tongue sticks out the side of her mouth. ? :-? ?

Our receptionist knows this dog and says she's very sweet.

I've never seen her, so I know nothing about color or size. I'll be sure to post back tomorrow when I know more about her and let you all know if we are indeed fostering her.

I said ten was my limit! :-?
