The cats we were fostering are well again, and back at the SPCA looking for homes. We’ll probably foster a dog next.

Waldo,
on behalf of those of us who hide behind the eventual broken heart as a reason not to foster…Thank You for picking up our slack. Is it as hard to let them go as I think it is?
I have to say that it really wasn’t tough to part with them. In part it’s because I’m not a cat person—I’m not fond of the critters on the whole (I’m a dog guy). But in part it’s because of the deal with fostering. You know it’s temporary. You know that this isn’t their home. We were a bit disappointed to give up the Jack Russells that we fostered last month, but it was nice to know that they were going home.
Yesterday we selected a puppy that, after she’s been checked over by the vet on Monday, we’ll probably foster for ten days until her vaccines have run their course. She’s a hound, no more than a few months old, and it looks like she broke her leg being hit by a car a few weeks ago (though that’s not clear).
I’m confident that there are homes that await these animals, better homes than I can provide. Homes with kids that will love them and sibling pets to play with. Knowing that they’re just living with us for a while until they go to their forever home is what makes it doable.
Please keep us posted on your travels with fostering….for now I will do it vicariously thru you and donate money to the shelter to diminish my guilt.
