Hiya Everyone!
getting our first Foster hound tomorrow. A 5yr old male named Socks.. very excited about it. Going to surprise the heck out of my hubby.. he knew that a hound was coming but wasn't expecting him until next friday. We look forward to fostering many more and i am sure along the way ..adopting.

Good luck with the foster. ;D It is a very rewarding experience

That's great that you are going to foster. Good luck to you. I want to foster, but have to wait a few years until we stop moving around.

Good luck with your foster! It is such a rewarding experience, but SO hard not to fall in love and adopt your foster.. which is what happened to me with Taz :P

I just signed up for my first foster as well. She's a 6 month old Geman Shepherd/Greyound mix (supposedly). She was scheduled to be euthanized today at the pound but I stepped in an a local rescue (near the pound) helped me to pull her. She's about 3 hours away so that rescue is going to keep her until she's spayed in a few days so I only have to make the one trip. I'm excited, and a little terrified! The main concern is just the balance of our pack (2 dogs, 3 cats) and how she will effect it, but we'll work through it somehow. I thought my hubby would kill me when I suggested it but he came around quickly and now said he's "excited about the challenge", so I think we are both ready. I think she'll arrive sometime this weekend or the beginning of next week, depending on the spay availability. Then the "fun" begins! :-\ Time go go read up on Greyhounds, German Shepherds, and fostering! ;)
