Fostering helps, but forever homes are needed
After seeing
an appeal for a home for a handsome dog named Diego but not wanting a dog
full-time we decided to foster a dog that the refuge was having trouble
rehoming for one reason or another.
Our first
foster dog was Fripon, a 2 year old cross border collie. He was full of life but in the refuge barked
and barked and this seemed to put people off adopting him. After a short walk with him at the refuge we
could see his potential and decided he would be our first challenge.
He turned
out to be an amazing animal, full of life, intelligent, obedient and eager to
please. He loved his walks and after
being locked up for so long revelled in running free. Oddly he seldom barked when he was with us.
It was not
long before friends saw him when out walking and fell for him straight away. He
has made a huge and positive difference to their lives and they have told us
that this last summer with the dog and the grandchildren has been ‘magical’.
After a
short break we took on the challenge of Dina, a cross Brittany Spaniel found
wandering in a village, probably an abandoned hunting dog. She had serious issues when it came to
trusting any human. When we first
brought her home she would not enter the house of her own accord and had to be
brought in on the lead. We assume she
had been an outdoor dog. She did not
want any affection when she first arrived but gradually realised that a bit of
a stroke was not so bad.
Once again a
friend saw her when we took her to a BBQ and despite already having 2 dogs felt
very drawn to Dina from the moment she met her. After consulting with her
husband they decided to adopt her and have never regretted the decision. She describes her as a ‘darling dog’ that has
fitted in very well and has brought great comfort and friendship to her elderly
mother-in-law.
