Share your setter’s story and why he/she should be our next Cover Star!
Top ten signs you are probably going to be a foster failure:
1. You start pondering the cool shapes for the ID tag for your new foster
dog. Fire hydrant? Dog bone shape? Diamond?
2. After much debate, you also pick out a nice new collar that
complements his beautiful fur.
3. Since you have the new collar and tag, you decide you might as well get
the matching leash. And a retractable leash for the long walks he enjoys.
And also a reflective leash for night time walks.
4. You start buying specialty treats he loves at the pet store. And also
some stuffed toys which he enjoys.
5. You worry about his tummy because he gulps his food. And order a
slow-feeder dog bowl.
6. Your nightly routine consists of snuggle time in the recliner without fail.
7. You also buy a really nice, super comfy dog bed you know he will love!
And move it into the bedroom.
8. You start referring to him as “our dog” rather than telling people he is a
foster dog and up for adoption.
9. You start dreading emails and phone calls from potential adoptive
families - rather than welcoming them- because you are worried
someone is going to adopt him, when you know in your heart, he IS
your dog.
10. You have already renamed him “Blue” sent in the check to adopt him
and made it official! Welcome home!
