Reminiscing About Foster Dogs


We have been thinking about the dogs we have had since we began fostering, and have checked up on some of them.  Koda, the chocolate Schip is in Chicagoland and is doing well in the lap of luxury.  He had a month of intensive training and became a greeter in  a pet store during that time.


Koda's buddy, Little Bear is having a great time living in Colorado.  His family would like to find a female Schip for a companion.

Missy and Barbie moved to Kansas to work with horses.  Barbie passed away from cancer, but Missy still goes on the road with a horse trailer behind her chariot. 


Old Man Hobbs was terminal when we got him; with congestive heart failure and cancer.  We made his final days comfortable and as happy as possible.  He is buried with our family pets.


Groovy is also in Chicagoland, and his new Mama now is retired so she can spend more quality time with this good little buddy.


Little Jack (R)  came to us and decided to stay.  Lisa is in love with him, and they keep me warm at night by cuddling up to me.


Titan is out in Maryland, near Chesapeake Bay.  He has a Schipperke companion now, and is living a dream life.

We never quite let go of the dogs we pass on.  We think of them frequently, and the new families hold a special place in our hearts.

Good for you for your hard work. I know that what you have accomplished is reward enough, but thank you anyway.
