Today we became foster parents to Zoey. Here she is with Tuesday (Zoey is the one with freckles). She was relinquished to the rescue organization by someone who said she didn't have time for her because she's so high energy. We went to the boarding facility housing her to meet her just today. There we were in a HUGE play room alone with her. She circled us without coming anywhere near us then hopped up on a box in the corner shaking. She wouldn't even take her favorite treats from us.
Her favorite human eventually came in and she started warming up to us with the security of his presence. We took her for a walk and she met Tuesday and one call to the rescue organization and she was in the car with us. We adopted Tuesday from the same rescue 2.5 years ago.
We've been home for an hour and a half and already the girls are loving each other - they're chasing, wrestling, playing tug and giving lots of kisses. She likes us now, too. I'm so happy we were able to get her out of the kennel - kennels are just not good for dogs long-term. She had already been there for 2-3 months.
We'll keep you posted on the new adventures of fostering Zoey!

They look like old friends in this pic! Congrats!
So cute! Having a little bit of dog envy right now. Wish I had the time to devote to one. She's one lucky puppy!j8
Awww!! Such a happy little family that you are making...I know that she is a foster...but she's sure become part of the family. You can feel the love. XO
Tuesday looks extremely happy. Zoey is darling! Congrats to all of you.
beautiful picture I'm so happy for you guys, this must be an exciting time. I know it was for us when we brought our second home, Zane. Life has never been the same since and I'm glad for that... even on the days she pisses us off, oh, like 6AM this morning when she got on a scent and took off into the woods. She is a hunter and that instinct will never leave!
Enjoy and again, I'm thrilled for you.
Have fun fostering Zoey! We were foster parents to cats before we adopted our daughter, and we loved it. It was so rewarding to help those animals out, and we loved the unconditional love that we got in return. It was hard to say goodbye when they left for their forever families, but we were happy that they were going to wonderful homes. We wish that we could still foster, but my daughter's room was the foster area and we're out of space for now!
They both look thrilled! Congratulations!
The joy is on their faces. All the best!
Can we keep her? Can we keep her? She is soooo cute!
TOO cute!
