Well foster care was the wrong word, but I didn't know what else to use as I hadn't been in this situation. I wasn't aware foster was for rescue dogs, apologies. We actually got her from the pound when she was a puppy. I know it's not ideal for her but I don't know what other options we have? Obviously there is the option of giving her away forever, but I don't think I could do that after 4 1/2 years. A year in a kennel is just to much, I mean even 2 months is a long time for her. Obviously there would be financial retribution of some sort, whatever was fair. The main issue is getting her out of a kennel. I was more just throwing it out there to see if this was a common occurrence, or what normal practice was, or if there were people/organisations that adopt dogs into their homes temporarily. I appreciate the responses so far, thanks to all.

That's a good idea, I might try that. Cheers Yeah she is quite active, obviously loves her walks/runs. Size of the house doesn't really matter, we had a relatively small place and she was fine. Same as yard size, she is an inside dog so the yard doesn't really matter either. She just loves attention. Let me know. Cheers

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to put this, so apologies if it's not. I have a Kelpie x, she has been kenneled for the last 2~ months or so whilst we are building, and the price is adding up, and she really needs to be in a loving household as she is getting a bit down (as anyone would). I go to visit her and take her out several times a week, but still. So I was wondering, does anyone know of long-term foster housing for dogs in Perth? Just so she can have some more one-on-one time, and maybe be with a family or something like that. Hopefully the house is ready by March-April next year, so it would be 9-10 months max I'd think. I did a google search but couldn't really find anything, but I did find this forum, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's not at the desperate stage quite yet but it's getting there. She's a really good, kind, loving, loyal dog, so if you know of any places/people that would be great. Thanks :)
