Longclaw Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) I wasn't going to do this because I don't do very much in rescue, but what the hey... Name: Emma Age (optional): 28 Location: Canberra Rescue Group: CGAS (Canberra Greyhound Adoption Service) Time in Rescue: about 1 year Who can vouch for: Paula_Canberra, olly, Daisy. Paula, Daisy and olly's OH have been to my house. Who I can vouch for: As above, plus BMP, who I've met a few times but not at each other's houses. I've been to Paula's and olly's houses. Preferred Breed: Greyhounds Experience (if any): Fostered 4 dogs including my ff, Tommy. Have had Tommy for two weeks shy of 1 year. Tommy is our only dog and we only take on one foster at a time. Fosters must be cat safe and I must have back up in case things don't work out with our cats, so that severely limits my fostering. Have also donated to various rescue orgs around the place and helped fund raise in a small way for CGAS. Microchip: Yes Vaccination: Yes Desexing: Yes Heartworm test: Yes worming: Yes flea treatment: Yes vet work if required: Yes - and have looked after a young greyhound in the weeks following his orthopaedic surgery basic training/teach manners: Yes - fosters are taught 'mealtime manners' and we attempt to adhere to NILIF as much as possible. BUT they are definitely allowed on the furniture!! house train dogs: Yes, have never had a problem house training a greyhound Dogs inside the home or outside: Outside with my dog when we are out, inside most of the time when we're home. Sleep inside. They also get some 'alone time' training. Are you prepared to give extra care for a submissive nervous dog: Yes, and have done so in the past, however, I quote from Paula's response: "Special needs dogs are taken on a case by case basis, it depends on the situation, resources required, whether we have a suitable carer available, and likelihood that the dog can be responsibly cared for and rehomed. We do not rehome aggressive dogs or those with a high prey drive." Edited July 20, 2007 by Longclaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabby Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) Due to the fact of keeping my last foster dog, i can't foster anymore as there is "no room at the inn!" Our foster turned permanant is a X wolfhound so him and my bullmastiff now make up 80% of the household, 5% the chihuhuas and 15% us humans! lol i'd be able to do home checks and transport requests, if needed though. Name: Sabrina Age (optional): 28 Location: Minto Heights, Sydney Rescue Group: i have rescued through 4Paws Rescue And Helping Paw Rescue. Time in Rescue: I have formally fostered three dogs over the past year through rescue but before that (because i'm such a sucker! ) had taken in a few dumped neighbours dogs (at different times!), desexed etc and rehomed them. So i guess i've been involved in rescue in one way or another for two years Who can vouch for: i've spoken to Moondog and Wizard1 a fair bit. Preferred Breed: If i still had the room, it would be the quiet ones who would get along with my chis! Experience (if any): I worked as a kennel attendant at AWL, volunteered at the RSPCA, vet nursed for a while, worked as a dog trainer for a few years, now as an attendant at boarding kennels. i've had dogs all my life and have four of them now! I would love to foster again but we do need to upgrade to a bigger house (and beg the OH ) i've put in the following info just in case.... Microchip: Yes Vaccination: Yes Desexing:Yes Heartworm test: Yes worming: Yes flea treatment: Yes vet work if required: Usually is required, ie desexing. basic training/teach manners: definately. Sitting, no jumping house train dogs: yes Dogs inside the home or outside: outside/inside during the day. inside at night, as all of mine are inside. Are you prepared to give extra care for a submissive nervous dog: i do work four days a week so i don't think i'm able to give that extra time to them as well as four of my own!

(we started with fostering dogs, but moved into cats when we saw a pregnant cat calling out to us from her cage at Renbury). Experience (if any):I definitely say we still wear L plates. But we have learnt alot about how to train cats (yes you read that right, we train our cats). Microchip: Yes Vaccination: Yes Desexing:Yes Heartworm test: Depends on the animal worming: definately flea treatment: Yes vet work if required: Yes basic training/teach manners:We test our cats with other cats, dogs and children, they are litter box and scratching post trained and we teach them to play with toys, not people's hands or ankles. house train dogs: I guess we can say yes to this as we house train our cats. Dogs inside the home or outside: Both we have a non cat friendly dog, so her and her best friend are outside a majority of the time, but we also have a dog inside as well. Are you prepared to give extra care for a submissive nervous dog: We have personally found this very difficult, and have gone along a big and heartbreaking learning curve for both dogs and cats. We have realised our limitations in this area, so we would have to say we would not be able to accept an animal like this into our current environment.
