Jeff's first foster dog

Yesterday I got another foster dog from A Forever Home Rescue (you should check out their website: www.aforeverhome.org). Jeff has never fostered a dog before and was SUPER excited about it. 

A little about our new "bundle of joy:"

• She is a Newfoundland/Golden Retriever mix 
• She is 2 years old
• She was given up because her family didn't want to pay for surgery 
• She is 106 lbs!!!!!!!!!! 

So, she has been settling in well and loves playing with Jeff. Let's just say . . they entertain each other. Today Jeff is off with her throwing the tennis ball at the tennis courts. I am sure they will both be tuckered out when I come home later! 

So, why foster a dog? If there were no fosters, the dogs would either be "put down" or put in kennels. It is sad because the majority of dogs who are given up are sweet and have no control over the situation. . . 

This pup will have surgery later this week to fix an eye problem and then she will be ready for a new home (the surgery fixes the problem). 

I have a feeling . . . Jeff will miss her when she is gone :)
