Today I have been working on what is definitely the hardest part of the planning for this adventure. After researching, talking to hubby and other people, and some really hard thinking I came to the conclusion that it just wont be possible to take my dog with us on this trip. Insert really sad face here. So today began the task of trying to find her a suitable foster home for while we are away.
I started with talking to any family and friends that I thought might be able to help but came up with nothing. I googled all sorts of foster/boarding facilities around the country, but came up with the conclusion that we just can't afford that option. Next on the list is a facebook call for help. I have posted on my page that I need to find a foster home, friends have shared my message and we have had a couple of replies. Not sure yet whether any will prove fruitfull though. If this option fails to find her a temporary home my next step will be to contact all the breeders in Adelaide to see if anyone can help or if they can try to assist with finding her a home. At least they will be familiar with her breed.
I hate the idea of having to send her to a foster home as the poor baby has already had to move homes once before. She came to us as a "second hand dog" from another family who could no longer keep her. I know how hard it was on her first time round, I wish I didn't have to put her through this again.
Rest assured, I will be going to every length to make sure that wherever she goes she will be loved and treated the way she deserves.
