My willingness to foster is no more - I deeply resent my intelligence, my integrity, being abused, particularly when people choose to be economic with the truth. Our foster dogs are not in kennels, sheds, garages, they come straight into our home, and socialise with all our other dogs: they have free range, and invariably end up sleeping on our beds. However, I think it is grossly unfair to be expected to pay out for vaccinations, spaying/castrations and all their health problems. I am not a charity, or an organisation, I am a private individual who loves dogs and wants to help when I can. I have never, ever, asked for donations - in April, when we got a dog out of a perrera, I was assured she was fine - she wasnt, had serious health issues, and a Group I am associated with asked for donations on my behalf - I did not ask them for help, they will confirm this - it was very gratefully appreciated, but I found it awkward to accept. The vets bill was horrendous. Physically, she is almost back to full health, but she has a fair way to go mentally. As you may or may not know, I have a dog, a podenca, with terminal cancer - there is absolutely no way I will introduce a dog into our home, who she will undoubtedly want to mother that is sick, and/or possibly contagious. I am very angry, having found out at the eleventh hour, that, in my humble opinion, I was being used and taken advantage of. No more ... I will just concentrate on our pack and help when and if I can in the form of sharing and occasionally donating. End of ...
