Painiacs , I keep her until we find a forever home for her.
Bet your chipoo is cute as a button.
KathyAire, After 8 years of fostering and many many dogs, I have only failed once and that is my Andy boy. He just came and stayed. I didn't ask him to he just did. I have had 3 fosters that I fell in love with, Tucker a black mutt, one of my first, Meg a mini dachshund, and Rosa a full size chihuahua. I kept none of them . I call them my heart dogs.
All the others were given love, training and a good home.
This is my secret: I fostered Puppies. LOL I think their cute but I do not want to keep them and they get adopted fast. And as far as fostering I get to play with a lot of dogs and someone else pays all the bills. What is not to like? :-)
I am changing her name simply because I have never known an Angel, 4 legged or 2 legged that was nice and there was one that really made my life a living hell for awhile. Its just one of those things.
