what would you do?

I would take control of finding a new home myself - talk to friends and family, adds on pet shops, gumtree, vets etc. Obviously look at vetting new family yourself - visit their home to see is it suitable, if renting will their landlord allow pets?

We got both of our dogs through family members of original owners, who asked around friends and family. Came with virtually no info unfortunately.

How sad that you've had this experience as the small charities that I've had dealings with are so grateful to their fosterers and can't do enough to help them.


Regarding the testicles: Some dogs' testicles never descend and do need surgical removal, as they can become cancerous.

I have a feeling I may know which "charity" you mean. A lady I was doing a home check for who needed to re home her cats as she couldn't afford their food, was fostering a puppy from a charity that sends them over from Romania, basically, they want the cash up front and a puppy/dog is delivered direct to the adopter! She is now stuck with a puppy she cannot re home, with seemingly no rescue back up. I have been trying to advise her and pointed in the direction of a reputable rescue that also brings over dogs from other countries but the rescue she is "fostering" for seem very amateur in comparison. I believe they only began in around Oct 13.

I think it might be the same one, their facebook page says they joined in November last year. Anyway, I still have the dog with me. After telling them that I couldn't get the dog to a place 30 miles away today I have literally heard nothing once again. I never actually got around to signing the fostering agreement. Gah! so much for trying to do the right thing!

Can't your friend who volunteers for the charity and got you to foster able to supply phone number and any help?

She's no help at all I'm afraid, she is as useless at communication as anyone I know.
