My Foster Dogs

Here are the dogs I have fostered and are now in their own homes with new families.

Jaeger and Moose - my first foster dogs, both Siberian Huskies and they were brothers. Really sweet and affectionate.

Tundra - Another good boy, a Woolly Malamute.

Misty - A Siberian mix and a really sweet girl.

Taz - A red and white Siberian, a real character.

Tonka - A Mal mix, great dog played well with all dogs, a little mouthy with people but very affectionate.

Kodi- A 5 month old Malamute puppy, he was HUGE for his age. Really sweet puppy.

Summit - A 1 year old Husky/something mix, really a huggable and kissey dog, loved to sleep on top of you all night! and cuddle up to you.

Shadow - A smallish Malamute, almost a perfect dog, happiest when sleeping on the bed, loved my dogs and fitted in really well. I got him back after 6 Months. Reportedly has some major issues. I have him now, and he does have a few issues, but is still a really sweet guy although now he must sleep on the bed otherwise none of us gets any sleep!

Rescue and Fostering

Recently I started helping a couple of rescue groups in my area BASH and MUSH.

I foster Huskies and Malamutes.

I have to say this is incredibly rewarding, even though it is really hard to let the fosters go, and can be quite stressful figuring out if the potential adopter is right for the dog.

So far I have fostered 6 dogs, and all have been adopted out.

I think it helps that I already have 4 dogs of my own and know I simply can’t cope with more on a long term basis. So keeping them is out of the question.

If you can do this I highly recommend it.
