Our dog, Zeus, was a foster fail. We rescued him from Kentucky, and when we started fostering him, he was heartworm positive. He also had crate anxiety and needed dental extractions. We nursed him back to health and ever since he has been a joy to us. We take him to the dog park almost daily (sometimes twice!) and he is very well socialized. Someone is always there to attend to the dog, be it for frequent potty breaks or frequent feedings. Our children are 14 and 21, and we have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The dog is allowed on the furniture, and is welcome in our beds. I work from home on a permanent basis which allows me the flexibility to care for dogs in my home. We live near a dog park, which we frequent. I have a fenced-in backyard with a sizable space for the dogs to run around. I treat all dogs like my own, including positive reinforcement and token rewards.
