I started fostering puppies with Humane Society (Milpitas) back in 2020. On January 2021, I brought home Circe (a 11 week old pup who had multiple fractures and completely destroyed knee joint of her hind leg). I took care of her, gave her medicines, food and fresh water, carried her in my arms and took her for strolls every 2-3 hours as she could not walk, played with her, massaged her legs as per vet's instructions. Age was on her side and she recovered fast. When she finally started walking after 3 weeks, it was almost time to give her back and I ended up adopting her. She has made me (& my husband ) happier than I thought we could ever be. She has taught us a lot about pet care giving, training & living with dogs. Each and every pet, their personality and needs are different. Some need warmth and snuggles while others need company and their own space. I try to gather as much information possible from the pet owners, then I like to study pets (as their dynamic with people can differ) and try to provide best care with the available information till pets' parents are back! I usually use a small amount of treats to get pets to listen to me and follow my instructions.
