"Reno" is coming today - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Beamers Mom · 09-17-2010, 06:31 AM

Today is the day I get "Reno" to foster. I am so lucky to be able to get him even for a short while until a forever home is found.
Reno is what the rescue group have called him, but they say he really doesn't know the name and I can change it if I want. He is estimated somewhere between 8 and 10 years old.

They sent me some photos of him, so am attaching them.

The rescue girl says she has to go pick up some more dogs from animal control today as well and get them to the vets for checking, so it is going to be around 4 o'clock before she is going to be able to meet us with Reno. We are meeting half way.
It's been a long time since I did fostering. Going to be nice to be able to help these furbabies again.

What an incredibly wonderful thing you are doing. It's going to be so fulfilling for both of you. "Reno" looks like such a sweetie. I can't wait for updates later this afternoon

Awww, bless his heart. He's just as cute as can be! I'm glad he's found you to help him search for his new furever home.

Bless you for fostering little Reno! It takes a special person to do fostering...I know he will do great with you! I hope he finds his forever home soon. Dyan

Thanks Karen
Got to admit I am a little nervous - but that is normal. I used to get the same feeling when I fostered dachsies. Every time I got a new one I would be so nervous - what if the dog didn't like me, what if he/she didn't get along with my other dogs - etc etc etc. But always turned out fine

Although Ginger wouldn't allow Bruce near her for about a year before she decided he was OK, then she wouldn't leave his side! She had obviously been abused by a man at the puppy mill.

Oh, is he ever precious!! What a wonderful thing you are doing for him!

He's a darling!! Best of luck with him

Thanks for taking in Reno...his face doesn't match his age...he's got a perpetual puppy face

boopster · 09-17-2010, 07:56 AM

What a sweet face! Don't you find it awfully hard to give your foster pets up when the time comes?

Michele, the Rescue worker who sent me the photos, said not to be fooled by the pics, that in the pics he looks like a puppy.

Can't wait to see him "in person"

Rhetts_mama · 09-17-2010, 08:01 AM

What a doll. Thank you for being his guardian angel until he gets his furever home.

it is hard, which is why we ended up with the dachsies we had. Other than one that was adopted out we ended up keeping the dacshies until they passed away (two of them ended up with us for 10 years!)

But, I have told myself that no matter how much I love the fosters they are fosters and here temporarily. Because if we adopted a foster then it would be one less foster home, because three dogs would be our limit (and we already have Lil Bit and Beamer), and the rescue group does need foster homes.

Boy, time seems to be going by so slowly today

LDandPasquale · 09-17-2010, 08:13 AM

Aweee cant wait to see more pics!! His face is absolutely adorable!!

MyBabyFynnlie · 09-17-2010, 09:55 AM

Congratulations!!! I hope everything goes well!

Good luck!

Here's wishing the best for you and Mr. Reno. It's sad that as cute as he is, he would just be set aside. I think he will be loved from now on.
