Hi guys,
I've been following this thread for a long time, I love dogs, but end up with a ten hour door to door workday and never felt right about making a dog wait that long. So, I got my dog fix by sitting for friends and volunteering with the local Golden Retriever Rescue- RAGOM, Rescue A Golden Of Minnesota. Well, long story short, a volunteer with the rescue found about an owner neglect situation where a dog was tied outside and not being fed except by a neighbor. Guy finally gets evicted and the volunteer, another rescue and the sheriff go and get the dog. Because he's paralyzed and has special needs, he doesn't find a foster home and gets boarded at a great vet. The people at the vets office treat him very well, but the accommodations aren't really made for a dog who drags himself to get around. I start taking him for the weekends and finally in December tell the rescue what I can offer him and we all agree that even with my long days, it's a better deal for him, so now he's my foster dog!
His name is Tundra and he is a cool dude.
