Hi all,
So, a friend of mine has come upon a blind Dane female who is a year and a half, and was tossed into shelter because her owner said she was 'too much to handle.' She immediately asked me to foster since she knows I've always wanted to do it, but I am so, so nervous. On one hand, I know that I am fully capable of loving and caring for this girl, but on the other hand, I'm really concerned about a) how my boy will handle being around a possibly intact female, b) how my boy will be around a blind Dane, and c) all the implications that come with having a blind Dane.
I know that if I decided to pursue this further, Apollo would ultimately make the decision for me at the meet-up.. But I'm so nervous. I never imagined my first opportunity to foster would be a blind Dane!
I will have more details soon, but all I know now is that she's not in good shape; very far under weight, terrified, and dirty. It's breaking my heart know she's in this condition.. I'm so torn! What do you guys think? This was all so sudden!
I already have a second crate, plenty of room in my home and yard (although, I would need to adjust everything to be safe for this girl), and am financially ready for a new addition, but the possible medical bills scare me.. Sigh. I don't know what to do.
