    Thanks everyone! Nelly really is an affectionate little sweetie and I am sure she will find a good home pretty swiftly She is already on Petfinder and we will take her to an adoption day in town next Saturday. Each dog that we foster takes a piece of our hearts with it when we have to hand them over but it is a great feeling knowing we have found the dog a nice loving home for ever!

    Oh, the personality of Nelly. Maybe she is a keeper? I know I would keep her.

    Aawww - what a cutie Nelly is. I definitely see the Shih Tzu in her! I'm sure she'll find a forever home in no time at all.

    Bless you for taking care of her while she awaits her special person to find her. I could never foster. I would fail miserably and end up keeping them all (like somebody else we all know here. )

    I would love to keep them all but sadly living on a fixed income precludes that. When or if they got sick the vet bills would cripple our budget but still, we get the pleasure of helping them out until a new home is found

    I think it is wonderful that you can give these pets a loving home until their furever home is found. If we had the room (and if I didn't work all week) we would "attempt" the fostering gig. But with Bruce being the one home all day its not possible. He has to work and can't devote the time to a foster. The four we have is enough.

    I am sure Nelly will find a home quickly. Maybe quick enough that you won't become too attached......yeah right.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
