Back in February we had a post called "
Sharing Some Joy" and when I got an email recently from April Grear I asked her about her fostering prison dogs and here's what she had to say:
Bonnie was my 4th foster dog for
Refurbished Pets of Southern MI.I hope to get another foster this week, it's always like receiving a
Christmas present as I never know what kind of dog I will be getting.
So far I have had 2 older males and 2 female puppies. Boxers will
always be my first love but learning about other breeds is interesting
too and Bella has loved them all. I read somewhere that 'Rescued is the
Best Breed'.
So here's what April sent me regarding her most recent foster Bonnie and some photos of her with Bella.
The pics are of my last foster, a Sheltie mix I named Bonnie. She was
around 5 months old when she came to us and she lost 8 puppy teeth in
the first few weeks she was with us. Full of energy and playfulness
there was never a dull moment unless the dogs were asleep. Bonnie is in
the prison training program and already has an adopter waiting for
her. One of my favorite memories of her is when she would 'hide' in
front of the TV and lay in wait for Bella to come back from the
kitchen. Her little butt would wiggle and she would pounce on Bella.
Of course after the first time Bella would stop before she got to the
doorway to the living room, maybe to make sure not to spoil Bonnie's
fun.
