I've been doing this for nearly 20 years, watching all these dogs grow up is one of the greatest privileges of my life. The first 2 pics are the same dog, exactly 10 years apart. š
And the rest of the crew are a lovely bunch of coconuts. š
Have a great weekend everyone!

I was honored to be chosen as the Business of the Month for Nashwaak Village! Cool! Thanks so much!
Here's a story in 3 parts, and another reason why I haven't been posting much on fb anymore. I don't know if this is a scammer, a bot, or what... but they're getting sneakier in the way they try to get engagement from strangers in the comment sections. And lately, every time I post, some kind of fishy accounts weasel their way in. Be careful out there folks. Make heavy use of that block button.
These comments read like they're AI generated. Bye "Jimmy".

What an experience! I know this little spunky gal will make a great companion for someone looking for a couch cuddler.
"Mama" will be available for adoption at the Oromocto and Area SPCA in just a few short days.
Thank you, Mama. Xo

Tomorrow is the big day! 4 of the 6 pups will be up for adoption at the Oromocto and Area SPCA (the other 2 are spoken for already)
Black Betty: she is a middle of the pack type of personality, playful and sweet, would likely fit into a family with kids and other pets just fine!
Lil' Mama: she can be feisty and a bit pushy with her siblings, but she is also very sweet when handled.
Pancake: The biggest of the bunch, what he lacks in smarts he makes up for in looks. š¤£ He would likely make a great first time dog for someone.
Screamer: she was nicknamed this because as a tiny puppy she did scream when she couldn't find her Mama. She is the 2nd smallest of the bunch, and very sensitive still. While she is the most cuddly with people and kids, she would do best in an experienced home.

First time the puppies see REAL snow. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£

Snow Day!!
Daycare is cancelled for the day, and if you were scheduled to pick up your dog today, stay safe because there is no extra charge to wait until tomorrow.
Have fun, kids!!

Puppies and dogs and puppies and dogs!!
The puppies will go back to the shelter to find their new homes sometime next week! Mama will stay with me a bit longer before she is ready.
Dorito is slowly getting used to her new surroundings, though she is still quite skittish and skeptical. Taking things at her own pace, we have all the time in the world.
The rest of the crew in for boarding are big, goofy, and drooly š¤£š¤£
Have a great weekend everyone!

Day 1 is always the hardest...
Over a month ago, a friend reached out and told me a story about a little dog in need.
Say hello to my latest foster dog. She is a pug/chihuahua/terrier mix, just barely over a year old.
This is a private surrender, and I have agreed to cover all of her costs 'pro bono' until she is vetted, spayed, and ready to find her forever home.
Though she was very loved, she arrived with nothing but a leash and collar, and a small amount of food in a Dorito's bag. So, I think that's what I'll rename her...
Welcome to Foster's, Dorito. You're gonna be ok.

Puppy update! They're all doing great and those not spoken for by friends/family will be available for adoption in 2 weeks.
Please note, I am still incredibly busy as the "holiday season" has not slowed down for me yet, thus my few posts on social media. I will not be answering questions about the puppies or the mama if we are not already personally acquainted. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an application at the Oromocto and Area SPCA, if you are approved, they'll let you know.
Be the first to know and let us send you an email when Foster's Home for Dogs posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
In 2008, Fosterās Home for Dogs was created to offer an alternative for families who knew their dogs would do very poorly in a traditional kennel setting surrounded by dozens of other dogs. Over the years there has been a growing popularity with ādoggy daycareā centres and pictures of large groups of dogs running and playing and having a great time together are all over the internet. Some of those places are great, but, some dogs just donāt feel comfortable in that situation at all.
At Fosterās, we understand that not every dog needs or wants other dog friends. We are here for those dogs, and our facility is designed so dogs donāt even have to see another dog while here if they donāt want to.
Some dogs find may find change in their schedule very overwhelming. Some dogs have separation anxiety. Some dogs are elderly or have medical conditions and their stress levels need to be managed carefully. We are here for those dogs.
We only offer 6 spots for single or multiple dogs with a maximum of 10 dogs on site at any time. This low stress, low risk environment ensures they get the attention they deserve, and helps to keep their days calm, quieter, and with little disruption or traffic coming and going each day.
At Fosterās we understand that not every dog is cuddly, and not every dog needs or wants anyone invading their personal space. We are here for those dogs, too. With over a decade immersed in canine behaviour and reading body language, we can have a āconversationā and build friendship and trust with your dog, completely hands-free if needed, no leashes or collars or gimmicks. If your dog has ābite historyā and youāre worried about how they will react without you around, come see why weāre different.
All new dogs and their humans must come meet us first, so you can see for yourself and feel confident that your dog is in a safe, kind, and knowledgeable environment. Chris has over 15 years experience working with dogs, including rescue and rehabilitation.
Fosterās is committed to providing a force and fear free experience and as an associate member of ICAN, we adhere to their strict code of practice and ethics. http://companionanimal.network/uncategorized/code-of-practice/
While our primary focus is providing a much needed safe space and experienced one-on-one care for the dogs who need it, that doesnāt mean we donāt take happy-go-lucky dogs too! Their experience will be much more mellow here than the popular ādoggy daycareā setting though, as playgroup size is limited to a maximum of 4 carefully selected and appropriately matched dogs (if available) at a time.
At Fosterās we know that some dogs only like certain dogs, or maybe they are not spayed or neutered, have health, size, or mobility considerations, and shouldnāt be around certain dogs at certain times, etc. Since we are a small facility, that means the perfect match for your friendly or selectively friendly dog might not be here at the same time they are. I do have social dogs of my own who play with the guests often, but playtime with other dogs is subject to compatibility, and therefore not guaranteed. Safety is the #1 goal here, above all, at all times.
Foster's Home for Dogs is located just 20 minutes North of Fredericton in Durham Bridge on a quiet 5+ acre property backing on to over 100 acres of private forest and trails.

*Dogs must be at least 5 months of age and must provide proof of current vaccinations for Rabies and DA2PP. Dogs who receive any type of Bordetella (AKA Kennel Cough) vaccine must wait a minimum of 14 days before attending. In cases where a dog is at risk for vaccinosis, positive titer results and a recent (14 days or less) health check from your veterinarian is acceptable in lieu of proof of current vaccines. A dog who has never been vaccinated at least once can NOT be admitted for boarding.
