đ¨ Foster Needed for Teddy â Urgent Plea đ¨
We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for immediate foster placement for Teddy.
Teddy is being returned through no fault of his own. He has completed extensive training, learned excellent manners, and did everything that was asked of him. Unfortunately, his adopterâs lifestyle has changed, and instead of continuing the training and structure that was promised, Teddy began spending most of his time outside. Without the engagement and supervision he needs, he escaped the yard a few timesâsomething we were never notified about until now.
As always, we stand by our commitment: Fishyâs Friends Rescue will take our dogs backâno matter what. That is written into our legally binding adoption contract. However, responsible returns require communication and cooperation to create a safe, planned transition. A âhard returnâ with no notice is not always immediately possible in foster-based rescue, and we rely on teamwork to make it work.
Here is our current reality over the next two weeks:
⢠29 animals under active care
⢠11 nursing puppies with their mom
⢠4 foster cats
⢠5 personal dogs
⢠4 goats
⢠An additional foster household with 4 dogs
⢠Two households to manage
⢠And time away from our family during the holidays
This is a season of enormous sacrifice, and while Teddyâs adopter has agreed to keep him through the holidays, they have declined to assist with adoption events or placement efforts. That leaves us with very limited time and capacity to secure a safe landing for Teddy before his return deadline.
So this is our last plea.
đ Teddy needs a foster home.
He is trained, knows structure, and simply needs a family willing to keep him inside, engaged, and included. He does best with routine and human connectionâhe is not a backyard dog.
If you have ever considered fostering, this is the moment Teddy needs you most. A foster steps in when life changes, when humans fail, and when a good dog deserves better.
Please comment or message us if you can help.
Please share if you cannot.
Teddy deserves stability, dignity, and a soft place to landâand we are asking our community to help us make that happen.
