I hope it works out and you are able to foster a dog. Hopefully you are right and your husband will want to adopt it! That’s a great idea! I hope it works out and you are able to foster a dog.

We aren't where we can do that right now (no dogs allowed), but some day! I think I could talk my husband into it if it was a temporary situation. I'd get my "dog fix" and help out a lovely dog and rescue or shelter. Maybe he would fall in love with the foster dog and we could adopt!! :) I really love the idea of fostering a dog!

She's so laid back and chilled, despite living with a mastiff pup (so pooped after 20 mins he can barely get back in the car) and a MastiffxGreat Dane who is more active and has a couple of 30 min walks a day. He'll play fetch for 20 mins, then be too tired to run anymore! Highly recommended if you have the space!

I get really tired of trying to explain to people that the adorable little small breeds that we have available for adoption are often not a wise choice for a good family dog.

Happy to hear you are considering taking in another dane, although I don't know how you do it. I don't know if I could handle two! Glad you liked the post. That means a lot to me!

Not only is she a Dane but she is black and statistically people leave black dogs behind in the pound... We only have a small RSPCA pound here but after your story Ive arranged to see them Wednesday. Im home now so taking in another Dane would work... Well researched post and one of your best mate... it reminds me what damn good, caring people are out there... we hear so many negative storys with neglected dogs... well done!
