Hi, my name is Candy. I am a dogaholic. I have a 10 year old pit bull, Nikolai, a 4 year old Terrier-mix, Santiago and a 6 year old cat, Kirby.


I foster for two resuce groups; A Rotta Love Plus and Secondhand Hounds. I currently have one foster dog, Tallula, through ARLP. She's been with me since February.


AND to prove my complete insanity, I am picking up a Cairn Terrier foster from Secondhand Hounds on Saturday. (adopted)


I guess I should mention that Niko has his CGC and one leg of a UKC Obedience title, but I stopped competing cuz it's BORING! I really need to get serious about training with Tigo (Santiago) now that he's proven that he does have a brain. We might try Rally.

I didn't know that you are with Secondhand Hounds! I have a Petfinder addiction and look at their dogs often.

Just started with them this month. My first foster dog was Louise. I had her a whole week...super, sweet little dog. Totally different than fostering a pit bull.

Hi!! Tallula is a beauty!

[apbtluvr70]

Thanks, Thax! She is a good girl but she has some resource issues with other dogs so it would be better for her to be an only dog with play dates; food and toy aggression. We're on crate/rotate here. It's taking longer than normal to find her a home. She's been in foster care for close to a year now.

Ruby prefers to be an only dog too; she's a bit reactive with other dogs. The rescue I got her from tends to pull those types of dogs, so they have their fosters for quite some time too.

Well, we don't focus on "reactive" dogs but the dogs from the bust were evaluated by BadRap reps and we ended up with her. Not sure of th*****cifics as I only foster and try to stay out of all the phone calls, emails, etc. She's really great out on walks and loves to play, just can't have any resources around when it's play time. Unfortunately, she is crate/rotate with mine because the little dog thinks he can take her and the "old" one doesn't want anything to do with her.

P.S. I did not cuss in my last post.... I typed "the
specifics"

Why'd you bleep me?

[Aimee]

That is odd. It's not anything I set up a filter for. Mine are much more amusing than that.

LOL What elicits the "outstanding human being" comment?

Bitch...I guess that is allowed due to being used to designate a gender? ;D


Just realized it is my firewall beeping me....
