Foster Home Urgently Needed near Wheaton, IL

[Adrianne Matzkin]

DRC got an urgent call from a shelter. A 3 year old doodle was dumped there because their doodle ate a kids sock and had an obstruction. A house filled with kids + they knew their doodle was a sock thief = we can't afford the surgery so please put the doodle to sleep.

REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

All our foster homes are filled and this girl needs a home where she can recuperate from her surgery. We don't know much about her other than she was great with their kids. Cannot say if she has been socialized with other dogs but for at least awhile she will need to be kept quiet to recoup from the surgery.

Can anyone help get her out of the shelter and give her a place to lay her head, away from shelter germs and madness, in a home with good groceries and love???\

email me at [e-mail]

Thank you!!!!!!!

I knew that there would be responses to help this girl but I just can't believe that we have had 4 offers to foster!!! I have literally been reading the emails with tears flowing down my face!!! 

For anyone interested in fostering this girl or any other doodle that needs a temporary home filled with love, belly rubs and good groceries, please send me your foster application. As a 501(c)3, we must go by the rules and have your application on file. Not that I don't know you to be a fantastic doodle parent, we all have rules that we must follow.

Please know that DRC pays for all approved vetting and grooming and if the vet will take our credit card over the phone, you do not have to lay out any money. 

For anyone not sure about fostering, please read the following link. YES, sometimes it is hard to say goodbye to a foster doodle but knowing that you have saved that doodle (sometimes literally from death from a kill shelter) and have given them the love, good groceries, some basic manners and the opportunity to trust humans to know that their life is going to be a fantastic one makes up for your tears. I know because I have been and cried all the time. I have been trying to figure out how many fosters have been through Case de Matzkin and I am not sure. There is only 1 that I am truly heartbroken to not have been good enough to stay with us. Carol Scott has my Lola. The only reason she did not stay here is that we were not the right home for Lola - she needed to be the only doodle in the home and obviously that is impossible - and that is exactly what fostering is about. It is about the doodle and not about the family.

Thank YOU for offering to help get this girl outta there and into a warm home to recoup from thoughtless, stupid, uncaring people!

Cathie you are so sweet!!!!!!! Thanks for stepping up.....I AM SO SORRY I should have posted about the no kids policy for fostering.....sorry.i didn't mention that on our site..my fault totally

[Cathie & Family]

Oh Yes that is a big policy.  Ok well now I know, thanks.

Atleast she will be getting some unconditional love and care, thats all that matters.

You are so sweet !!!!!! From what the policy says no children under 12 in most situations.. I can't wait until you have your PPD in your arms!!!!
