Well done to John and Viv for all their care and devotion to little Gem I see she has been with you best part of eight months it must have been like parting with one of your own dogs after all that time. I am sure her new home as been worth the wait and that she has a very happy future to look forward to. Good Luck Gem

We have just received a text phone message from Gem's former mum to thank everyone so much. She read our email with mixed emotions, of relief of sadness of happiness and most of all of admiration for John and Viv. xxx

I'm sooooooooo pleased for little Gem. I hope she is very happy in her new home and so rightly spoilt rotten.
John and Viv, how are you? I was heartbroken when i dropped Monty off, and I'd only had him here a few days.
You've done an amazing job with her. x x

You really must be missing her after such a long foster - I only had Alfie for 3 weeks and it was very hard. You have done a terrific job.

I'm sooooooooo pleased for little Gem. I hope she is very happy in her new home and so rightly spoilt rotten. John and Viv, how are you? I was heartbroken when i dropped Monty off, and I'd only had him here a few days. You've done an amazing job with her. x x there hard professionals there be ok ps who next then ;D FROM SITE BELOW How to get started First you must take a good, honest look at your domestic arrangements. You must talk the project through with every member of the household; if just one person is against the idea it is unlikely to work. Dogs can pick up instantly if there is tension in the household and will become stressed because of it. If you have any existing pets you must decide if it is fair on them to bring new dogs into their territory. If you have a problematic dog already another dog in the household can make the situation with that dog so much worse. Are your children dog friendly? Many dogs in need of foster have been through troubled times, they need reassurance and kindness, they do not need rowdy children who won’t leave them alone when they are told. The golden rule with children and dogs is that when the dog is asleep or eating the children keep right away, if you do not feel your children are old enough to abide by that then you should wait a while longer before volunteering to foster. With all that decided, your next step is to decide who to foster for. Contact your local rescue to see if they have a fostering system. Commonly a rescue will carry out a home check before allowing you your first charge. This is an opportunity to discuss procedure, should your foster charge need veterinary attention and also to discuss adoption procedures when a permanent home is found. The rescue should pay veterinary costs but not all will pay the feeding costs, this is something that needs to be taken into account. Similarly you will need to have a means of transport to get your foster charge to the vet should the need arise. All rescues will expect any existing household dogs to be fully inoculated and will ask to see proof of this. I have been fostering for many years now, each dog is special to me and I always have a pang of sadness when each one leaves. Letting go can be very hard but I firmly believe that fostering is by far the most productive way that I, as just one normal (ish) person, can literally save lives. No matter how many rescue centres there are or how many kennel spaces they offer there will always be times when they reach saturation point and dogs have to be turned away. The fostering system can be used for, amongst other things, an over spill network. www.oldies.org.uk/?page_id=25keithx
