From a Vet Set Go member: "When I was in 7th grade my mom let me foster dogs from Labs4Rescue in Killingsworth, CT. The first dog was a lab beagle mix who came from Mobile, Alabama. She was very sweet and had been injured in her front right leg, but it healed on it’s on it’s own incorrectly."
"She never lets it bother her though! I took care of her and scheduled vet appointments. I also made videos for her to help her get adopted. My cousins adopted her a few months after she got to my house. The second dog we fostered was named Polly, and she was a chocolate lab mix. I had to work on training her a bit because she was only one, and she did really well with it. She used to be a stray in Mobile, Alabama so I was working on keeping her out of the trash and not eating things she wasn’t supposed to, not jumping, and not being mouthy, because when she was excited and playing she would chew on your wrist. I took care of her and made her videos too and she got adopted a month later and moved to Massachusetts. My third foster dog was a Great Pyrenees lab named Gemma. She was very well behaved and super sweet, but likes to eat of counters and had bad separation anxiety. I had to find what worked to keep her calm while I was at school and my parents were working because she would go looking for us and get locked in rooms she wasn’t allowed in and tear up the carpet trying to dig her way out and crush te door knobs. Crates never worked because she could escape like Houdini even when we ziptied the edges and they stressed her out, so I learned eventually if I leave the radio on she will fall asleep, so I do that, and when I get home take her for a walk. My family all loved her, so we adopted Shiloh after a month at our house."
