Hi Folks

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU - this site has been invaluable to me.

I am a volunteer cat and dog fosterer for a charity - we foster animals out of homeless, domestic abuse and emergency illness situations (social work deal with the children, we take on the animals). I haven't fostered a staffy before and this site is an amazing font of info and knowledge for us newbies. My first foster was a Rottweiller and their site/forum/FB page was equally fabulous and makes my life so much easier when I've no idea what wee beauty will come through my door next. I've been a cat and dog owner for years but never had pure breeds.

Anyway, thank you so much.

PS when I'm in a position to have a dog(s) full time myself, a staffy and a rottie are what I'll be getting - they are just brilliant.

Helen - Dundee, Scotland :-)

PPS - I'll be sending this site to her real mummy so she can benefit from the help and advice as much as I have, when the wee one goes back home.

Staffies are just awesome and I'd never have considered one before fostering. Holy crap what an amazing breed I'd have been missing out on :-)

Cheeky and clever indeed. Layla's mad half hours are awesome - until reading this site I thought she'd suddenly had a stroke!! She is hilarious :-)

Zoomies?!?!?!?! OMG - I thought she had suddenly taken ill cos it just suddenly happened - I'm guessing that's cos she is getting used to me and can let her hair down but I won't lie to you, I thought I had a schizo dog on my hands for a split second. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen and can't wait to catch it on video :-)

What a brilliant thing to do, Helen. Is that a centralised charity you foster through or something you do on your own?

Welcome from me and the crew

Yes I do it through Pet Fostering Service Scotland. I've had a Rottweiler, a Chihuahua and 8 cats so far (and the wee Staffy of course) :-)
