Les Go Foster Dogs

The Journey

Being an expat can be lonely. If you don’t speak the language and you’re half way around the world it can seem isolating at times. As mentioned, I’m a dog lover. However, I am a responsible dog lover. My nomadic lifestyle isn’t conducive to owning a pet. When my girlfriend informed me she was on her way to the Hanoi Pet Rescue to look at fostering a pup pup I knew I had to join. Les Go Foster Dogs!

Momo

Meet Momo. Her back story is hard to write and even harder to imagine. She was found with a zip tie around her muzzle. The rescue team tried to get her for 18 days. 18 days this baby went without food and water. 18 days this baby was in assumed immense pain.

She is traumatized. Insanely traumatized. When we first got her, we let her calm down in her safe cage. To get her out the cage (assisted by a dog trainer/specialist) it took much persuasion. Once out of the cage she checked the perimeter to try to find her escape.

She wont let us touch her, yet. Luckily, she has several dog role models to show here that it is ok. We just want to make her feel as safe as possible. I’ve never seen trauma in a dog until now. I’ve seen those feel good stories about cases just like this. I know she will become a complete dog once more.

Bun

Bun. This lil gem was the first dog we met at the shelter. She was kept away from other dogs because she had just had a litter of puppies and was irritated. Girl, I feel ya, I would be too. When my girlfriend saw her she knew I had to see her. The only pitbull in the shelter.

She was found wandering the streets about to pop out puppies. Her puppies have found forever homes. We haven’t gotten her yet because she had to get fixed. No more pushin out tit-suckin puppies! YAY! I am so excited to get her and find her the perfect forever home.

If you don’t love a pitbull smile you have no soul.

Yea, she popped out all them little babies. Her face is priceless.

I’m scared for this next journey. I just want to properly help these babies and find them a forever home. I know they’ll give me just as much joy to my life as hopefully I’ll give to theirs.
