As a BRAT foster and coordinator, I know there is a need for auditing care and to ask if a foster wants to permanently adopt their foster. One puppy mill run can wipe us out. Just because we have the money, doesn't mean we go spend it all on one dog. I had a foster once abusing the system because she wanted the dog but not the bills. When the dog was finally moved to a new foster, the dog was adopted within two weeks. (Never invite my mother over when you have fosters.) I am not saying this is the case. But, it does happen. That is why we have checks and balances. When I was a district coordinator eons ago, I would always check if my fosters wanted to adopt their foster. A lot do adopt their fosters. Especially, the long term fosters. It never hurts to check.
What was the biting issue?
I have owned and fostered Cushing dogs, biters..... Some vets do try to take advantage of the situation. When I mentioned limited funds, their recommendations always change. Raw diets, did not work as Cushing dogs tend to get more infections. Splitting meals and adjusting accordingly help. If feeding chicken or beef, it must be thorougly cook. Each dog ate a different diet. Add thyroid issues and it made for interesting feeding times.
We feel for you and your situation. But, don't take it out on the group. This is a good group and we all have issues with certain policies. We just have to communicate with the board or deal with it.

6 yr old female named Peanut in IL will be on the BRAT website once her fanconi test is done. Her foster does have her on Facebook if you want a sneak peak.

Mine did the same thing but they said she may have a tumor or cancer. It came down to incident where Little Debbie came up missing. I came home from work and We could hear her yodeling. I looked all over for her. It was snowing outside. My son and I realized we didn't check the window wells as we have a doggie door. She had climbed under the bench that covered the window well. She was stuck and covered in snow. We didn't know how long. I got her out. She walked away like nothing happened. The outcome could have been worse had I not come home. We took a look at her quality of life and if we could keep her safe. My cuddle buddy could no longer be cuddled. We did what was best for her and the pack.

Do you have a picture you can share of Declan?

I had one that looked like that that some idiot docked his tail. DNA test is the way to go.

I just asked to see a picture. It is nice to put a face with the dog.

What happen to his paw?

Awww. Love the wrinkles.

Brat people. Remember, the Memphis pups. Their parents had pups on the first heat, aka 7 months old. I had one of the girls and she went into heat the day before surgery. The other girls in the liter went into heat right after her. I had her dad fixed 2 weeks before. Can you imagine if I had waited to fix dad? When to spay is a tricky question that should include a talk with your vet. Each vet may have their own policy as to the right time to spay.

Checked the retired. Too old. The others were were wrong color.

Need playmate for 1.5 yr old male basenji near IL or Wisconsin. Must be non alpha as have old alpha female. Already checked BRAT spreadsheet. Try Googling. What a joke. Breeders need to remove old obsolete posts as do this website.
