Fostering, there is a term called "failed foster" and it appears our family will qualify. Asked to urgently help by Dachshund Rescue Australia to a mini smooth, Dex has slotted in so well, appears we will be adopting this boy at some stage soon. He has had four homes in less than 15 months, most would say red flags, not till you know his journey. Against my instincts, Dex is a back yard breed pup, sold to a person looking to breed herself. This person decided it would take to long to have Dex breed. So Dex was sold again to a gentleman that loved this pup, did everything right, but he had to surrender as he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and not a lot of time left. That's were DRA came in, instead of a pound this grand organisation asked us to help and our family is so blessed with this request. Our No1 was Eddie (our standard wire), we expected issues, challenges, problems, but all we got from Dex was a devotion and love. This fella has had tough time, he has shown nothing less than a friendly demeanour and a desire to be cuddled, be best buddies with Eddie and a lust for life. If you've read this far, thank you. We don't exactly know the future, but I'd encourage anyone to consider fostering where the circumstances lead you to believe it is right. We know Eddie's purity, Dex we don't. But this looks to be a journey ahead that our entire family will enjoy 🤗
🥳It's OFFICIAL ... Dex is now family, the adoption complete and Eddie has a younger brother. As a shortened form of the Latin moniker Dexter, Dex means “right-handed,” “skilled,” “clever,” or “favourable.” These meanings paint a picture of someone so competent, skillful, and quick that they might even be described as “dexterous,” an English term that derives from Dexter. My thanks to Dachshund Rescue Australia, we are blessed to have this little boy part of our home 🤗🤗
