I'm going into a rehabilitation unit on Wednesday, for about 6 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Archie, my seven-year-old beagle. Archie is a bit shy at first but really affectionate. I'm looking for a temporary foster within Kisumu. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Archie is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
