Could you foster Oscar? Paul is going into treatment

A short-term foster for a calm beagle in Düsseldorf while the owner recovers.

Düsseldorf
I'm going into hospital for surgery on Tuesday, for about 4 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Oscar, my eleven-year-old beagle. Oscar is gentle, house-trained, good with children and other animals. I'm looking for a temporary foster within Düsseldorf. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Oscar 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
