I'm going into hospital for surgery on Monday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Archie, my four-year-old retriever. Archie is a lap-cat who needs a quiet home. I'm looking for a temporary foster within San Jose. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
