Temporary foster for Archie while Rowan recovers in hospital
Looking for a kind foster home for Archie; food and vet costs will be covered.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia1,431 views
I'm going into hospital for surgery on Wednesday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Archie, my four-year-old retriever. Archie is gentle, house-trained, good with children and other animals.
I'm looking for a temporary foster within Newcastle. 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 hope life is good to you.

rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Makati.

You're not alone, Rowan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Onitsha donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Iloilo City.
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Rowan. Poor Archie, hope they feel better soon. Blessings.
