I'm going into inpatient treatment on Tuesday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Coco, my four-year-old beagle. Coco is gentle, house-trained, good with children and other animals. I'm looking for a temporary foster within Cape Town. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Coco 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.
