I'm going into inpatient treatment on Sunday, for about 6 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Coco, my four-year-old border collie. Coco is calm and happy with a daily walk. I'm looking for a temporary foster within Ottawa. 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. Thank you so much.
