I'm going into hospital for surgery on Sunday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Pepper, my nine-year-old border collie. Pepper is calm and happy with a daily walk.
I'm looking for a temporary foster within Essen. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Pepper 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
