[quote=Anonymous]We have two rescues and a toddler.  I floated the idea of fostering to DH pre-kids, but he said no.  For us, the reasons are:

1.  DH can't handle the attachment issue.  That made fostering a non-starter to him.
2.  I wouldn't bring a strange dog into the house with small kids.  Maybe with older children, but absolutely not while they're still learning impulse control.  
3.  We have two rescues already.  One has a naturally shy temperament and is nervous around bigger dogs, and the other has an unknown past that makes her reactive around other dogs.  We have a good balance now, and I'd worry about another dog messing up the existing dynamic.  
4.  Time and energy are at a premium already.  Walking three dogs is harder than walking two, our schedules are VERY tight with daycare pickup and little kid bedtime.  I just don't have the free time (especially time where I wouldn't have to bring a toddler along) to meet up with adopters, even if the schedule was flexible.[/quote]
