[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 376809, member: 4264"] Is there a no kill shelter in your area or nearby area? Many no kill shelters have problems when they are full, because they don't euthanize therefore can't house new animals. Therefore they have foster parents to take the overload, and these people are screened well and are accustomed to not having the animals permanently. If this exists near you, you may be able to use that route to locate a foster parent and eliminate the fear of trusting the wrong person. Also, if you do post something in vets offices, you are always able to ask the person for references (they shoudl understand completely) and permission to ask the vet about them etc. If you located someone who has pets themselves, sometimes simply seeing their home and their own pets can be a real indicator. Healthy, happy, obviously well loved and treated is a pretty good indicator that they aren't going to abuse your animal. I think the risk can be much minimized by simple intuition and a few safety check type things. Just think how many people who are forced to rehouse their pets by putting ads in paper. They don't normally see the persons home or their current pets to ensure their pets are well treated. This is something it would be understandable for you to do if someone did respond, Know what I mean?? I guess I figure if its coming to the nitty gritty, I'd rather be uber cautious and hope to find someone who seems to offer a good alternative to losing them. I hope whatever happens that you can figure something out. I wish I lived nearby because I'd take them in a heart beat simply to be sure you could have them back when you are on your feet.
