Foster home needed: Meko

Meko is a young, male black lab mix (his hair is a bit longer than your typical lab) who came to us from a shelter in rural Iowa. He has had surgery to remove scar tissue on his elbows -- there are no lingering physical limitations, but he needs to have soft dog beds (or couches!) to lay on to protect his sensitive joints. He is currently hanging out at one of our doggy daycare partners which has padded floors and dog beds in the overnight suites, but he would love to hang his leash at foster home.

A few volunteers have been visiting him at doggy daycare and getting to know him. He's described as a little reserved, but not too shy to jump up on the counter and check things out. He went for a jog around Lake Calhoun last weekend and did very well after he got over the initial excitment. He did well greeting people of all ages, including kids. He gets along well with other dogs.

Meko sounds like he could potentially be a very easy foster. Any takers? Email pethavendogs@yahoo.com if you are interested.
