“I live next to a horse farm. Everyday I take my dog to the pasture where the horses are eating grass. One horse always comes to greet us. I think that he likes my dog.”
Sharon's dog is Holling. He is 11 years old and he is a German Shepherd. Holling had a very difficult life and he was picked up off the streets, but now he has been living with Sharon and her husband since early December. They are his foster parents!
Fostering animals is very common in the United States!
People who are part of a foster care program take care of animals until a permanent home is found for that animal; until that animal is “legally adopted.”
When Holling was found, he was sick and exhausted. Holling is deaf and can't see very well. He can distinguish large objects (like his big blue ball) but can't see a tennis ball. Pople didn’t take good care of him when he was a puppy. Fortunately, there are good people in this world like our friend Sharon who volunteered to be his mom. Now Holling has a warm house and lovely foster parents.
Holling is waiting to be adopted! Maybe he could come to Brazil!
