It's been almost one month since my 13 year old furkid left us. And once my heart is in a better place, I've contemplated on being a foster home for older big dogs. Going to take some work, our home was in "senior citizen" mode for my boy (access ramp included). But that could be a bonus for an older dog waiting for a home.
Have done the animal transport before, but that has been a while. Considering volunteering for that, too.
My furkid was a rescued dog... headed to the pound when we crossed paths 13 years ago. Someone had given him as a pet to a 9 year old, who in turn, couldn't take care of him.
Hats off to those of you that help our friends, no matter what the species.
