It's been my experience with fostering and adopting that the dog you initially meet/bring into your home may not be the dog you have three weeks later after they've settled in a bit. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of. I fostered many dogs when my children were small and I was very careful even after I thought everything would be fine. Partially because I didn't know what baggage the dogs were carrying, but mostly because dogs are dogs and kids are kids. If you choose to adopt, be cautious and be patient. Unfortunately there is no way you can build a relationship with this dog after only a few meetings. Trust must be earned, both by you and by the dog. Wishing you the best of luck.

I went today and took her for a walk went great! Loaded her up in car to head to petsmart she was whining and seemed like she had some separation anxiety so we stopped at a park again she did great this time needed minimal help to get in the car. We went on to petsmart. She was still anxious showed no signs of aggression paid no mind to dogs or people went up to a couple wagging and licking. We sat outside for about 30 mins she would only go in the first set of doors before she wanted to run out. My goal is to take her out a couple more times this week I want her to be excited to go out with me and trust me to go into places. I do plan on bringing my oldest son on a visit. She was raised with children and I have seen her with my friends children whom are going to be adopting her GSD friend. I plan on after accomplishing all these tasks to bring her on a trip to my home to check things out.

I was pleased with the visit today we went for a walk she did great put her in the car and she showed sings of what I believe was separation anxiety from her gs dog she was raised with whined the whole time. I stopped at a park we got out walked around she did great and only needed minimal help getting in car this time. We continued to petsmart she was wonderful paid no mind to anyone or dogs went up to a couple people wagging and licking. Wasn't ready to make it past the second set of doors I feel she had had enough stimulation so I didn't push her we sat outside and just watched people coming in and out not one bark nothing. Jumped right in car when we left but was happy to be back "home" I am hoping with a couple more trips I can earn her trust and eventually take her on a trip to my little farm to see what she thinks
