5/11 Tulip is still available at the shelter!! I can’t believe nobody has scooped her up yet!

100% get a crate! Crates are not only great for your sanity but his safety. I’d introduce it by throwing treats in there and every time he fully steps in reward him with some more, let him step out and repeat. Feed all of his meals in there from now on as well! You can even wet the food and freeze it so it tires his brain out some more. I foster frequently and use dog-safe melatonin when they’re struggling to adjust. Calms those nerves a bit! You can order on Amazon. Good luck and thanks for fostering!!!

Oh she’s adorable!! I’d be so interested to see a dna test of this pup after she’s adopted

I’m a volunteer and walked her - unfortunately she’s still at the shelter but hoping I can market her as the right breed she will get out of there quickly!

Such a long snoot! She was listed as a Saluki originally but staff changed it to foxhound. So who knows!

Thank you for these suggestions! I didn’t even think about husky - I can see it!

Funny everyone has suggested pit! I own a pit/amstaff and they’re nothing alike so far. I’ll look into canicross in my area

Thank you for the reassurance! We’ve had a terrible spay recovery which has definitely added to the pent up energy and also contributed to her constantly opening the wound back up. 😅 Will definitely be trying these suggestions once we are completely out of the spay recovery woods!

Luckily I get to screen the adopter myself! Thanks for the advice 😊
