My not-so-secret passion
I have volunteered with Pekingese Rescue of South Africa for the past two years. Several Pekingese came to me as fosters; some I adopted, others I cared for until they found forever homes. The majority of fosters I have taken in are special needs Pekingese. Mostly severely traumatised and aggressive towards people. Never before have I taken in a foster who did not settle into my pack within a few minutes until this past Sunday. Coco and Chanel were taken from a breeder about two months ago and found a forever home immediately. They, however, refused to be cuddled and shied away from people. Their forever home, unfortunately, turned out to be the opposite, and after only two months with their new parents, they are now in my foster care and up for adoption again. Why? Because their new parents had to move house and the place they found does not allow pets. This is a discussion for another day. I did not realise how badly...
