Have you ever heard of foster dog families? If you haven’t they are people who take care of a dog until they are adopted or until the family wants the dog. Foster families are a great way to adopt a dog! We got my dog, Stella, from a foster family. Stella was 1 when we first got her and she was already housebroken (housebroken means she is potty trained.) Getting Stella from a foster family was really easy and it did not cost any money. Stella is a great dog and I really recommend looking at foster families if you are willing to adopt a dog!
