Yes there's always a risk about becoming emotionally attached. But i guess you just have to keep reminding yourself that you can't keep your charge and that you're only doing it until they can find a better home.
I do think if you fostered say a new puppy without the 'behaviour problems' some dogs have, then there is a far greater chance of them being adopted very quickly and thus you wouldn't get too attached...
my first one had so many problems and it took about 3 months before he really started to trust me. Even now he doesn't trust anyone and growls when a stranger is near him. (so figured his chance of adoption was pretty slim and may as well keep him where he's familiar) but not all cases are like this!
anyway if anyone's off to the dog walk see you on sunday! (leaving the aggressive pooch at home, so will only have my timid scruffy little terrier!)

Hi Jen
I was the brunette working the lucky draw booth.
It was such fun Sunday.
Hope you enjoyed it. Did you win anything?
