I’ve had my foster dog for over 4 months, though only 1.5 months has she been approved and up for adoption. I know that’s not a long time!! But I’m growing impatient, she’s my first foster and when I signed up for this I didn’t think I’d have her for so long, but now I feel like I’ve made a commitment to her that I refuse to break

She has her own social media page that gets decent traction, and we take her out with the “adopt me” vest where she gets a lot of love, but no one has seriously inquired about adoption. She’s older (8) and a 60lb hound who is still trying to learn her manners.

I guess I’m just getting a little impatient and nervous. How long does it typically take for an older pup to get adopted?

Hi all! I’ve been fostering a senior hound for about 9 weeks, and she’s finally been cleared health-wise to be adoptable. The shelter made me an “adoption ambassador” to promote her and help her find a home. They didn’t really give me any insight on how to do this, things that work, a “plan,” etc…
The shelter is incredibly busy (200+ animals right now!) so I don’t blame them. But I’m curious what folks here in the past have done to help find a home for their fosters!
So far I have social media posts and taking her out to hikes and breweries with the “adopt me” vest. Open to other ideas!
