11. Yes. I have a girl that started out as a foster about 7 months ago.

She is small. Some kind a pug mix. The rescue I donate to called me to ask if I could foster her after being pulled from a high kill shelter. Her papers said she was 11 and a good girl. She truly is the sweetest girl. When I got her she was bewildered and shut down. She was barely eating and had a cough. I know someone loved her because I could see she was taken care of including her teeth. After a few days with her I knew I wasn’t going to be able to let her go. My other baby passed on the day after Christmas. It was awful. She got me through it.
