I think the laws for Canada and the states have to be fairly similar--it;s all for the safety of the kids. As in, no knife blocks on the counter, cords to blinds need to be fastened. cleaners and medicines need to be up high or locked up. We have a pond in our horse pasture, but iti s fenced in. We have to put a gate up at the pool entrance. We have a rottie, but no issues there, the case worker met him and he';s fine, but he will be monitored since he is a large "dangerous " breed. (He;s a suck) the only concern is the size of the windows in the basement, where the extra bedrooms are. When the worker was here today, i asked what she thought our chances were, and she says she thinks we'll be okay. but it's up to the fire inspector. We have two exits out of our basement, and two different routes to access the exits. So, it;s a waiting game. If they don't like our dog, or they say we need to change out the windows (which would require tone of moola, then fostering would have to wait. We love our dog, and we essentially can't alter the windows. Its a deep basement with a poured concrete foundation. So I;m praying it all works out.
So, if this all goes through, would it be wise to pick up some extra clothes? Lice treatments? Advice please?
