First time foster
I’m fostering for the first time a sweet but extremely anxious 2-3 year old girl. She has a lot of fear of other dogs, which shows up as aggression when we walk her past other dogs- but we are working on this and she has improved. But at home- I have two other resident dogs and one of them, who is 14, is not nice to the foster dog. They’ve all been together for two months now and the 14 yo will growl at the foster, block her path, and sometimes nip at the foster’s face just when she is walking by. I tried to find another foster for her, but couldn’t get one, and I’m wondering how much damage we are doing with her here since she’s already scared of dogs- are we making it worse? I’m not scared about any actual real harm as foster dog is bigger, stronger and younger than 14 yo dog, but I wonder if we are just exacerbating her fear. At the same time I don’t know what my options are- she was super shut down in the rescue and generally seems much happier to be here- so I’d rather not return her. Thoughts?
