AITA for fostering a Cane Corso?
Hi all. I live with a roommate who has a small poodle maybe 15-20 lbs. Me and this roommate don’t get along for various reasons she feels like I’m too demanding and I personally found her to be a mooch and irresponsible. My dog passed away 6 months ago and it was extremely difficult so I’ve been looking at fostering dogs.
There is a female 6 yr old Cane Corso who is extremely underweight (for context they should be 110-130 lbs and she is 70 lbs) looking for a foster. I’ve met the dog and she currently lives with a tiny Maltese and the two of them get along well despite size difference. She is extremely docile and well tempered I took her to the beach, restaurant, walking, etc. she has no pulling tendencies and is very obedient. I work during the week so I’ve even set up a sitter to drop her off at when I’m not home. Basically this dog will hardly ever be unsupervised which I know is important when fostering these breeds.
I ran this by my roommate who doesn’t like the idea of a Cane Corso specifically in our place because of the safety of her poodle. I asked her to give the dogs a chance to meet before making me turn her away, because I’ve seen the Cane is very sociable with other dogs. She agreed. The dogs met and there was zero aggression from either side and in fact the Cane was attempting to play with her dog by wagging her tail. My roommate was very defensive clutching her pearls about the whole situation and visibly upset when she came home and saw the cane sleeping. She hasn’t said anything about not wanting me to bring her after that meeting and I really feel like her discomfort is rooted in A) her issue with me and B) irrational fear. I don’t see why this should be a problem if the dog constantly stays with me and is never home alone. I already got approval from our LL so would I be the asshole if I foster her anyway?
