Hello! I am new here to Pittsburgh and I would like to find someone who can look after my pets. I am hoping to go and see my boyfriend who is studying in Scotland over the holidays. I don't have exact dates yet, since I can't buy a plane ticket until I know that someone can keep them for me! I have two pets...a 2 year old dog named Scout and a 4 year old cat named Fiona. Scout is a 33 1/2 pound Beagle that I think is mixed with a Shepherd (like a Whippet in size). I don't have enough money to board them (plus I think it is kind of cruel) so I was hoping that someone could foster them for me while I was away. I am willing to pay, but I am not sure how much yet, so I thought we could talk about it. I thought it might be a nice job for an older high school student, a college student home for break, or even a family that is thinking about getting pets. If you or anyone you know that is trustworthy is interested, please email me at mratliff@email.unc.edu Thanks!
