Since most universities don't accept pets, I would have to leave the dog behind or give up the dog completely if I fully owned a dog. With fostering, I don't have to commit to 10 years + with a dog and I still get to do almost everything I want to do, and probably more. With fostering a dogs, I would be able to work with many different breeds for training and figure out how to help different problems and situations.

Pros:

- you get to save a life each time you
