Oh , darlin ', I am so sorry ! My first thought was to suggest eggs and cheese . Those are usually binding . But I bet you ' ve already tried those . I wish you the beat , and I hope you find some way forward from here . It can take awhile , but maybe you can get on disability . <| sep |> If they are looking for a cheap sweater , how about the food , bedding or health care the dog needs short term ? I feed my dog Orijen , she is up to date on every single shot she needs plus a few optional ones , and I ' ve spent over $ 4 , 000 on her in the year and a half I ' ve had her . That being said I am also looking for a cheap sweater . I price compare everything I buy for her other than food and vet care between Petco , Chewy , and Amazon from treats to beds to toys . Just because you don ' t want to spend a ton of money on a damn sweater doesn ' t make you incapable of providing for a dog . I ' m not going to go out and spend $ 80 on a dog sweater when I can find a cheap one for $ 5 $ 15 online . One doesn ' t take on an expensive project looking for cheap . If you want cheap , don ' t foster a dog with multiple problems . I ' m certain there are fosters available that will slobber love on you on the cheap . As already stated most sheltersrescues pay for everything while a dog is being fostered . The dog literally just needs a place to live until the get adopted whether it ' s a week or 6 months because it had a medical issue . They ' re not going to pay for a sweater so looking for a cheap sweater for a dog that may only be with you for a few weeks makes sense . If I was fostering and the dog needed a sweater I ' d be looking for the cheapest one too .
