You would probably not want to foster either...your pup still needs his shots, not worth the risk...even for a sweet baby like this...
I understand putting out money and losing it...I have had to re-home a couple of my dogs after paying for vet bills and I have paid huge amounts for dogs that I eventually lost ... but the point is, when you are in this business, you PLAN to lose money sometimes! Especially small non-profits! I ought to know...LOL
Sure, it would be ideal if they can recoup the expense...but it is not likely. They want to charge the "going rate" for a Doodle, but they are asking a price that good breeders will get...breeders who KNOW the history of the dog, the parents and the health issues...and breeders who offer warranties. This poor boy comes with none of the advantages of a well-bred pup but with the big price tag. Makes me very angry...
