My husband wasnt either. He had 1 cat as a pet and a gold fish that his dad over fed and killed before I met him! he was 21 when I met him and only had 1 pet his entire life . His parents HATE dogs with a passion. A very strong hate . But when we met and married I told him "there will be a dog in our family". Now we have 3 and he loves them more than life.
I hope you get the chance to foster!

my brat has the same problem. She was raised in a zoo - her DH has ZERO tolerance for anything furry - she had a cat when they met and he has since allowed her to bring home a second one that he now hates:( It's sad as I do want my granddaughter raised in a home with furry friends:( You are doing it the right way! The foster world will be glad to have you!

It will be a long campaign to convince him, but I'll give it a try.

RDavidP--
Great idea, come on over! There's nothing like a house full of excited rescue dachshunds with questionable potty skills to convince a non-animal person. LOL
I think I met Yolanda at MADP one year. My friend since college, Pete, and his girlfriend Linda are involved with DRNA and the "Phest" in Northern Virginia. (Linda is the official volunteer, she just coerces Pete into helping sometimes, as women will do!)
What about finding a local dachshund meetup, or even finding out what rescue fundraisers the local people who rescue doxies that are on this board do?
Yes, I've thought about the meetups, it just hasn't worked out yet. Most are in DC or NoVa, which is quite a haul for us. (Gotta keep it convenient if I'm trying to drag the big man with me!)
