<human>: Hi Doggit!

My wife and I have been fostering Hope ([pictures here] a few nights each week. We are seriously considering adopting her full time. It would be the first dog for both of us and all we know about dogs we are learning from the foster program and our time with Hope. We both work full time (we're on Long Island, NY) so she would be home alone in our house for most of the day. Your thoughts on that are welcome....

Now about Hope. The program I work with thinks Hope is about 1-2 years old. She was rescued from a shelter in Kentucky. Before entering the Kentucky shelter, she had a litter of puppies (at an age they say was too young for her). Hope also exhibits signs of prior abuse by a man, as she is skittish towards new men she meets. Once she gets to know you (and realizes that you aren't going to hit her), she is the sweetest dog. She is fully house trained, doesn't chew furniture, and doesn't even bark. She is good when she meets other dogs too. It's their owners she doesn't really like meeting.

If we kept her we would seek some help for her to overcome her anxiety. She's just the sweetest thing. I put some pictures up to see if you have any ideas about what she is mixed with. They think she's a lab mixed with maybe a greyhound. If you can't see in the pictures, she has a little tuft of white fur on her chest, and white fur by her toenails (if that info helps).

I'm happy to talk more about her! I want to keep her but my wife is concerned that it would too drastically change our lifestyle, and concerns over Hope being home alone all day and being bored all the time. As I said, this is a new experience for both me and my wife. Anything you have to share is welcome. Thank you!

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
