Gloria,
I don't know how your schedule is. Can you try to take someone and search together around the building of the foster house- basemet, etc.
One week is not a long time but since he was not back, it means that he is getting food and water from somewhere.
Some people leave food in front of their houses for any wild animals they feed. Are there houses around the foster home, just go and talk with people.
Good luck again and don't give up. I wish I had your problem instead the one I have right now with Jersey.
Stan
