Foster Failure?

For those of us that foster animals for our rescues, it is not uncommon to take on a dog that truly steals your heart.  When an animal is in our care, we really see to it that all of their needs are met.  Food, water, shelter, medicine, basic training, and love.  They look to us for comfort and safety, especially when they come from a scary place like a shelter.  All of our foster animals are special, and sometimes it is heartbreaking to let the animals go even if you are assured that the animal is being adopted into a wonderful home.  

Sometimes, we fall in love and decide to adopt the animal ourselves!   Everyone in rescue eventually has a "foster failure."  That sounds like a negative term, but it actually is not.  It just means that there was such a wonderful connection with the foster parent and the animal, that the foster couldn't imagine their family without it.  The foster animal has found it's forever home!

We recently sent a group of animals on transport to Rogers' Rescue, and Micah was fostered at Isis Negron's home.   Needless to say, Isis fell in love and Micah has now a part of Isis' family.   She sent a photo of Micah and his adopted siblings.   SO CUTE!   Isis said, "He is an absolute perfect fit!  Our dogs LOVE him and so do we.  He's such a sweet guy and so well-behaved!!!"

We're so excited to see Micah in his new family, and so happy that we have a strong network of rescues to work with, like Rogers' Rescue!  We know that regardless if our dogs are fostered or adopted, they will always have a safe home.
