WIWhy I didn’t keep the foster dog I fell in love with ❤️🩹
While fostering Addie, there were no shortage of questions and comments from people about keeping her. “Surely you foster fail, she fits in so well” and “How you could you possibly give her up when her and Winnie have bonded so much?”.
When people say stuff like this, it reminds me of all of the dogs I’ve had to say goodbye to in order to help the next. The truth is, Winnie and I fell in love with each and every one of these dogs while they were in our care. As hard as it was to say goodbye to Addie, I knew that doing so would allow me to open up our home to save another dog, just like her 🤍
If you’re considering fostering and it’s within your means - do it. With holiday season upon us, the number of puppies and dogs in shelters is overwhelming - not just in Australia, but all over the world. Not only do you directly change a dogs life, but every dog that is safely placed in a foster home takes pressure off rescues and shelters, and creates more space for them to save another dog.
Falling in love with your foster dog is normal. Just remember that saying goodbye to that foster dog will allow you to say hello to many more dogs worthy of help in the future 🤍
