Anyone else foster any dogs? I have temp foster before but now I have this dog full time until she find her forever home. Is it possible not to get attached? Any suggestions for this first time full time foster mom?
It's almost impossible not to get attached! Especially when you have them for awhile and you see their progress! I usually always when they Do find a forever home, take them to their greet the first time and then take them to their new home. There's ALWAYS tears when I get in the car and drive off!! You just have to remember you are helping them beyond belief (possibly saving their life) and you're doing that so they can find their forever home and then you can save another one! And.... occasionally a foster ends up as a foster failure and just never leaves 😂 It's rewarding but so can tear your heart out!
Any suggestions for this first time full time foster mom?
@TexasGrown : Never look them straight in the eyes ! If you do look at those sad little eyes you'll discover that little dog just found his forever home !
I'm a foster fail 2 times over. I love the adult dogs and didn't want a puppy so.... I figured I was safe in trying to foster a puppy- WRONG- I'm now a proud owner of a 9 month old puppy 🙄. My problem is not only do I get attached BUT I spend so much time and effort training the dog I don't want to start over with another dog. Actually the rescue organizations love foster fails because they know the dogs go to great homes!!! Downside is there are never enough fosters!! Enjoy!!
