Adventures in Fostering

I get asked about fostering a lot.
Most people ask me how I'm able to give my fosters up?
They say they would end up keeping all of them.
Let me tell you, after 31 fosters, we've had a few that  were difficult to let go.
First and foremost, these pups that come into our life aren't ours.
We take them in and do work with them to assess what type home would be the best suited to their personality and needs.
Not to say we don't  hug, cuddle and love them.
We sure do.
By the time they are ready to be placed in a forever home, we have a pretty good idea of what the pup needs and most of the time it's not our home.

Also, if we start getting too attached, we go over our mantra.
They leave us so we can take another.
There's always another.
