We haven't been a Foster Failure yet but have been close a couple of times! I just told my other half this morning that I will let Kringle go back to the shelter when it is time but if he isn't adopted within 14 days, we WILL be adopting him. I was met with a blank stare. . .

I am unable to be part of the physical act of returning our fosters to the shelter. I stay home, cry a little (ok, a LOT!) and hug my fur babies. I know that I am just a bridge for these throw aways; I only get to keep them for a little while. My job is to give them a safe & warm place to live, food in their bellies, sometimes teach them some manners and pour love all over them so they know that not all humans are bad and that they are worthy of being cared about. I know I can't keep them all but I sure can love them all. Once the fosters return to the shelter, we are active in getting them adopted. We help network through the shelter's social media page and it is really helpful when the foster family posts about the animal and can actually answer questions for the potential adopters. I am happy to say that ALL of the dogs we have fostered have been successfully adopted within 1-2 weeks of returning to the shelter!!
