My rescue freaked out when I said I failed fostering this dog and was going to keep him. They were so worried about losing me as foster home and as the place they send the dogs with behavior problems. It's sort of weird that I'm keeping one of the few dogs I've had that didn't have any issues.

Congrats!

I've been close to failing a bunch, and I am sure sooner or later I'll fail too.

Congrats on your new boy!

I take it that no one was ready to adopt him? We were on the other end of a foster failure. We had been communicating with the rescue for a while, less than 12 hours before we were supposed to meet her, her foster decided to keep her. We were heartbroken and the rescue lost a working-dog family.

But then our boy Josh came along. I think everyone ends up with the dog they're supposed to have so it worked out for the best. It upset me a lot though, I don't know if we'll adopt again, maybe in the future, when he's older.

No. There was nobody even looking at him right now. As soon as people heard how big he was and how high energy, they hung up and looked at other dogs.

I think it's cruel to let people fall in love with a potential dog only to find out that the dog was snatched away from them by a foster failure.
