Default Placed my first foster today!

So I'm feeling pretty good despite contracting the plague. Only reason I got our of bed, literally, was to deliver him to his new home :-). Just wanted to share

Congratulations! Sorry you're not feeling well, was this the dog that you posted a video of not too long ago (dominance/submission)?

Congratulations!! I know the feeling, have had 15 foster dogs total. It became harder and harder to say goodbye so I have stopped.

Congratulations. That is a great feeling!
Getting updates on former fosters is next on my list of favorites.

Ah - watching your foster dog go off and be successful with his/her new family is a feeling that no amount of money can buy.

For those of you who have never tried it, I highly recommend it. Knowing that you played a huge part in saving a dog's life, and helping him get ready to be adopted is such a feeling of accomplishment.

I just placed my most recent foster last Saturday, and I cried, but just a little!

Heartfelt congrats to you and your former foster dog. May he and his new family have many, many, happy healthy years together!

Hope you feel better soon too!!!!
