I am one of these happy foster failures! And one day, we will get another foster (and if we fail again, so be it!!)

Love these myth-busters! It’s important for fosters to partner with supportive rescues. I’m a 2-time foster-fail. Most recently with my beloved daughter Cali from your amazing rescue family. THANK YOU. ❤️🐾

I'm wondering what you think about fostering from a shelter with no plan past a temporary foster situation? While I 100% understand how great it is to foster from a Rescue, I see dogs at the city shelter go to temp foster for a month or 6 weeks and then get returned, as planned. (Athena, for example.) I'm beginning to wonder if this is beneficial for the dog or not? Is it good, or is it disruptive? They seem depressed and confused to be back.
