Well, it's almost that time to say goodbye to yet another foster dog who has gotten into our hearts and stayed there. Baxter was a very 'special' case for us given his abusive history and his sweet, forgiving nature and his ability to overcome and move on. This makes it even harder to understand and want to love him even more. Baxter stole many hearts in the process of searching for his most perfect home. After just a few short weeks with us, and several applications and interest later, Baxter has finally made a decision and has found his home. He is going to finally get all the love and attention that he deserves and was denied in his short, young life, and will be very well socialized and experience many new things along the way. In the words of another LOYAL foster mom 'This is going to be the happiest, sad day' for all of us here. I know he will be greatly missed, but it gives us comfort to know he will be safe, happy and much loved unconditionally! That's what keeps us doing what we do and helps us to get through the tough times in rescue. The rewards are so great when they come. Good luck little man; my perfect little gentleman, in your new home.
When people say, 'I couldn't foster because it would be to hard to give a dog up' We say 'How can it be harder than knowing a dog died because no foster home stepped up?' and that's why we do it time and time again.
A Dog's Prayer: "Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in the entire world is more grateful for your kindness than mine. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. After all, you have your job, your friends and your entertainment. I only have you."
