Princess has been in her adopted home for three weeks. She now has dog and cat siblings, as well as wonderful human parents. Her parents were kind enough to share an album of photos with me (so they own the copyright on these pictures, in case anyone cares). It does my heart good to see that Princess is obviously well cared for and extremely happy.
People always ask me if it's hard to foster. They wonder how foster parents can bear to bring the animals into their home, love them, and then give them up to new families. And the truth is, it can be hard, especially for dogs or cats that are particularly special or have lived with you a long time. There are two things that make it bearable. The first is knowing that finding a home for one foster opens up a space for a new foster, and one fewer animal at the shelter will be put to sleep. And the second is pictures and stories like this one. When I take in a foster like Princess, all I want for her is to be happy. And I can see that she is. It's not so hard to see your foster go into a new home when you know that it's the right home.
Here she is with her siblings. What a cute trio!
Be a good girl, Princess!
