Fostering a dog is the most rewarding and the the most painful thing to do. You invite a dog, abandoned, leaved in a gas station, shooted to kill him, starved to almost dead, and you give him the hand, and you teach them to trust humans again, and then when they feel at home you have to let them go, it was meant to be this way, but how you explain this to them. Every time I foster a dog i try not to get attached to them, but how can you do this, you see all what they been through, changing families for 2,3, 4 times, like you are replaceable, they tried kill them, leaved on the street (as it was an act of kidness, because maybe someone will find you and reascue you), it is very pain full to see them go. When i started this journey i was always happy when they found a family, but a lot of times after 1 week, 1 day or even 2 years, they give them back, the dog is not good enough, now every time one of our dogs gets adopted i just think what will happen, will they give him/her back. Doing this job teaches you a lot, humans are not mean to be trusted. I am not good at maths, i don't have many social skills, my cooking is bad, but one thing i want people to learn about me and my experience is give them time, teach them, and if you are not able to have a dog, don't have it, because every time they change family, they get more and more traumatised. Dogs are smart animals, they learn from what they see, so if they are not behaving like you want them to behave, maybe the problem is not them, IT'S YOU.
