It was nice that you pointed out that some dogs, even if conscientiously handled at grooming time for years, may still be fearful/nervous when being groomed. It isn't always from owner/groomer "abuse" or maltreatment.

[@angelofdusk13]

Diego is such a sweet boy! I got my shih tzu Kiki 8 years ago. I got her as a puppy in January, and in April of that same year, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. The next few years were the hardest of my life. There were days I didn't think I could go on. Kiki was always there for me. She was so happy to see me, so joyful, so eager to play, so eager to cuddle. She relied on me. She NEEDED me. And I made a promise to her that I would always take care of her. When things got really bad, I held onto that promise, because I knew if I went away, she would never understand why. I owe my life to my little dog. To this day, she is a light in my life. I will always be grateful to her, and all she wants from me is to sit on my lap for hours, and to get her belly rubbed every so often.

[@mandiwolfe6631]

I was just like your sister -- only had big dogs for my entire pet life. Then, I somewhat reluctantly fostered a miniature pinscher after my dog had passed away. TOTALLY became a foster fail! Within a month, we officially adopted and this crazy lil min-pin has been our beloved for 9+ years now 😂

[@Sagan_Starborn]

Oh, my heart! Such a lovely story!

[@johnsmithking]

"Mini pin" 😂

[@Fenux77]

The goal of fostering a dog is to keep it safe and alive until a forever home is found. This sounds like success to me. :-)

[@superaarthi]

Foster fails are so fun, it just feels like they found their way to your heart without you even trying or expecting it! My friend's first dog was a foster fail- he didn't expect to get a senior pet, but 14 year old Bichon Zoey needed someone to foster her temporarily, just until they could find a permanent foster. The way she followed him like a shadow, as if he was her entire world... the change in him was visible, he no longer came home to an empty house wondering if he mattered to anyone. They quickly became inseparable, and he became so much more animated and talkative when Zoey was at his side. It became clear he wasn't letting her go 😜 They both rescued each other, really 💓
