In short, yes it can be quite sad saying goodbye to a foster dog as you have invested so much, both in time and emotionally. However finding them a new home is the ultimate ambition of a rescue organisation and means we can help more dogs who are living in often poor conditions, just waiting for a foster place. Think of it as if you looking after the dog for their new owners, it's just that we haven't found them yet. New owners are often happy to stay in touch and seeing a dog settled and happy in their new family is just the most rewarding experience ever.
