Followers of my blog know that the two foster friends that have been staying with us have received an offer of a Forever Home. A nice couple that recently lost their senior Golden were looking for a young dog when they found our blog with Sandy and Abby. They decided that old Golden's do make the best friends. They have asked to meet and adopt Sandy and Abby Saturday morning. Below on the left is Abby and on the right is Sandy, relaxing after a hard day shredding toys.
We decided to have a farewell party and play date for Sandy and Abby. It looks like they will go to their permanent forever home on Saturday, so we wanted to have a special party for them before they leave. We invited our three cousins over to play for the day. Emma, Piper and Molly arrived to make the party complete and to enjoy a play date. Below are all seven Party Dogs, waiting for the resident treat vendor to do his job. Sandy and Abby are on the right.
We are going to enjoy our friends today and wish them a wonderful life tomorrow when they leave us. It has been a pleasure having these two well behaved and quiet ladies in our home. Being a foster brother is wonderful, but it has its downside. We hate saying goodbye to special friends that have become a member of our family. Of course there is a chance they won't get adopted, but it sounds like the deal is done.

The goal of the rescue is to take homeless dogs in, evaluate them and help find forever homes for them. They call it a "Foster Failure" when the rescue home will not give up their foster when the time comes. Molly was a foster failure of a different kind, when it came time to hand her over, she refused, she would not go with the new people, she fought to stay with her family until they gave up trying to pull her out the door. We know if we don't give up the fosters we are given, then we don't have room for the next homeless dog who may have to stay in the chain link kennel. The wonderful people that take in our homeless friends and give them a forever home, make it all worthwhile.

Saying good-bye is always hard. But what a good job you have been doing working to find these two a forever home. A party was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI know Mogley that you are right about letting the fosters go to make room for new needy ones that are in bad situations. And I know as much as your humans love all of the fosters, they make sure they get a new home that is right for them. As I said earlier, I am just a little selfish, I can't even imagine what all of the wonderful rescuers go through when it is time "to let go". High praises to all who put the rescued dogs above their own needs, because it is obvious they do just that.
ReplyDeleteThank your humans for the wonderful pictures. Absolutely priceless. What a beautiful group of Goldens. The funny thing is, any other golden could join the group and only add to the love. I suspect you already know that though!!
Have oodles of fun as I know you will at your playdate.
love,
Sophie
What a nice going away party for the girls. I hope they visit often. So glad they found their forever home. =)
ReplyDeleteWe applaud you and your family for your unselfish behavior and willingness to let the ladies go to a new furever home. It's another matter when the dog refuses to go because sometimes they have just been moved about to much and don't want anymore uncertainty in their lives. If Abby and Sandy are successfully adopted you will have done your job and will shortly be able to help more pups in need. We have all of our paws crossed; that makes it difficult to get around so lets get the show on the road. We're also glad y'all got to have a play date together as a grop of seven which is still two short of the nine that we have here everyday cause none of us are up for adoption that we know of but we could be wrong but we doubt it (whew(.

Hey Mogley,
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out if Sandy and Abby adopted their new family. I know you have done a spectacular job telling the girls how much this new family needs them and how important it will be for them to make their new family happy... and of course the new family will adore these beautiful ladies!
Your buddy,
