  1. It is sooo incredibly rewarding to be a foster❤️🐾 My family foster failed 4 times 😆❤️🐾 Seeing them open up for the first time is soo amazing. My first dog was just like Joey, she welcomed the fosters and helped them feel at home. This was a beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭🐾🐾🐾 I can’t wait to start fostering again, just waiting for the right one 🤗💯🐾✨😘

  2. Our dog was the sMe for the first few months. He always looked so sad, and now he hollers when i leave him out of whatever im doing. He's a beagle spaniel mix❤

  3. Lady, I have been bribing a stray for 2 months! She still runs. It’s getting cooler at nite and she has short hair. She only wags when she gets the peanut butter bones. She is so happy with that. I’m at a loss. I have to have hip surgery and won’t be able to feed her for awhile

  4. I understand one dog teaching another dog, I had a stray that didn’t know how to play, play with a stick or ball, until another dog showed how, he was ready to play ball any time of the day after.

  5. This made me so so emotional I had a basset hound as a Child every memory has my Lazy Daisy Mae in it she was such a protective loving dog we grew up together from 6 months old until she passed when i was 13. Man i miss that girl and im so thankful you are able to make sure he has an amazing rest of his life ❤

  6. Excellent, and yes best way to get trust is get down, sit on the floor and wait for the pup to come to you. I was in animal rescue for over a decade. For strays I never chased them or try to call them, I would put out a trail of food leading to a bow near me, I would sit on the ground and play my guitar with my back to the pup. Sometimes took a couple days, but eventually they would come up to the bowl and would lay down close to me. And eat from my hand. Good times.😁👍🙏
