People tell me they could never foster because they would get too attached.
I get attached. Sasha sleeps on me every chance she gets and I know every one of her weird little habits. And when she gets adopted, I will cry. That part is not a maybe.
But she came in wary and scared, and now she is calm and cuddly and brave. That change is the whole job. She was never mine to keep, she just needed someone to love her first.
And there is another dog at the shelter waiting for a couch like hers. If the feelings are what is stopping you, put your hand up anyway. Ask me how fostering works, I will tell you straight.
