I know exactly what you're thinking. "But isn't it going to break your heart to give up the dogs?" My fiancé and I have heard this from friends, family members, and colleagues alike when we tell them of our intentions to foster dogs.
The answer is yes. It will break our hearts. Into a million pieces. We'll cry. We'll miss the pitter patter of paws running through the house. We'll long for the warm body curling up next to us. But the reality is that another warm, furry body with pitter-patter paws will be saved from an untimely death and will find its way into our open home and open hearts.
And the truth is that the pain of doing nothing to help these dogs is a hundred times worse than the pain of giving up a dog to a good home could ever be.
Wonderful blog!I'm so proud of you and Jonathan for becoming foster parents, and very honored to be a part of this adventure!
