A Foster Failure Defined

Meadow Soprano Armstrong | Our first foster failure

I’ve had several people write and ask what it means to be a foster failure. I found this hilarious but very accurate definition on the website Black Dog, Second Chance:

“Wanted: Foster Failures

Qualifications: Applicant must have a desire to love and help animals.

Salary and Benefits: Paid in dog kisses

Job Description: So what is a Foster Failure anyway? Simply put, it is a foster who has failed, miserably! No, it’s not what you are thinking. Here at BDSC, we LOVE Foster Failures. So much so, that we coined the phrase. A Foster Failure is a loving foster who just fell madly in love, head over heels, smitten with their foster dog and, well, decided they just couldn’t part ways so decided to adopt. We have quite a club going and we are always looking for new members. We’d love for you to join us! And ya know what the best part is? After you adopt your foster dog, you can still continue to help other dogs in need!”
