The Q: Are you a foster failure? If so, what made you foster fail?
It’s the most joyful failure of all, and I know I’m not the only rescue chick that’s proud to have that failure under my belt!
It’s not uncommon to fall in love when you bring an animal into your life. Sometimes we fall fast, other times it takes a little longer, but the only thing I’m sure about is that you can’t control love. Love happens with or without your consent.
Thanks to all of you who shared the love stories behind your foster failures!
