Episode 10
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
“I could never foster, I’d get too attached!” It’s one of the most common reasons people give for not fostering a shelter or rescue dog. But what if getting attached isn’t the problem? What if it’s actually the point?
In this episode of The Rescue State Podcast, Kim talks honestly about the emotional side of fostering from foster failing with Daphne to successfully saying goodbye to dogs she deeply loved, including Bergy, whose incredible story you can hear in Parts 1 & 2 of Season 2.
Because fostering isn’t about learning how not to love them. It’s about giving a dog safety, stability and love during one of the most uncertain chapters of their life and sometimes loving them enough to let them go.
We’ll also walk through what first-time foster parents can expect, how fostering helps dogs outside of the shelter environment and why saying goodbye can ultimately make room to save another life.
If you’ve ever thought, “I could never foster because I’d get too attached,” this episode is for you! You aren’t losing your foster dog. You’re completing the rescue. 🐾
Together, we can turn compassion into a movement and create a future where every animal matters.
