It's better to return her than to try to make it work and neglect her and or treat her wrong or even abuse her. The previous adopters should just get a goldfish

@@lizxu322 I'd feel bad for that goldfish, too.

you said it.

@@lizxu322 I understand your train of thought but as a rescuer of COUNTLESS new family furries..don't adopt unless you are ALL in. Foster for a few day or donate your time at a rescue first . It's unfair to the pet you adopt to be shuffled around.

If you have a human child that’s a lot of work, you can have a dog that’s lots of work too!

What a sweet story of your best friend. ❤

Bless your heart for protecting and caring for your pet until the end. Someday, you will be reunited.

I grew up in Arlington tx. Really weird I suddenly saw two mentions of Arlington today. Maybe it’s a sign

You will see each other in heaven

My husky chose me as well, out of the litter of six. The other five ignored me completely. When they choose you instead of the other way around, it can be an even stronger bond.

Once she bonded with the husband, she became their dog. Giving her away would break her trust again.

The darn cheek that the shelter wasn't seeking a family anymore. What then? Would he just have stayed there in isolation? Then at that point a decision should have been made to rather set his spirit free and have him to sleep. We are all pro life as far as possible, but what was more cruel???

Hard to fathom crazy people. Of course love and patience. We know this works out in the end. She's so adoreable.

God bless your beautiful family!!!

My previous dog at 3 1/2 years old had 3 homes plus the rescue center when I adopted her, I could not of got a better dog had I tried, she died when she was 12 in 2018, a few months later I adopted a 7 1/2 year old Husky who was a handful and nearly went back several times due to aggression issues, now she is a big soft dog

Thank you for sharing that 😊.

Aww ☺️ nice 👍🏻 touching ♥️ story Angeles,thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing it & a happy 🙂 ending for you & your dog. 🐶 ❤

Good job foster Mom!!!! Foster fails are the best!!! So proud of ya 😁

❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾

Show us a picture of her. What a cute story

Aww that's beautiful. Cling close to each other and have a long happy life together. 😍😍🥰🥰

Amen to that ! 😉

Thank you for adopting this precious girl Chips Ahoy! - what a great name 😆 I hope she has many happy years with you and your hubby!! 🥰🐕

Eeyup.

Lucky dog to have you!!!

They mean it in a good way. it's like going to an animal shelter and picking just one pet instead of picking like 5. Their job is to rehabilitate animals because it takes a lot of time and effort and bring them to a new home no matter how gut-wrenching it is but they fell in love and said screw it.

Dogs are disgusting

What about you eating Chicken and cow

They should buy a soft toy! Dogs are sensitive and empathic, they need input, affection and love. It makes you wonder what sort of parents these people are to their children.

lots of people including dog owners seem to have absolutely no concept of respecting dogs, they just expect to be able to do whatever they feel like doing with a dog, and if the dog isn't happy about that, they think the dog is broken.

Some people are like that with children as well as pets. I've seen people have kids to fill some need or emotional hole for themselves and act like they are just excited to get some live doll to play with or something. Seriously do not have kids or pets if you are that selfish people! They both require a lot of work and patience and need to be respected as individual beings with their own emotions and needs.

Makes you wonder how the son was treating the dog if the dog (who now loves everyone) wouldn’t be around him.

" The guy said he only wanted to be outside and didn't want to spend time with his son." These are the very same people who will leave behind a dog or cat when they move because they think it is inconvenient to take them to the new place.

anyone else feel hungry

This was her foster family.

Or as they say ....a failed foster...

I I

That says all that needs to be said. They give us their hearts, there is nothing we shouldn't be willing to give them in return.

dogs seem to find socks oddly appealing ! Probably our smell, and easily attainable !.

And from me as well. Much love from Canada!

Lots of love and God bless from Australia🧡🧡🇦🇺❣️💚

So happy to see that you kept her. You are NOT a failure... you saved this dog's life. You are her angel!

Not a failure! You are Fantastic! Wishing you and your Family, including Chips, all the best from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤

People are different, just like dogs. They were just a poor match. Maybe a better screening process to determine suitability is needed.

Agreed!

Agreed

Exactly.

Or a pet rock

Thank god she wasnt abandoned rather than returned hope she finds a better home that can give her time

These are the worst foster parents I've ever seen. This woman does not need to be fostering animals she's too bizarre. Plus who's going to want an animal that keeps stealing socks? I can't tell you how stupid you people look to the regular world

@@faithreturns333 shut up🤬 nobody likes creeps like you

@@faithreturns333 my cat used to steal socks lol I loved that^^ call me wierd but whenever I'd lose my socks and she wasnt around she find them when she came back and put em under my bed

@@faithreturns333 What a heartless, rude and toxic thing to say. Pouring all that bitter nasty rubbish into the world tends to flow back on you like sewage which is evidently already a thing with you.

God bless you for giving your pup a second chance. ❤❤❤❤

Yay for YOU! And, your kind heart, and listening to your intuition!! :) Blessings~

Exactly ! It took her so long to trust them & then to be with new people, she was probably so scared & confused

Yep she missed her mom and dad

I agree!

Thank you!! For 2 days this Angel was miserable because you built her trust to give her away. I still would have pooped in your shoes!!!

I absolutely agree that adorable ❤🐕❤ belongs to your family. Bless your heart❤❤❤🐕❤❤

@@shirlepps4636 yeah I didn’t understand that at all. Then why adopt a rescue in the first place.

@@andrewjones2133 That part!

Couldn't have said it better myself! Well done!

I LOVED when she said that! If you want to fail at something, being a foster failure is the best type of failure in my books.

*BEST COMMENT*

🔥🔥🔥🔥❣️❣️❣️❣️

omg...im crying even more now..... aaawe FAMILY......

And Fate!

In the fostering circle, being a foster fail is a positive comment. It just means that you failed at placing them with someone else it doesn’t mean that you’re a failure. Very few fostering families don’t have at least one “failure” out of their time at fostering.

A "Foster Fail" is a good term, not a negative one. It means you failed at just being a foster family, but instead ended up loving the dog so much that you adopted it. It's a term of endearment, and one I'm always happy to hear.

Dog is Always a dog nice to see that!

@@PhysicsOfParkour Of course. It is a mentally retarded beggar, unable to survive on its own abilities, so it's totally relying on a human for everything. But it doesn't beg for much. It only begs for its food for life, its home for life, its vets for life and your precious time for the rest of its life. But it pays you back! When it sees its everything-provider it wags its tail and licks him... And we have agreed to call this... "unconditional love"! CONCLUSION: The I.Q of the dog "parents" is comparable to the I.Q of their "children", only a little more naive.

@@FoibosGr2 yup....its true.

@@FoibosGr2 you know ,honestly I'm not sure what you are trying to say. What do you mean by "mentally retarded beggar"? -_-!

​@@ashotoftequila3426 1. About "beggar": All its survival capabilities have been bred out during the ancient human project of domesticating the wolfs. So, the dogs can only survive depending on human charity. They beg the humans for food and all other essentials for surviving, because they could not survive without the human help. 2. About "mentally retarded". The dog species came from ancient wolves after downgrade. The today dog brain is 30% smaller than today wolf's. That's an average among all dog species. Even a 6 month old wolf puppy easily outsmarts any adult dog on this planet. So, dogs are mentally rearded compared to their ancestors. If humans disappeared all other animals would be very happy but the dogs. The dogs would disappear 2-3 weeks after humans, when they would have consumed every human food leftovers. They can not hunt in order to survive. They lost this ability thousands years ago. They are an incomplete species depending on other species (the human) for their survival.

isn't it just like staying at a relative while you are on holidays though

@@rachebrother5349 Don’t ever adopt a rescue. SMH

@@misssophie7717 i won't, don't worry 😃

Awe that's so sad she must have been really confused. Hope she has a happy home and is loved every day.

@@rachebrother5349 I love your response! Apparently trying to diminish the “trauma” of the dog staying somewhere else for two days makes you unfit for the human race😂😂😂! Frankly, these days, I’d take that as a W!!

I totally agree with that statement. My sweet, sweet Trixie certainly chose me and it's been love between us ever since!!

I’m still salty about the puppy my family got for me, ending up liking my sister more. Sadly the apartment she lives in is not allowed to have dogs but the one I live in does, so the puppy lives with me but ADORES my sister (and I always have a doggy sitter on call if I’m out of town so win win)

Or any other pet, for that matter. I usually try to be understanding, but f them. I hope local fosters put them on a list of people not to be trusted.

@@susieusmaximus5330 That is an excellent idea. Totally agree with you.

So true. I established a dog rescue 20 plus yrs ago. I have had to bite my tongue many times to keep from saying, "well, I have a nice STUFFED ANIMAL I can show you" to people who have come to look at our dogs who had that mindset.🙄😁

@@csf7773 Self- control is a good thing. I laughed at your stuffed animal line. Thanks for giving me a chuckle. Sometimes people look at a dog or any other animal as a toy. All pets need care, Food, medicine, affection, exercise, and understanding. Not all animals have the same temperament. Abandonment and abuse can be a factor. It takes time and patience to pull them through the trauma. Thanks 😊 again. 🌞

It's really not about that. Be thankful they recognized their limits instead of keeping the dog and messing it up...ending up hating it....having an adopted dog is different than starting from puppy. Each has their challenges. Not everyone is cut out for it...I guess I prefer to be thankful they recognized that in themselves.

🤭 awwwwwww

Brendan and Chips are BFFs

Maybe another name would have worked better. Ahoy is a signal word. Chips isn't a name either.

💯% For sure Ron!!!

Many people get a dog when what they need is a house plant . Water it give it a little light and you can feel accomplished. An animal is not like that. They need you as much as you need them. Food, understanding, time, scratches on the belly and petting on the ears. Snuggles on the couch. If you're the type that thinks dogs or cats belong in one space of the house or outside, not on the furniture or you don't have the time to put into a pet . If you can't see yourself treating it like family, don't get an animal.

Yes, dogs with anxiety and other mental health issues are more work than healthy and happy dogs. Yes, they are too much work for some people. No, there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with someone who acknowledges that someone or something is too much work for them.

@@princezzpuffypants6287 Still, it shows that they didn't think about it enough. Adopting an animal, especially with special needs, is a big deal ! You have to think the impact on the dog to be return...

I’m no vegetarian but your comment reminded me why I can’t eat mammals anymore, it’s that same scared look in the sheep and cow’s eyes. Birds, fish, that doesn’t seem to get to me.

@@admiralbeez8143 you should watch a video from a chicken slaughterhouse. That might change your mind. It's horrific

Exactly my point which I posted before I saw your comment!

Yes... correct...i absolutely agree...

Shame on anyone who dares to abuse.

What about cows, sheep , goats is god so inhumane that they aren't their precious gift

Kristi Noem disagrees. 😪

@@philpalmer4877 promise you not all republicans are like her she is a monster

What about leeches?

She couldn't have gotten a better, more caring family for here. God Bless you for your love.Thank God for your "failure" it brought her to the correct home. Yeah! For you. They say God closes a door, but opens a window. (He always gives you a second chance.)

Totally agree! She shouldn't have been adopted out if she was only able to get adjusted to her husband. The pup wasn't ready for more change.

@@ifonlyicared This was my thought, too. They tried to adopt her out too soon. But I'm glad she has her forever home now, and with people she trusts.

@@carolney5511 No, it's people who gave Chips a second chance, not ''god''. Praise the real people who made effort to make her happy and safe.

You are absolutely right. Who knows what trauma this poor pup suffered and ANY dog or cat needs time to acclimate and adjust. I'm so happy she's with a loving, safe home. Sadly we live in such a disposable world. Don't like something, return it. Blessings to all who give of themselves selflessly to make a difference for these animals to be saved and loved. Love transforms us all. I applaud you all. 👏👏👏👏❤❤❤🐾

Not just adoption either obviously, just getting an animal in general.

You are absolutely right. Ive fostered many, many dogs. When speaking with a potential adopter, I am as honest as possible about the dog, their quirks, strengths, things they need to work on etc. I want to make sure the adopter and the dog fit well with each other. For instance, a dog like Chips would only go to a quiet household with people who are experienced working with fearful dogs and with reward based training backgrounds. No younger kids, no busy lifestyle with people coming and going constantly and any other pets (sometimes another pet is the perfect thing to bring a fearful dog out of their shell) would have to be well matched personality wise. Even then, sometimes I see people get starry eyed over a potential dog regardless of how well that dog would fit in their life, or they havent really any thought into the 10-15 year commitment of time, resources, and emotion owning a dog requires.

I so agree with your statement. Also, some people don't know the first thing about dogs & they go and adopt or worse purchase a dog for the status they can provide. However. They don't exercise, socialize or play with the dog or even clean up after the dog. Then they complain about the dog misbehaving when in fact, it is they who are failures for not providing the care that a dog needs.

@@childofcascadia First if all, bless you! I give you such love and support. This is a gift to all of us...a caring person who's in it for right reasons and caring. God bless you. We adopted two litter mates brothers. No one told us about this not even the breeders. So it's been a challenge with two pups and litter mates too. It has been life changing for us in the best way possible! These pups have brought us such love and devotion and smiles! No matter how many months of sleepless nights and carpet that looks like swiss cheese, we are so grateful for them. We had other dogs that were strays and it took months and months to them win them over to trust us. They were the best pets. They just needed love and care. Thank you again. You re an angel on this earth. All of you! Blessings!!

Ikr!

maybe because of the socks part ? don't let dogs eat socks because they will eat them and then it's to the vet or death, happened to mine, pretty stupid part of the video didn't dislike but that would be a reason

Biden voters

Why people still parrot this despite it clearly changing nothing is beyond me.

@@johnkonstantine9115 Dumpty voters.

She's cute? I'm a minute and a half in and barely know what the dog even looks like. The foster mom is taking up 90% of the screen in almost every shot 🙄

​​​ Nope! Sorry but if all one is willing to put in to a rescued pet is 2 days then they cop out then that tells me they are not legit pet people because even a dog raised from a new born pup is 11 to 15+ years of your time and effort. I have 3 dogs and all are rescued dogs when they were less than a year old. 1 is originally mine and the other two dogs I inherited by way of my brother's passing and my Mother's passing. I am single and hold a steady job from moving till evening and take all 3 dogs a good walk 4 to 6 days a week depending if the weather is good. I alone pay all their vet bills. It's a lot of work but I would never give them up because saying oh they are too much work. So from my point of view from a single Man with 3 dogs, if you're not willing to commit to a pet, then don't even consider it. Too many of my fellow Americans have become too darn selfish and physically lazy to put work in o a pet.

@@roberttimothy1338 very true. If you don’t want to put in the work, don’t adopt a dog.

It brakes my heart too...... Some individuals could be so despicable!!!!!

Love you!

Fish aren't too much work? You've never had to maintain a tank have ya luv 😂 but absolutely agree, it's irresponsible to get any animal without doing research on the species and the individual your getting. All animals have special requirements and need love and attention x

@@flame-29936 I guess i must have written it wrong. Unlike Fish who just need some food and weekly cleaning. Dogs, birds, cats, and other more mobile animals around the house need a lot more attention and effort. You should either be fully devoted or have thoroughly researched before getting these types of pets. Each one is unique and has different needs. Some people amaze me at how incompetent they can be haha

@@flame-29936 Goldfish aren't really that much work. I didn't assume they meant some foreign tropical fish.

I so agree, I couldn't have said better

Some people "get" dogs. Some people don't. I've always been in the first group.

Hey

You are right- The best Failure is a Foster Fail for a dog that needs so much love, care and attention. Chips got the home she so deserved the 2nd time around.

I second this comment!

The term "foster failure" is actually a positive thing! It means that, as a foster, she fell in love with the dog and decided to adopt her. :) It's a term that dog/cat foster parents use.

glad she had a place to come back to. Giver her some lovin' from me.

Hey

Us too! We failed three times.

That TLC, food, and shelter 💗💗💓💓.

Lol frfr. My pitty was the same way. Now she's such a happy dog

Yes! They could have chosen to put her through another adoption, making sure they would give her enough time to trust and relax, but why do that since her trust issues were so severe and she is with the family she is comfortable with. They made the right decision.

So true, we were fostering a abused cat, I named Jelly Bean, since we had other cats, we set her up in our bedroom so she would get used to me being around , and feeding her. My husband had to go out of town, so it was just me at bedtime. It took 3 days of just coming in , sit on the bed and talk to her, not trying to touch her , just letting her know she was safe and had food and kitty litter. The third night I was half asleep when something was wiggling up the side of the bed under the covers, soon a little nose appeared and I just cuddled her for the rest of night. The next morning was a different cat, calm and ready to meet the rest of the gang. A little space, love and patience is what it takes. This was a fast turn around but she brought joy and laughter to our home and I still miss her.

@@myrnaskogland1268 That’s beautiful, I want to thank you and your husband for being such great people

@@myrnaskogland1268 Nice story. My aunt and cousin lost their dog (small poodle) and my cousin talked her mother into getting a German Shepard coonhound mix! Unfortunately her mother learned she had cancer. They wanted me to take the dog but I was not ready. Plus even though I was 4 hours away I was very involved with helping my aunt. Wouldn’t have been good for a dog at the time. I was a newbie too. They ended up returning Sydney to the shelter. No matter how little time you may have your dog or cat it makes life that much better.

@@davidhalley9795 circumstances understood but returning her to the shelter is usually a death sentence
