It just takes a special person to give up a foster. I admire the young lady for letting Poppy get a chance for a forever home. I can only imagine how hard it was.

The one dog walking another dog...it's just priceless. Such a beautiful dog, she must have had a pretty dark past.

A million thanks to the foster parents out there giving these innocents a chance to be happy.

I am soooo happy that was a foster fail! I can't imagine that sweet pittie having to adjust once again to a new home!

Michele & Rylee sound like such amazing people! Angels for bringing sweet Poppy back to life. My heroes! 😇

Poor baby, she must have been through a lot, being so terrified. So happy she rebounded. Now Poppy will have the best life ever. She deserves it.

This is so sad when you see an animal this scared. The people who owned this dog previously need to be prosecuted for cruelty. No dog that is raised under kindness and love acts like this.

As a rescue pittie mom, all these videos make me cry. Every. Damn. Time. When you know the crap these breeds endure, how many of them are in shelters, and you know how they can be the best, cuddliest, most loyal dog you’ve ever known, I cry tears of happiness for every one of these dogs that turn into a success story.

It's Heartwarming to see a fearful dog from being such an energetic pup, glad he's living his best life Right now

Poppy looks like she has a kitten on her nose. How cute!

Dodo , do you know what a service you do for mental health of people?? In this crazy upside down cruel world, these videos make me see these rehabbed animals get loved back to life and it makes for such happy watching. Thank you so much for sharing g these incredible uplifting stories that start so sad but that you know will turn around and leave you so happy.

"Love her. She is the best dog ever. Now let's find her a new owner." Hilarious stuff.

Shout out to Oak for being such a gentle, loving sister to that precious bébé! They’re all so blessed.

She kind of got stuck half way through the process from foster to forever home.She is a "Forever Foster" 😘

Someone was not kind to this puppy. But she has such a big heart, she was able to learn to trust. I loved it when the other dog walked her on a leash 😊, and so glad that she foster failed with the second person ❤️❤️❤️

I can't bear to think.what happened to her but now she's safe. Thank you for taking care of her she's beautiful.

Patience was key here and this wonderful lady has that down to a tee.

What a beautiful girl! I'm so glad the second foster was a FAIL - LOL

This level of anxiety is ostensibly seen as a weakness. But put this dog and another confident, well socialized dog in the wild, and see who's around the longest. In reality, she's a born survivor.

You cry thinking about it, and you lived it. I spent 5 minutes and 37 seconds and I'm bawling like I was having to give up Poppy. You are so wonderful for what you do. I am so happy for Poppy and Rylee!! Love has found them and it couldn't be a more beautiful sight ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for making this poor pup come back from a devastating life. Anyone who could abuse an animal or child should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Tears of gratitude for the fostering and adoption of Poppy. The smile and lack of fear in her now is amazing. Thank you both for saving her!

No dog is hopeless. Boils my blood when I hear someone say that about a dog. They're sensitive, but resilient if cared for.

I love how our fur babies are so willing to trust and love again despite what may have gone on before in their lives . Poppy hit the jackpot Just so beautiful Woof woof from Australia 🇦🇺

So sad she tried to make herself invisible! She must have experienced a lot of trauma. Oh when she put her head on your lap I felt like crying!♥️🐕

When we adopted our newest doggie baby, he was 4 months old. Terrified of cars, both riding in, and walking around. He wouldn’t cross any streets. Peed and puked in the car. 9 months later, he will now cross the streets without treats. Still working on riding in the car, but the last ride had no pee or puke (yay!). He is a 50 pound Velcro lap dog.

Thank you to everyone Foster mum #1 and Michelle for showing Poppy the meaning of patience and nurturing love ❤️🐶🐾. Your heart are work paid off. I am glad she got to stay in a home where she is loved!🥰🐾😘

I'm so happy that poppy found her forever home thank you both for loving her and giving her the life of happiness.😍

It's good to see so many people w/ such big hearts helping dogs find a happy life.... Now if only everyone could be that way then the world would be a better place.

All y’all at The Dodo are a ray of sunshine in this dark, dank, and dire world. Your stories of renewal and love do it for me! As the “granny” of a rescued pittie I am particularly grateful to see stories like this one. You are the best!

GOD BLESS everyone who made this possible!!! THANK YOU for helping her!!!

Doesn't everybody want a 90 lb lap dog? I could never give poppy away. Thanks for your love. Philadelphia USA

I love a good foster fail!🥰

OMG, the perfect furever home! ❤️

It's so heartwarming how she was terrified to a energetic dog!

It must’ve been heartbreaking to let her go, but you did the right thing.

Ok…I just about cried watching this… I knew she was going to keep Poppy and I love it! And, how stinkin adorable that Oak was walking Poppy…I have never seen that before! She definitely found her forever home!

I love a happy ending ❣❣💕

Pitbulls do think they are lap dogs. My friend weighs 85 pounds. I weigh 110. He still manages to get on my lap. That's a big bundle of love.

beautiful friendship w those pups. love the Oak walking Poppy 😊 part. best friends forever ❤

My goodness that pittie is beautiful.💕🌼

Poppy, I hope that the rest of your days will be filled with lots and lots of love and happiness. And plenty of belly rubs.

The fact that you were so patient with her is makes me cry because you're a godsend and her new mommy is another godsent. This poor baby was so terrified and to see her come out of her shell after spending time with you, and even come out even more of her shell when spending time with her new mommy and her new brother it's wonderful. It bring tears to my eyes God put people like both of you on this Earth for a reason much love and respect to you much love and respect to the fur baby and her new mommy and her new brother or sister I'm not sure🙏💛💛🌷

Bless your heart. You have made two dogs very happy... Me too. She deserves all the happiness and love life can give her.

Another happy ending for such a special boy! It brings joy to my heart.

Oh my God I’m bloody crying such a twat I am but I am so pleased that she has a forever home now with a loving family and your best mate thank you for rescuing her and giving her a second chance I dread to think what she’s been through the poor girl bless her Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having time and patience with her she is absolutely adorable and like I said I’m so pleased she has a forever home now bloody brilliant thank you for making me cry

You never rushed her into anything. She was so lucky to wind up with you to rehabilitate. Thank you!!!

Such respect for this lady and her hubby, giving of needy pups a home and time to help come into themselves and begin to trust, then the hardest act of all, moving pup on to the next step in the best interests of the pup and so they can open their home to another pup and do the same thing - absolutely beautiful human beings. I'm so so happy Poppy found such a superb family - the bond between the two pups was amazing to watch and she's found the best mama.

I’m so happy Poppy is now a happy fun loving little 90-pound fur baby. I don’t know what her life was before. I’m so sorry she had to endure whatever it was that made her that way, it makes me angry. Thanks to the two foster moms that showed her what a good life filled with love and understanding looks and feels like. I’m also thankful the one was a foster fail. That’s exactly where she belongs. Thank you for saving that wonderful, beautiful girl.

It's such a heartwarming story 💕 to see 👀 a fearful pup 🐶🐾 grown into a beautiful energy dog 🐕. Hope Hoppy and his foster mom enjoys life to the fullest 💕

My mom has the exact same dog! He’s the most well behaved dog I’ve ever seen.

Amazing- thank-you so much for the doing and the sharing.

Stop making me cry!

SOOO WONDERFUL to see this. Thank you always to everyone who has a heart and puts effort into fostering and helping all animals find a safe home.

Awe how heartbreaking and warming at the same time. I’m not sure how you managed to let her go but she looks so happy well done both mummy’s. Glad there are people like you around to heal the hurt. 💕❤️♥️💖. I’m in tears watching. Can’t imagine how it felt.

Oh fosters just amaze me. The tireless work you did with Poppy, all the critical time you spent with such patience for each small baby step. All the effort and love so she could go to her next family and thrive.

Pauvre chien merci de l'avoir aidé❤👍

She is such a lovely one~ I’m sooo glad to see that she is okay to be visible~😅 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

You cry thinking about it.....and darn you I am happy to say you made me do the same thing. Beautiful story with 2 beautiful friends, tyvm for sharing!

If only they could tell us what they went through before to cause them so much fear 😥It's heartbreaking. 😊I'm happy to see such a change, kindness is everything.

Thank you for devoting your time, talent and love for fostering and then finding the ultimate loving home.

Patient’s is the key and positive reinforcement and of course LOVE 💕 What a truly inspirational dog!!! 💕 well done to foster mum as well 💕 Big love from 🇦🇺💕 (P.s this is Richard Anthony’s wife) lol) 😂💕🇦🇺

Poppy is such a beautiful, sweet love bug and I am very happy that she found a wonderful home where she gets all she need and much more 💝🐾💝🐾💝🐾💝 I am one of those people who never could foster cause the house would be crowded with foster fails...☺️ We adopted our first dog in 2009. Her pregnant mom was abandond in front of the local shelter by night... She gave birth to six healthy and beautiful puppies. They all got adopted very fast cause they were puppies and so beautiful. They were a mix of a St. Bernard and a great Münsterländer, a german hunting breed... So they were really big and wonderful 💙💙💙. Our beloved giant baby girl crazy Daisy was adopted too but the woman had a bad car crash and she died...😭😭😭 He tried so hard to found somebody who can take care of her while he was working but he don't found anybody cause he was working far away and was only at home at the weekends... So he brought her back to the shelter crying so much and he was heartbroken... Daisy's luck was that she was just 7 months old and she was that kind of dog being always happy and she loved everything and everybody... We checked the shelter if there was a big dog who fits in our life. We needed a dog who liked cats and Kids cause we have two Maine Coon boys and our grandchilds are here very often... So Daisy stepped in our life... It was love at first sight for everybody and she was sooo happy that she could come with us... She was so special and unique... Always enjoying life and having fun she was everybodys best friend... She was happy every second and and her favourite thing was having the house full with people as more as better... She was a giant lap dog and mamas baby... My husband called her always Magneta cause she never let me get out of her sight... People who don't know her said it is unbelievable cause she was sending millions of hearts when she looked at me.... As you can imagine I loved her to the moon and back same as she did... She was never sick for one second and she was a power package and so healthy.... Until August 2019... She always laid on my left side or she came on my sofa and curled her body around me... Not that day.... She was laying under the table doing nothing but she didn't sleep.... I called her but she didn't came and this wasn't my crazy Daisy... I crawled under the table and wanted to check her and she was really really hot.... Of course it was a sunday evening and there wasn't a chance to get a vet.... I called a vet clinic more than 250 km away and they asked me if I had Novalgin at home a strong pain killer... I really had it cause of my headaches and they told me to give her 40 drops cause her weight was about almost 100 lbs... I gave her the medicine and maybe 25 minutes later she was like nothing happened.... She was jumping around, eating, drinking and she felt super good.... Of course we went to the vet next morning.... Dogs have a body temperature between 38 and almost 39 degrees and at this bad evening it was 40.6 degrees...😱😱😱 But the next morning she had 39.4 so it wasn't that bad.... The vet checked her and took some blood... There was a infection somewhere but she didn't know where so she made some x-rays... Not good... There was a shadow sized like a tennis ball directly in her stomach area but she wasn't sure where it was located exactly... She gave her some antibiotics and we got a date for making a ultra sound of her stomach area in thursday morning.... The ultra sound showed that the tumor, cyst or whatever sat directly on her milt.... She said it is no problem to take the milt out and we could pick her up at the late afternoon.... We just arrived at my daughters house cause she invited us for breakfast.... My mobile was ringing and it was the vet... She told me Daysy's complete stomach area was filled with uncountable tumors and it would be the best don't let her wake up again cause this kind of cancer is so aggressive and growing very fast so she would have maximum 8 - 12 weeks left and those in bad pain..... WHAT ??????? SHE TOLD ME AT THE PHONE THAT SHE NEEDED THE PERMISSION FOR PUTTING HER TO SLEEP.... MY BELOVED GIANT BABY GIRL ???? I couldn't talk and my daughter took my mobile... She asked the vet several times if there wasn't another way but she said again no no no.... We never would let suffer one of our animals so we said yes.... But she must wait until we said goodbye.... We drove back to the vet and Daisy was laying on that surgery table sleeping with that mask on her nose.... She looked so peaceful and relaxed without any pain... We hold and cuddle her for over one hour and we took her paw prints.... After a long time the vet came in and said it is time now letting her go... We couldn't talk and we were both crying so hard.... My wonderful sweet baby angel must leave this world ????? It was so so horrible and felt completly wrong... For me it was like betrayal cause in the morning WE brought her to the vet she was trusting us so so much and we had to say put her down ????? Yes, we couldn't know that it was so bad and we were sure to pick her up in the afternoon... But now we had to make the hardest decision in our life.... The vet gave her "the final shot" that's how she said it and maybe two minutes later our beloved baby was gone..... Her wonderful big brown eyes weren't the same. They looked like cold glass marbles and you could see that her soul was gone.... This wasn't our beautiful girl this was a empty cover..... That day was the blackest day ever and our whole world shattered in seconds..... I wished everybody would know her and see and feel her unconditional love.... She gave us almost 11 years and this was the best time ever... The grieving never stops this wound will never heal... Almost three years later the sadness isn't away no hour without thinking on her.... The paw print we took is a wonderful tattoo on my right arm now and every dot you can see are their hairs... She was and is the love of my life and this will never change... I am not afraid of dying cause I know we will meet again and nothing can separate us anymore... I love and miss you so so so much sweet baby but mom is coming one day and I will find you I promise... 💝🐾🌹🐾💔💔💔🐾🌹🐾💝

Thank you for being gentle with her in how you handled the leash. That was awesome. 🐾 🥰

My dog is still like this 2 years later. Will not trust people other than me. Barks at my son and he never hurt her. Will not walk on leash. She is putting her tension on my other dog.

Poppy is GORGEOUS! Riley walking Poppy is PRICELESS! LOVE this story!!!❤

What an adorable Chihuahua! This entire video made me laugh & cry alot, it would be too hard for me to give her up but you stayed strong. So Happy it turned out well. 🤎 Thanks for your sacrifice, it cannot be easy to let them go 😿😿

That was a tear jerker, so happy that Poppy is loved by so many people and in her Furever home xx

Vous êtes un ange !

Now how can we not be so happy and excited for this gorgeous furbaby after the first foster broke major grounds with Poppy then came the second “foster/furever mum” who showed Poppy a brand new life and Poppy is living her best life with her Sibling and pawrent how beautiful🙏🏾💕 Kudos to all rescues, fosters and adopters that actually take such care and love for all these beautiful animals. I love happy stories and endings like this💜

Poppy has got family and friends. ! Life is better and a finally a forever home ! Thanks for caring and sharing !!

I cry thinking about it too. Heartfelt, happy tears, knowing gorgeous Poppy is forever, Home. Safe, happy & so loved. Bless you for rescuing Poppy & for selflessly guiding her to the happy life she deserves... where she was meant to be.💕🙏💕

That's the beautiful thing about fostering animals, you never know when you're going to come across that soulmate.

Thank you for sharing this very uplifting heartwarming story. You did an awesome job of fostering her, as well as finding her the Very Best Fur-ever home she could have hoped for. The transformation from a fearful frightened dog to the happiest tail wagging, smiling girl is amazing. Kudos to everyone involved. Heroes in my heart ❤💙. ❤🐕🐾👏👏

Thank you much! Rescued (2nd) reactive 120lbs Akita/wolf just over year ago, he was unsure with me, frightened not knowing if forever home, gave space and let him decide... Now tail doesn't stop waging, all in the bed, recently got him with female rottweiler, hooked collars together & he learned to be a dog having fun. Thank you, great to see!

Love the Second Foster Home walking Poppy on a harness! 👍. I’m thrilled the second foster Mom adopted Poppy!❤

What a beautiful blossoming. Both foster parents received so much love for their kindness. That's why foster parents risk their hearts! It's such immense joy. Thanks to all the fosters who devote themselves. Poppy, you are an absolute UNIT! so glad you found your furever home.

So so happy for poppy her life has changed from a nightmare to an amazing one thanks guys for helping her achieve this

How heartwarming to see such warm and caring people who save these wonderful animals, and how heartbreaking to imagine what could have possibly happened to Poppy to terrify her so. God bless the animal advocates and saviors, and I pray that the cruel abusers out there can grow a heart and conscience and stop their horrific behavior.

God, the amount of effort this woman has put in with this dog is hella close to makin me cry.

What a beautiful gorgeous dog!🥰🐕‍🦺🥰

Beautiful Poppy living her best life. Well done everyone. 🐶❤️

Thank you to all the Foster's! What you do is such a blessing 🙌 !

It's absolutely beautiful what good people can achieve with ❤️

I can see that Poppy has a beautiful soul and heart. God knows what her old experiences were, but that person should be sent to prison. I am so happy the foster mother had a way of desensitizing her, and I am thrilled Poppy has a wonderful home with the new girl.

Amazing transformation ❤️ Its good to see how happy and playful is Poppy at the end of the video

I'm so glad she found her forever home 🥰Patience and Love = AWESOMENESS..... wonderful job Mom!!!🐶🐾❤️❤️❤️

What a beautiful dog!!! I love it when the story ends with the dog having a better life than me! ❤️

Thank you so much for saving this wonderful sweetheart! What a cutie she is!!! You are a wonderful foster parent!!! A true hero for animals...

A happy ending for a beautiful pup! ❤

I am so happy for Poppy! She was so scared and it was heartbreaking. I'm glad there are great people out there helping these wonderful doggos!

Wow,what a story,someone who ❤️ an animal like you ,deserves everything life can give you. ❤️ and greetings from Belgium

What patience and love from these foster parents and care givers. The rewards are indescribable when the pups finally come around. God bless these fine people. Hugs y'all.

Your patience and love did so much for her. Thank you for sharing your story. 🐾❤️🐾 Glad to see this foster fail! So awesome Poppy will have the life she deserves!

Very happy you adopted poppy! 🙂 The dodo inspired me to get a dog myself! Thank you!

Poppy is just sooo beautiful 😍 would love to give her lots of pats and cuddles ❤️ 💕

And, I'm also crying thinking about it! Thank you for giving Poppy the best life. Love her.

I love these stories, it gives me so much hope! Watching Poppy regain her trust and enjoy her new life is SO heartwarming. I’m not surprised that she was a “foster fail”!!! 😃

I’m crying too. Seeing the transformation is such a beautiful thing. Thanks for your patience,& contribution to bettering Poppy’s life.💯❤️👏🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

You both are so amazing. Your love, patience and dedication is so beautiful. Poppy must have been through so much and she needed you, and boy did you show up! Thank you for that. Thank you. Also, that fierce little chihuahua is so cute! And to see Poppy put her head on you, my word. I love seeing Poppy and Oak! I was writing this and typing" two peas on a pod", when you said it! Go Poppy! Live girl! Your rocking it! And thank you Riley!
