People who foster rescue dogs are some of the most amazing and selfless people in the world. We have to understand that most dogs that come from animal shelters have been through so much in life that they find it hard to trust humans. Some of these dogs haven’t even experienced being inside a house before.
Although many rescue dogs adjust rather quickly in their new lives, some dogs find it challenging and some of them would take months to finally learn to trust humans. A dog named Chips Ahoy was having difficulties adjusting to her foster home. Chips Ahoy didn’t want anything to do with humans and she was always afraid of everything that she would always try to hide.
It was clear that Chips Ahoy needed a lot of time to decompress. Her foster parents, Julie and Brendan, knew that helping Chips Ahoy meant that they have to be patient. Building trust is the key to helping Chips Ahoy and both Julie and Brendan worked so hard to let Chips Ahoy know that they could be trusted and that she’s in a safe environment.
Eventually, Chips Ahoy made a lot of progress. She started to open up some more and even got close to Brendan. Chips Ahoy was finally ready for a forever home and she did get an application from a family that wanted to adopt Chips Ahoy. Julie and Brendan were happy that Chips Ahoy was finally getting her chance to be a part of a family.
However, after only two days, Chips Ahoy was returned by the family who adopted her. The family stated that Chips Ahoy was too much work. Julie and Brendan were heartbroken since they knew that Chips Ahoy just needed time to decompress and adjust to her new environment.
So, they took Chips Ahoy back thinking that Chips Ahoy will surely get adopted. However, Julie soon realized that she didn’t want Chips Ahoy to go through the transition process again. She saw that Chips Ahoy was already happy in their home. Julie decided to foster fail and adopted Chips Ahoy.
Julie and Brendan are both happy that they get to give Chips Ahoy the life that she deserves. Thanks to them, Chips Ahoy learned to love and receive love. Here’s a heartwarming video showing how Chips Ahoy finally found a loving forever home that truly wanted her.
