My baby…the love of my life…who still has my heart 17 years after his passing…was in a cage trying to get my attention in a pet store in Arlington TX. As I walked away, my friend said, “He’s looking to see where you are going.” I asked to hold him, and the pet store employee told me, “A family brought him back. They say he doesn’t like people.” I remember thinking, “Well he seems to like ME.” He came home with me, and quickly became the love of my life. He was three months old when he chose me, and he passed in my arms at 16 and a half. Our bond was magical.

Not a failure. She ended up right where she was supposed to be. Such a sweet girl! Thank you for your patience, kindness and love!

There's a reason when we say "you don't pick the dog, the dog picks you" and is so true. I have a little dog that fostered her during her pregnancy, the puppies were adopted, and somebody took her (the mom) for adoption, in less than a month she escaped from that house and came back to me. After that, I couldn't let her go with another human, and now she's with me.

I'm glad you kept her. She is already used to you guys and she loves you

Too much work? Disgusting. Thank you for adopting her, she's really a sweetheart.

If you want a "work free" dog, buy a doll instead of a pet.

Chips deserves all the love! Thankfuly, she found in her foster, and now her oficial family, a place to be forever ❤️

My dog was returned before we got him. He had been in four other shelters before he got to ours. The guy said he only wanted to be outside and didn't want to spend time with his son. Seriously people, dogs aren't toys! Let them decide when it's time to come to you. We've had him for four years and he is the sweetest boy... loves every person and every dog he has ever met.

My dog has been returned many times before I adopted him. The shelter wasn't seeking a family anymore when I got him. All of this happened just because he was shy and very scared of people, instead of being extrovert and cuddly. Now he's the most adorable and loving creature in the world 🥰

“She can have all the socks in the world that she wants.” That’s right!

[jasonellison]

She’s absolutely gorgeous. She couldn’t have wished for a better family.

[maria-zefy]

She was returned because she belongs to YOUR family.
Your family is the very best choice for this wonderful and beautiful dog 💜💚💛💙🧡❤ Take good care of her and God bless!!!

Shy and scared dogs are the most loyal loving dogs once they open up which means you've earned their trust.

I wouldn’t say that’s a foster fail, I’d say that’s a foster success 💛

[seinawhite]

She just needed time, it's no telling where she was rescued from and what they did to her. Thank god she was returned to you. Beautiful story 🙏🙏❤

[QueenOfTheNorth]

Bless you for keeping her. Poor girl. I can’t imagine the trauma of being returned after only 2 days.

[AuntieMamie]

These people are heroes. Thank you for being a special breed: foster failure. I’m so happy for Chips Ahoy.

She is adorable. She knows the people who love her. The ones who thought of her as " too much work", did not deserve her.

Dogs are very special, precious souls. Idiots can really hurt them.

"We want to giver her our home." That's how true dog parents feel.

I love this!!!! My dog was my "failure" . I fostered her 11 years ago and after a year and a half of rehabilitating her I look back on how far she came. How far I came. Keeping her as my family was my BEST decision of my ENTIRE life. The end of this month we celebrate 11 years together. :)
