Yall did such a good job with her. People who enjoy fostering difficult dogs are some of the best out there.
definitly! but i think its double hard to let them go and i also think its motsly not as great for the dog to have to change again.
@@mushu-the-cat If you foster you can't keep every dog. You need to let them go to forever homes to make room for the next dog in need
@@annkelly6643 i know! that’s another reason why i couldn’t foster. i’d just grow too attached and couldn’t let them go.
maybe that’s why i love foster fail stories 😅
@@mushu-the-cat I know it would be wonderful to keep them all.
My neighbor used to foster animals. Everyone treated him like a saint. Come to find out he was molesting some of the neighborhood kids.
My point in saying that is, people are people. People can do some extreme acts of kindness. And that same person, can be a MONSTER!
People who foster dogs are genuinely heroes, not only because they help these dogs but because they have the strength to let the dog go so they can help even more,❤️
it must be heart wrenching seeing her leave. being strong so others can thrive is true love.
If fostering was easy then people shouldn't be doing it.. your heart breaks twice when you Foster animals the day they come to you and you find out their backstory and the day they find their forever home..
But your remind yourself your heart breaks are nothing compared to what their heart breaks are..
You got that right cuz it would be almost impossible for my family to do that, we would end up with 300+ dogs ,🤪
Ah, yes, for labs, water is absolutely calming. Good idea. She needs to lose some more weight, but swimming will help. And YES, she really is BEAUTIFUL.
My experience was a tad different... Lol I had a rescue lab/dalmatian mix who absolutely *hated* water. She acted like water was acid lava from the deepest pits of hell fire. It was like pulling teeth to get her outside when it was raining, it could be pouring and she would walk *around* puddles. We won't talk about bath time. Lol God I love that beautiful wackadoodle. But I definitely agree she will feel much better losing a little weight and she looks like an older dog so I'm quite impressed she opened up as quick as she did.
M
@@ashh4929 Mine too.
She won't even stay in the same part of the house when I take a shower. She goes all the way out near the kitchen until the water stops running. And she's normally the type who wants to be wherever I am.
I’m not sure she’ll lose weight with her new parents.
@@MrVvulf lol That's how my girl was, my little shadow. The only time she broke that is if it was thundering or there were fireworks, then me being in shower was the lesser of 2 evils. But I was really surprised because of all the research I did on her breeds and my fool self is getting her a little pool and a sprinkler because "labs usually love water! Dalmatians are super active, usually don't mind swimming!" *Nope!* 😐 lol Did your baby have a hard time with the loud noises like that too?
Foster people are brave, I could never let a dog go to adoption after both bonding with them for months.Imagine the sadness but also happiness seeing a lonely dog getting into a social dog and getting adopted
Same
Fosters know it'll hurt but do it anyway. A truly selfless act
I would be a total failure. These babies have been thru much, when they finally trust you it is everything!
Agreed. Once the pet loves me. It's over.
I would keep every one of them.
This is another story of love, perseverance, and patience. God bless these people for giving Bella another chance to be comfortable at home.
Anubis or Osiris?
yes it is!
My sweet Cassie sat in a shelter for over 2 years. She was discovered in a field with obvious signs of abuse. She was a big girl but super sweet. I believe she was waiting for us. Cassie did not know how to play. Once she figured it out she never tore them up. We lost her 4 years ago. My heart is still broken. I have such a respect for foster families. It must be very hard letting her go. U did such an amazing job.
Added 10/4/21: One of the reasons I wanted to share another story of a long-term shelter dog is to show people there is nothing wrong with animals that have been in the shelters for a long stretch. I had never rescued a dog when we fell in love with Cassie's pic online. I only found out later she had been in the shelter for 2 years. Full disclosure, if I had known this b4 falling for my big lump of a dog I may have selected another dog because I would equate long time in shelter = something wrong. This could not be further from the truth. With love and training we had an amazing, loving, loyal companion for 7 beautiful years. So please consider adopting the dog or cat that has been there the longest. I shudder to think because of my preconceived notions we would have missed out on all the laughs and love she gave us.
Thank you for loving your Cassie. 💖🌈🐈💐💖
God bless you for what you did for Cassie. Your parting is only temporary. She has gone ahead to prepare a place for you, returning the happiness in the next life that you gave her in this one. ♥️
@@heatherhollowell8696 thank u for your kind words. I always think of her helping other pets crossing the rainbow bridge and showing them around. She was such a hoot. She had to solve a puzzle every night. If I forgot and went to bed she would let me know I needed to get up and get her puzzle out.
@@christinebuckingham8369 thank u for your kind words. She was very easy to love very difficult to let go.
Lovely story.thank you.
She looked so shut-down and sad like her owner died.Bella is adorable!💜
You never know. That could actually be what happened before she went to a shelter. Sometimes when someone has a dog and dies, extended family is not always able to adopt them for the dog's remaining years.
You performed a miracle , you brought Bella back to life. Thank you for giving her a life.
Dogs are truly amazing animals. Their home is their people. Raise a pup with love and they'll be your best friend forever, no matter where life takes you. It's beyond sad to see them abandoned and unwanted. Thank goodness for people like Chris and all of the loving foster parents around the world for giving these creatures another chance at a happy life.
That made me tear up :')
You are a good person, and you write beautifully ♥️♥️
@@velvetiny7307 , me too, he must be a very kind person to write so well.
@@derrytaylor7417 yea
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
130 days in the shelter ! It’s no wonder that she took time to loosen up , you are wonderful people for helping her to be happy again .Thank you for being so kind.
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
Some dogs are just so traumatized by the shelter. It’s nice to see her starting to love life
Foster parents have such a life-changing impact on animals and their forever families and friends! Truly inspiring people! Thank you for bringing happiness into the lives of our furry friends!
I hope that her new parents will give her as much attention as you have. You really brought her back from depression and anger.
I hope she will be very happy
Hey
I literally don't know how these people can foster, fall in love and send them on. Good strong souls.
Exactly what I was thinking. I would grow too attached and keep them all! Too hard
Foster and rescuers are angels disguised as human beings.....thank you Chris for being such an angel.
Not only fostering a dog, but having the perseverance, time and ability to rehab them is just at another level. ❤️❤️❤️
Fosters are special souls. I would fail each and every time. God bless them all.
This is really heart warming here, I guess all she needs was some space because she was in a shelter for 130days. Dogs are amazing and such an adorable. Do you have a pet?
I can’t believe how fully this beautiful Bella butterfly emerged from her chrysalis with her foster parents’ love, care, and attention. Thank you for all you did to get her ready for and situated in her forever home.
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
Understanding, patience and love are the most essential tools for a successful and happy foster. Look at the transformation of Bella ..... from a uncertain, shy and timid dog to a trusting, happy and calm dog. Good work !!
Foster parents are the best! Thank you for rescuing and loving this sweet girl!
Dogs are amazing and so are humans who foster.
This is really heart warming here, I guess all she needs was some space because she was in a shelter for 130days. Dogs are amazing and such an adorable. Do you have a pet?
That is so lovely, you passed all of Bella’s tests with flying colors! You allowed her time and space to trust again. What a sweet senior girl, I wish her all the best in her new life.💕
Thank you for your kindness to Bella. You're the BEST!

Hello how are you today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Hey
Those beautiful brown eyes looking up with love and gratitude 💕
She's beautiful, wonderful job taking care of her. Chocolate labs have the most loving and sweet expressions 💕
Love is patient, love is kind. God bless you for hanging in there.
Hello
I couldn’t have given her up!! I don’t know how foster people can do it. I’m glad, but Bella was happy with the first guy. I pray she had a wonderful life in her new home! 🐶🥰
This is really heart warming here, I guess all she needs was some space because she was in a shelter for 130days. Do you have a pet?
@@johnortega8078 Yes, I do. A sweet, little dog.
@@susanmulvey6311 wow that's sweet, I have a cutie Carlos that's him on my profile. Can I ask you a question please
@@susanmulvey6311 hey are you there?
Hey
Bella is beautiful !! I love chocolate labs so much !!!💖💖💖
I am a foster and was set up with a dog who had bit her previous foster when they were leaving the shelter getting into the car. That foster promptly returned the dog. I was the next foster in line and was told this dog would never be a lap dog. I was scared of her at first but as time went by, I realized she was the most loyalist dog I had ever seen. I could not get her off my lap. Boy were they wrong. 😁
** WHAT A "BEAUTIFUL" STORY!! WHAT A "PRECIOUS" "HAPPY" GIRL!! **MAY GOD BLESS YOU, BELLA!! AND HE HAS!!
God does not exist.
It is so evident to me how dogs express how they've been hurt and how they open up and trust again with the right person who is patient and kind. Humans should pay attention to this!
This is really heart warming here, I guess all she needs was some space because she was in a shelter for 130days. Do you have a pet?
🙏Praying Bella is Well and being Loved All the Time 🙏. Bella is a Beautiful Baby Girl God Bless you all and Forever Hugs for Bella 🌹❤😘🐕😘❤🌹

Hey
Awwww….she is literally stopping to smell the roses. Live a good life Bella. ❤️
good only 5 people without a heart, this is such a lovely video and i would love a dog like her
Old grumpy puppers love loving too 🤩
Thank you for this video!
…
This is really heart warming right here I guess all that Bella needed was some space cause she was in a shelter for 130 days
That was all the time that Bella needed to stop growling whenever someone came near her that's when she started to come out of her shell and warm up to humans🦴
That's when the foster guy was like alright Bella's ready for a forever home and when she had went back to the shelter Bella actually remembered everyone there
Always God bless everyone who comes across this comment ✝️
Bella is absolutely beautiful!
So sweet! Everyone was great from Bella, her foster family to her forever family! What a wonderful story!
Hi how are you doing today, I hope you are doing good.
Hey
You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the love and patience.
I really feel for these so-called “difficult” pets. Their not difficult, they have been hurt and disappointed by humans. It takes very special humans to gain back the trust of these special animals. I cannot imagine how hard it is to learn to trust humans again. We as humans struggle to trust and forgive each other, and we have the gift of language to communicate our feelings and intentions with one another. These animals don’t have that. Sure, they have other abilities and senses that help them discern good from bad, emotions, etc.. But it’s much harder for them to understand that it is okay to trust again, that takes time, empathy, and compassion from humans. Especially when we don’t know how they were hurt and what they need to heal emotionally. I watch these videos and I’m always in awe of the difference these people make in these special animal’s lives. It’s truly beautiful.💜💜💜
How does a beautiful Chocolate Lab like Bella spend 130 days in a shelter? Thank you for fostering her and find her forever home!
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
My choco was an abused rescue..she bonded with me first and now she runs around with the kids all the time..best girl ever
What a great rescue. Bella gets her forever home and all the love she needs. What you and your family does is greatly appreciated. Another animal saved.
Shes a beauty. My sweet girl ( a beagle), is named Bella also
Hi how are you doing
It’s so amazing to me
Hope you’re having a nice day dear.
Thank you for changing your heart to accommodate a changing doggos life. We are going through similar with our rescues but our younger lab Jake slept with me last night in bed and stopped shaking in terror at our crackling fireplace. He is beautiful just like all dogs, do not give up on that love. It has power, it will heal!
Ya ur right. Have a Great Life enjoy ur happy life family.
So happy for Bella and grateful to Chris for getting her ready for adoption! ❤️
I love this content. Wholesome. Wonderful. Its LITTERLY perfect to make me happy
FroggyWoggy you wouId make the perfect foster
These are good people, right here.
These fosters are just amazing people! To deal with the tough parts of one dog after another and then let someone else enjoy the fun and easy parts, is just so unselfish. Angels among us.
It takes time to make friends but once the bond is built it is life long
So much respect to this foster Dad. I know I couldn't do it once any bond was formed, I would fail hard and keep a puppy. It's a huge kindness. I'm hoping to fail at this really soon. Best wishes Bella and Chris.
I really admire people who can foster animals successfully. I would get too emotionally attached and fail every time.
Thanks for helping her. Thanks to the people who adopted her. God bless.
Thanks for being so kind to the old girl.😁🇺🇸
Absolutely adore people who foster. Kudos to this couple for taking the time to get Bella ready for her furever home. Just their patience and time spent with her to teach her to trust and to play just to dog, to allow her to come around when she was ready. Its a priceless moment when you know their ready to go on their next adventure.🙏🏽❤️
On one hand I am glad that my country doesn't have an issue with abandoned dogs/street dogs.
On the other, I would love to be able to foster dogs to help them find joy and love again.
Glad that went well. Watched her and worried she had extreme arthritis but it apparently was more being locked with fear.
thank you for loving Bella, awesome job!
This is so very special.
Lovely dog, you guys done such a good job 😀
God bless the fosterers and rescuers!
I could never fall in love with a dog and give it up. I understand you’re doing a good thing and I hope they all get good homes.
May god bless you on how good you are to bela😊❤
It's unbelievable how forgiving dogs are. If they know that you are a good person they open up and if that deep bond is there they will love you until their last breath...🐾💝🐾💝🐾💝🐾
I have the biggest respect to all fosters cause it's hard work... I couldn't do that cause I would have completly foster fails 🐾🤗🐾🤗🐾
This is really heart warming here, I guess all she needs was some space because she was in a shelter for 130days. Dogs are amazing and such an adorable. Do you have a pet?
Can always count on having a smile on your face (ok, maybe mixed with a tear of joy) when you’re done with a Dodo video. ☺️👍
So grateful they gave this sweet girl their love and patience.🤎🐾
Shelters can be a really stressful environment for dogs, even with a staff full of wonderfully caring people. Bless these people for giving her time and earning her trust!
When an ill treated dog learns to trust again it is such a beautiful thing
🐕🌹 sois heureuse tendre BELLA
God bless all foster mums & dads. You guys make all the difference in the world to these blessed creatures. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😀😀
It just takes some patience with most shelter dogs, thank you so much for your kindness, best wishes!
So many good and loving people on this world. Thank you for caring for this doggo. Love, light and blessings 💙💜💖💜💙
Bella just needed time to gain trust and acclimate, what a sweetie she is thank you for all the kind loving work you did as her foster, Bravo! It must be hard letting go but equally rewarding knowing you played a vital part in her adoption.

@@johnortega8078 Yes 2 dogs a Chihuahua and Staffordshire bulldog mix, as well as a red eared slider turtle and Goldfish, most of my pets were rescues I've always loved animals of all kinds
@@silviavoss6411 wow that's lovely, can I ask you a question please
@@silviavoss6411 hello how are you doing today? Its been a while now
Awww dogs are such amazing creatures,anyone who helps animals like this beautiful Labrador deserves to go to heaven, Animals are the cutest most amazing creatures ever and deserve love, happiness and more🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
Nope couldn’t do it. It would break my heart. I’m glad someone is able to foster though🌺💚🙃
Hey
What a sweet dog she turned into, once she learned to trust again. Props to you! I understand and appreciate it... But personally I could never foster. I'd be the world's biggest fail, never able to give them up!
God Bless you, foster parents! They to are Amazing, with love, patience, Kindness, Care! Beatiful People! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤🇬🇧
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe ?
So adorable ❤️❤️
Takes a special human to do what you guys do, it restores our faith in humanity and the bond we should have with animals , bloody legends keep up the great fostering love from Sydney Australia 🌺🐨🦘
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
Her spirit was broken.
TLC does wonders! 🌻👍🏻💕🙏🏻
Hey
I wish all my tears were happy ones! I lost it when she started running! Thank you for saving Bella... she really is a good girl! Fostering saves so many lives!
Such a sweet girl. We lost our sweet boy two years ago and miss him so much. He was my angel and he always will be.
I literally cried this story and all their stories are so touching 🥰😍🥰🥲
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
She's over weight for one so her bones hurt. Notice the calluses on her elbows. Most labs like hiking & water. She's a senior.
I am sure those conditions will improve with the daily walks, good food, activity ( ie moving about freely compared to being shut up for months in a relatively small "cage"). I wasn't thrilled with the hotdog treats, but they worked for the positive end result, a (hopefully) good and forever home. Give it a chance and knock off the negativity please. I observed that sweet couple DOING repeat, DOING something extremely and gratefully positive. Didn't just TALK about it.
@@timewilltell5476
Was not intended to be negative remark, you took it wrong way. I was saying her age does not match weight. I'm sure she will get the best with her new parents. Happy she can say she's home with love & support.
Yeah. You have to be very careful with labs and their weight. Their drive for food can cause spiralling weight gain so quickly
@@browny1490
My shepherd & collies & cat lived to & passed 15 years each, I was always making careful of their weight & bones structure.
I have no fur-babies for over 7+-years now, I tried within a year after, but it hurt my heart to much.
The dog will find me if I keep on looking. They choose you.
My neighbor lab is not even 2 and he has them. He goes on hikes along the River and swims. Very active family. Besides she’s been in a shelter.
This lovely soul has so much to offer . Thank you for saving her 💖
People that have a heart for animals are just the best kind of people!!! Thank you for loving the critters!
"Obedience School." Is there any doubt that the dogs make the rules and WE are the ones being trained?!?
huh?
Dodo has given me a newly-found respect for foster animal parents, willing to give up their babies they worked on so long and hard to forever homes.
If there's a heaven, you guys and dolls should sit at the head table.
Sometimes it just takes a home to get them out of their shell and help them not feel scared. That's why fostering is so important.🙏🐾🤎
Thinking how good it feels to restore trust and destroy uncertainty. Awesome love hoomans.
She's so beautiful 🤩 !! I would take her in a heartbeat 💓
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!!
How did you let her go
It would have killed me
You do a great job getting these dogs ready for their next home 💕💕💕 👏👏👏👏👏
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
To spend all that time with Bella and then see her walk away forever....that would be gut wrenching. I admire people who, somehow, can handle that. Yay to all the animal fosters out there. You guys/girls are awesome!
Poor thing was depressed and in pain from being cooped up for so long. God Bless you for being patient and kind until she felt better and better.
Hello how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
My respect & love to you both for helping her become a happy dog. My prayers are with you. Keep up the good work.
Hey
That was challenging, because Bella had weight issues and needed to walk for exercise. But these great fosters didn't give up, and when Bella started to play, that was an important milestone!
Hello 👋
This is really heart warming here, I guess all she needs was some space because she was in a shelter for 130days. Do you have a pet?
Hey
It’s hard to let them go. Fostering can be an emotional experience. I still remember my fosters whom I let go. I had a few fails and those dogs turned out to be awesome. They’re all good. ❤️🐕
she looks like an older dog..its so great that people are still willing to adopt older dogs..they deserve to know what love is.. for however long they still have in this world..bravo to those people

Glad she finally got her hoomans trained properly.
