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.
Yeah I could never foster, I'd keep all the animals lol!
Hello Susan
I admire fosters so much, but I could never do it myself. After all that work, I'd want that pup!
@@Mandy_39 I knew I could foster. Uh-huh, yes ma'am! I'm down to 'only' 9 dogs now. Bought a home on a half acre out of the city to accommodate all of the origional 12 dogs. 3 have passed away. (I miss them.) I am such a failed foster!!! I am not fostering anymore. It's harder to do than it looked.... giving them up. I will keep only 2 dogs in the future after all my dogs have lived out their natural lives. I admire "real foster" people.... those that find good homes for their foster pups!! I am not one!! I guess I didn't get the memo that said.... "good foster homes don't mean Only your home!!"
@@americanpatriot7247 If anyone says anything, you're not a 'foster fail', you're just incredibly thorough.
A million thanks to the foster parents out there giving these innocents a chance to be happy.
The one dog walking another dog...it's just priceless. Such a beautiful dog, she must have had a pretty dark past.
@Tom Morrison I mean, the dog will probably go on to maul some child, so I think it's even.
@Tom Morrison There looked to be bite marks on her head. She could have been a bait dog. I think anyone who participates in dogfighting should just be shot.
@@noremac0575 What is with this comment? Do you realize what you said is just awful? To maul a Child? What is wrong with you? To say such an idiotic statement boggles my mind. Poppy is NOT viscous, but was totally the opposite, terrified to death of everything she wanted to be un-seen by the World. I question what type of person you are. Seriously.
@Tom Morrison Probably so. That comment was absolutely horrible. One must think what type of person He/She is to even say such a sick thing.
@@noremac0575 Good luck learning what basic words mean, because "probably" doesnt mean what you think it means. And good luck in therapy, as you CLEARLY need some.
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!
Shout out to Oak for being such a gentle, loving sister to that precious bébé! They’re all so blessed.
Oak is Amazing, very beautiful and intelligent, she has helped tremendously.
💯
Hello
@@Beekind2527 that’s what Malinois do smartest dog on the planet why we use them in the army as our only mwd I lost my Malinois almost two years ago in her prime to cancer but I was honored enough to have a pit bull I took in become her brother and he was laying there on the floor cuddled with her when her body shut down and she died with both of us beside her I’m glad they had each other and I’m honored to have had the two best breeds at the same time and I’ll always have them while I’m alive completely different breeds but their traits are both alike except it’s hard to make a pit bull a bite qualified k9 because they’re not made for it like the maligator is but it’s the same for both no better friend no worse enemy
@@robertmccready5874 sorry to hear about your buddy, however great to know he was well loved and cared for. Thank you for taking great care of your dogs.
Malinois dogs are amazingly beautiful and intelligent and brave, and thank you.
I only respect those who love animals. THANK YOU for helping this beautiful dog.
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.
Hello Donna 👋
@@thomasmark7219 do l know you?
@@donnamead3138 no you don’t but we can be friends
@@thomasmark7219 I don't think so. I have a boyfriend.
@@donnamead3138 ok☺️
You never rushed her into anything. She was so lucky to wind up with you to rehabilitate. Thank you!!!
Poppy looks like she has a kitten on her nose. How cute!
What a good eye! I had to go back and look, and sure enough, there’s a black cat on her nose!!! 🐈⬛
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.
Michele & Rylee sound like such amazing people! Angels for bringing sweet Poppy back to life. My heroes! 😇
Doesn't everybody want a 90 lb lap dog? I could never give poppy away. Thanks for your love. Philadelphia USA
Patience was key here and this wonderful lady has that down to a tee.
This lady is superwoman. She was so patient with this dog and let the dog make the decisions on how quick the dog wanted to progress. You are an amazing woman. God bless you.
She kind of got stuck half way through the process from foster to forever home.She is a "Forever Foster" 😘
I have a "forever foster". I've worked with our local shelter for years and know the staff, vet and volunteers well. Last week the director came by with food and med supplies for Abby Girl (age 13!) and said she wishes they could clone a dozen of me. That is probably the best compliment I've ever received! Hats off to all foster parents!!! ❤
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.
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!♥️🐕
Hello Maggie 👋
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.
Maybe nothing. We have to realize, most pets need something stablized to feel safe. The kennel can be both tramatizing, but also a safe space. So, when they are faced with something new and unfamiliar, they may be afraid, especially if they lack a strong pack leader.
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!
💜
Beautiful story...❤️
Im so happy the second foster mum kept her. I think she would be really confused and unsettled.
Hello Amanda
How are you doing
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.
Omg some people are a disgrace, thank god she has you to help her over come the trauma
LOVE! ❤️
Hello Patricia
How're you doing
Hello I am ok thank you, how are you doing?
@@patriciabourke1930 I'm pretty good thanks for replying back
@@patriciabourke1930 where are you from?
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.
agreed!!
Poppy is such a sweet. This is a breed know for being supposedly aggressive. I can't imagine what she went through to be this fearful. Happy she found her forever home.
Hi
How are you
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!
Hello Liz 👋
Michele, foster caregiver, when I read that a pitbull is "terrified," I immediately think of the sheer terror experienced by child and adult victims of pitbull attacks.
From Daily Mail on May 3, 2022, attack by a pack of pitbulls. Victim's sister interviewed: 'When she passed out they were eating her alive. The dogs dragged her. They scalped her. Her skull was showing. They tore her left eyelid off.
'They tore her right cheek off left a hole. They ate the skin off her inner thigh and ate the flesh off her arms and ripped them off.
Doctors were forced to wait for a month for the infection from the deep bites to subside before they were able stitch up the gashes on her forehead and scalp.
Her sister continued: 'She said doctors had to put 109 staples in the front of her head and at least 90 staples in the back of her head.'
A trachea tube was placed in her throat because the bacteria from the dogs mouth got into her esophagus which her sister said is now permanent.
She also lost her vocal chords and now is forced to speak using a voice-generated box."
@@Nancy-fm1ie when you speak about humans i immediately think about the sheer terror faced by the victims of Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Charles Manson, Zodiac Killer, Son of Sam and countless others.
@@Nancy-fm1ie That is awful. I wonder how starving those dogs were. Where did they escape from?
@@asheeshsinha2631 You and Jennifer are proving Nancy right. By thinking everything is a pit bull. By thinking every dog and pit bull mix (mutt) is a pit bull. Nancy is right by everything she says . I told you a million times . The only and real pit bull is the APBT. 99% of dog attacks are mixed dogs mislabeled as Pit bulls.
WOW what a beautiful Girl our Pit Bull just pass last year in Dec.we love Dogs but specially Pittiys, she's so pretty her color and she's so playful,I'm so happy she found her forever home thank you for sharing.
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!
Hi
Thank you, thank you, thank you all!
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.
🥰
Aw! Im so happy for Poppy. Thank you Michelle for giving her a forever home 🏠🏠🏠
Hello!👋
My goodness that pittie is beautiful.💕🌼
I’m so happy for Poppy, she will have the life she deserves!!! She has her pack now, nothing but freedom, food, shelter, happiness & love ~
Thank you for sharing & caring animal love.
Also, I just don’t get how humans could do that to a dog, they must of been monsters, it’s horrible, unforgiving! I felt so sorry for Poppy, that humans scared her. But not ever again! That’s what makes me happy now for Poppy!
Question - Is OAK a male or female?? JW
~ lots of doggie love Fur-ever!!!!! 🐾
Hello karoon
How are you doing
OMG, the perfect furever home! ❤️
💕
Heartbreaking to see her at the beginning of the video....she has obviously been beaten 😢....Thank you for Loving her ❤️ x
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 am soooo happy that was a foster fail! I can't imagine that sweet pittie having to adjust once again to a new home!
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 ❤️❤️❤️
Precious girl. Thank you!
Hello Mary
How are you doing
Another happy ending for such a special boy! It brings joy to my heart.
💕💕💕
Hey
Thank you for loving this sweet dog. 🦴
It's so heartwarming how she was terrified to a energetic dog!
God Bless you for doing what you do. Thank you for helping our fur babies. ❤
Hello Dee
How are you doing
I'm okay and you?
@@deecoulton5467 I'm good
@@deecoulton5467 where are you from?
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.
I had a dog who would get sick in the car too. One day my sister had to ride in the backseat (no dog) and SHE got carsick. It was a dodge neon, a car very low to the ground, a lot of wheel noise in the backseat. Shortly thereafter I bought an SUV with more room in back for my dogs to ride in (I had 2 large dogs), and my dog never got sick again. Just saying it may also be the type of vehicle in addition to the dog’s fear.
Good luck with your pup, I have lived with 3 very fearful dogs, some get over it sooner than others. The one I have now runs if I drop ANYTHING, including a sheet of paper. He’s running for the hills! Unfortunately, I am a big clutz and I drop things often. I’ve had him a little over two years now and he is finally getting used to me dropping things! He still runs but comes back from a shorter distance away! And he is definitely still afraid of new situations. BTW - he’s 120 pounds of Mastiff Rottweiler mix. 😆. Love him to pieces, makes me laugh everyday.
Nice!
@@nmtsaki that’s funny and awesome
@@nmtsaki Your new dog sounds awesome though; I have a soft spot for Rotties and Rottie mixes (my previous dog was 1/2 Rottie and 1/2 Doberman, best girl ever!). I also LOVE really big dogs. Our last dog was a big and tough 96 lb. GSD/ Lab mix. Our dog now has gotten so much better, but he follows me around like I am made out of bacon. Pet your fur baby for me and have a great weekend!!
I'm glad you are working to escalate the fear response, hopefully he won't keep getting carsick!
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!
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.
Stop calling it a fur baby, it's a pitbull. They're legit the worst breed you could own
@@noremac0575 I think they’re misunderstood. The owners of this breed would definitely disagree with you. I know their reputation is awful but a bad owner/master can turn any dog, from the tiny little 4-pound fur ball to a 150-pound St. Bernard mature dog into an angry, snapping aggressive thing that is truly scary to behold because he looks like if he gets hold of you he will rip you to pieces. Dogs, just like humans, know and do what they are taught. You train with love and kindness not with pain and threats.
With enough threats, pain and beatings you can turn the sweetest of animals into monsters of your nightmares.
@@noremac0575 ~ 2:55 ~ The little dog looked more vicious.
@@noremac0575 That’s a mutt . The APBT (American Pit Bull terrier) is the only and real pit bulls
@@joyceseleska8622 The bad reputation comes people mislabeling dogs . That’s not a pit bull either
Yippee 4 Poppy,thank God & bless U!!🕊
Bless your heart.
You have made two dogs very happy...
Me too.
She deserves all the happiness and love life can give her.
You promised to give Poppy the best life. You kept that promise.
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 ❤️❤️❤️
😘🥰
Dog lovers are some of my favourite people! Thank you for rescuing her.🇨🇦
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 🇦🇺
That is proof that humanity doesn't deserve dogs
Poppy and Michele... two beautiful girls with beatiful souls. ❤
I love a happy ending ❣❣💕
It is a lot of work. Worth it. ❤
That's the beautiful thing about fostering animals, you never know when you're going to come across that soulmate.
I think it’s lovely that the adopter maintained contact with her original foster carers. Speaks volumes of goodness from both of those families. X
I'm so happy that poppy found her forever home thank you both for loving her and giving her the life of happiness.😍
People who foster animals are extraordinary human beings!
Hey
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!🥰🐾😘
Hello

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

Love your big hearts and them baby puppy’s!
Hello Jane
How are you doing
What a beautiful girl! I'm so glad the second foster was a FAIL - LOL
💞
These women know what they doing with dogs! Love this!
💞💕
beautiful friendship w those pups. love the Oak walking Poppy 😊 part. best friends forever ❤
Very heartbreaking 💔 She was probably beaten 😢 Bless you all for loving, rescuing, and nurturing her to life and health ❤😢🙏 Her nose has a heart shape on it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey
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 am deathly afraid of animals, but I always watch these and start crying. I wish I had the nerve to get a dog and take good care of it
Thank you for devoting your time, talent and love for fostering and then finding the ultimate loving home.
Hi💕💕
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.💕🙏💕
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.
I'm so happy the second lady was committed to giving this wonderful dog a beautiful life! To the monsters that treated her badly you'll get your payback one day.
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.
Hi
I cried too 🥹… thank you Reilly 🙏
Hey
So so happy for poppy her life has changed from a nightmare to an amazing one thanks guys for helping her achieve this
EVERY dog deserves to be happy. Go Poppy, go!!
Poppy is GORGEOUS! Riley walking Poppy is PRICELESS! LOVE this story!!!❤
💢💞
Hey
GOD BLESS everyone who made this possible!!! THANK YOU for helping her!!!
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🙏💛💛🌷
Yes how beautiful....❣️
Good job young lady. You now have a friend for life
Oh, I thank God that Rylee kept Poppy & you Michele for fostering her so lovingly!!
Who ever made her feel that way, should be treated the same way! Bless her and you 🙏 ❤
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💜
1:16 that look on her face is priceless...
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.
Yes! I despise people who abuse animals. They’re the worst!
Or even indifference... Which I suppose is a different type of cruelty.
Poppy has got family and friends. ! Life is better and a finally a forever home ! Thanks for caring and sharing !!
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 😿😿
Thank you. Thank you for taking care of her, & thank you for loving her. Thank you for getting her into the perfect home! 😅💕🐾🐶🐾💕
Hey
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~🤗
People like you unfortunately are very rare .... I was in tears too ... Beautiful dog
Amazing- thank-you so much for the doing and the sharing.
I’ve really got to stop watching these videos… they’re so sweet and make me cry 😭🥰💕
Same here too but how are you doing?
Beautiful Poppy living her best life.
Well done everyone. 🐶❤️
💞💕
Thank you for taking care of Poppy .
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.
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.
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 💕
Hello Angie
That was a tear jerker, so happy that Poppy is loved by so many people and in her Furever home xx
And, I'm also crying thinking about it! Thank you for giving Poppy the best life. Love her.
Thank goodness Poppy got a good loving home. thank you!
