Former fosters adopted

I didn't have much luck placing any of my current crop of fosters this weekend, but two that I had passed off to other foster homes got adopted.

Ladybug (on the left in the picture) came from Tennessee just over a week ago.  She went to another foster home last weekend, and to her new adoptive home on Friday, after a rainy meet and greet with the adopter's other dog.  The woman was very excited to have Ladybug and for good reason--she is a great dog. 

The post-adoption news so far is good. The two dogs are having a great time together.
 

Harley (left) went home with a new foster also about a week ago, maybe two.  She toyed with the idea of adopting Harley herself but ultimately decided to let her go.  They met a potential adopter on Saturday but it wasn't a great match with the other dog in the home.  She then sort of happened into what seemed like the perfect adopter, someone else down here in the Charlottesville area.  Apparently she was somewhat uncomfortable with letting the dog go, even though it was a great home.  As luck would have it, the would-be adopter had second thoughts about adding another dog to their household, and that cemented the foster's decision to adopt Harley herself after all. 

It sounds like a bit of a roller coaster weekend, but only for the human.  At the end of the weekend the dog stayed where she was with only an imperceptible change in status from "foster" to "resident." It's a temporary loss of a foster home, but once things are settled she will be fostering again, as long as Harley approves. 

The third and final pic is one I stole from the FB page of Harley's foster and now adopter.  The dog in the picture isn't Harley, but this may just be the best human/canine photo I've ever seen. 

The hug, the kiss, and the look of pure joy tells me that Harley will have a great home and great life with this young woman.  She is a very lucky dog.
