I love getting updates from people who have adopted my fosters. Today, though it wasn't directed to me, but the rescue in general, was a bit more special.
I only fostered this puppy a short time, maybe 3 weeks. I just don't do puppies very well, but I took her in until a more experienced puppy foster came back from vacation. Little black lab puppy, was with the rescue a total of 6 weeks (half with me). Was probably 4 months old when she got adopted. Well, the puppy's owner sent an update letting us know that the puppy (now about 2-3 years old), is about to graduate Search and Rescue school!!!

I just get warm fuzzies thinking about it!
I always wonder if I should send an update to the foster mom that took care of my black lab Fish for about a month before we rescued him. He was at a rural shelter after his former owners were forced to surrender him for neglect and alleged abuse. He did not do well at the shelter. He kept escaping - hopping 6+ foot fences. His foster mom lived in the area and volunteered from time to time.
You could tell when I rescued him that she really cared for him. He was in great shape. I sent her an email with some pics about 2months after we adopted him.
Maybe I'll drop her a line with some new pics. Its been about 13 months now.
Great story about your former foster!!! It must have been your early tutelage!!
Although I've only had Diesel for six months, I have sent the shelter two e-mails updates with pictures. I haven't heard a peep back...but I know they have their hands full.
After the deal with Spanky...long story, I sent the original gal a few pictures and updates but that was years ago.
After I officially adopted him from the rescue she was suppose to relinquish him back to (long story) I talked with her a few times. I should send her an update and pics.
Okay, I know what I'm doing tonight.
Thank you for pointing out my over-sight. Oops, my bad
