Albie the Chihuahua came to us from an overcrowded shelter in Quebec to find a better life.  His foster mom met us at the transport receiving location and it was obvious, right from minute one, that Albie had determined that she was his mom.  Other team members tried to walk him but he only wanted to be with his foster mom and kept his eyes on her the whole time.  This bond only strengthened in the time they spent together while we got Albie’s medical needs met and gave him time to settle in and show his true self.   Now that Albie is ready to be adopted we were not surprised at all when his foster mom told us that she wanted to adopt him.  We all celebrate this “foster fail” and know that Albie is thrilled that he and his mom get to spend forever together.  He couldn’t have found a better home.
