A WA family finds joy and transformation through their first foster pet

Dear SAFE team,

We dropped Bo off to his new family this afternoon for the big drive to Exmouth. He did so well, was very calm and hopped in the car without a fuss. A few tears from my boy on the way home (they really bonded) and he is asking already when can we get another foster!

Being our first time fostering, we were not entirely sure what to expect, but my gosh this has been an incredible experience. Bo has been the sweetest, loving, well-behaved boy and has brought so much joy and love to our lives in the short time we had him. We love that we were able to give this beautiful boy a soft place to land while he found a forever home that he truly deserves. We seriously got more from this than we gave.

My kids Nate (14) and Skye (11) have done an amazing job as foster carers, walking him daily and feeding him twice a day and not only showing him love but how to play. Bo was very quiet and timid when we first got him, cautious about taking food but slowly got more confident and began to play. He learned how to play fetch and spend time off the lead running through the water at the beach, zoomies with my son up and down the hall. This made our hearts very happy.  He continues to have the best manners around food and gives the best cuddles on the couch.

Thank you SAFE for all the amazing work you do and allowing us the opportunity to foster. It truly has been a highlight of our year, and we can't wait to do it again.

Regards,
Cally
