🐶 Foster Friday: Finding Balance and Joy🐶 If you know me personally then you probably know that fostering dogs is one of my great joys. Both of my current dogs are foster fails and this little nugget is my 4th foster this summer. A couple weeks ago after handing back two 8 week old puppies, I had said to myself that I wouldn’t foster again until I accomplished some specific work goals. So I worked on them and worked on them and quickly felt myself becoming frustrated. I kept seeing how RACC(Richmond Animal Care and Control) was at max capacity and needed help and I started beating myself up for this stupid arbitrary rule I’d set for myself. Then yesterday my RACC foster coordinator reached out specifically asking if I could take this little guy in. I knew the minute I read the email that the answer was yes. Self-discipline is important… but so is knowing what energizes and gives you joy. Within a couple hours of saying yes I made a huge leap on one of my work goals. Releasing myself from my “punishment” actually helped me make real progress. On this Foster Friday, I’m reminded of the importance of balance. Balancing self-discipline with moments of self-care is essential, not just for our well-being, but for being able to be our best and give our best to others. What are you restricting yourself from that really energizes you? What brings you joy? Take a moment today to fill your bucket—you deserve it. #HappyFriday #FosterFriday #SelfCareMatters #adoptdontshop #balanceiskey #joyfulliving

Each year I foster a dog at my local animal rescue. It’s a small commitment that brings immense rewards, not just for the animal, but for me—and the wider community. Fostering is more than just providing a temporary home for a dog in need. It plays a key role in the work that rescues do to save lives. By opening your home to a dog, you’re directly supporting the mission of the rescue by creating space for other animals in need and helping them develop social skills and become more adoptable. But beyond the tangible benefits to the rescues and animals, fostering also has a profound impact on us as humans. It challenges us to be more compassionate, patient, and empathetic. It reminds us that we can make a difference in the lives of others, even in small ways. And it deepens our connection to the community, showing us how we’re all interconnected. I’ve seen firsthand how fostering helps transform not just the dogs, but the people who care for them. Every year, I walk away with new lessons in kindness, resilience, and the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. If you’ve ever thought about fostering, I encourage you to give it a try! Whether it’s a few weeks or a few months, you’re not just changing the life of an animal—you’re enriching your own life, too. #FosterDog #AnimalRescue #Volunteering #GiveBack #CompassionInAction
