Fostering a puppy is a special kind of kindness For people to accept stray or abandoned dogs in their home and help them recover from the emotional turmoil they had to deal with is just a heroic act
So many of these dogs desperately need a new fresh start and until they can get one a foster parent is there every step of the way to make sure they heal up and get ready to step into their forever home
In this story we will talk about a dog who has gone through so much but also had another surprise on the way that nobody knew about
A New Foster Family

When she first agreed to foster a dog Kaitlin Devoto didnt know much In fact she knew nothing at all
She said for the Dodo I didnt know the gender or age The first time we knew what she looked like was when she arrived in Cincinnati when I picked her up
When she was at the pickup center in New York she saw the most beautiful red poodle She noticed that the dog might have been producing milk but assumed it was probably due to a litter
She continued by saying Its not unusual to receive a puppy mill Momma whos still lactating When their puppies are weaned moms are no longer useful
The dog also seemed like it had been starving for a long time but Devoto has a very nutritious solution for that She grabbed the poodle and took her home
Adorable Little Surprise

Four days after she took the dog into foster care she was awoken by something unusual She came to the dog and realized there was a small puppy in the dog bed
Apparently she delivered him over the night and Devoto was completely oblivious to the fact it happened
She checked to see if there were any more puppies on the way but it turned out that it was just that one
Devoto knew she had to act fast so she did her best to make sure the momma and her baby were comfortable She took a few comfortable blankets and placed them next to the dogs
When she examined the new puppy he was male and resembled a chicken nugget hence the reason for his new name
The woman said He was very quickly named Chicky Nug But I was stumped on a name for Momma that fit the same theme
Now all she had to do was name his mom and it had to fit the new theme so she was called Mickey D
An Exciting New Future

Time has gone by and the newborn puppy has now grown quite a bit and is very playful Devoto said He loves to run around and do zoomies And hes very interested in biting toes and toys
Mickey also loves playing with her new toys and apparently her shy attitude is dwindling and she is becoming more outgoing as time goes on
Currently the dog family is still with Devoto and is enjoying their stay there However soon they will go with a new family to their forever homes The dogs will go through a standard adoption process with the help of Louies Legacy Animal Rescue in New York
Its unclear if they found their new families but there is no doubt in my mind that someone will want to adopt such adorable dogs
