A New Foster Family

Accepting a dog into foster care without much information can be daunting, but one woman embraced the challenge. Kaitlin Devoto took on this task knowing hardly anything about the dog she was to care for.

Upon picking up the dog in Cincinnati, she encountered an exquisite red poodle. Kaitlin noticed signs that the dog might have recently had a litter, but thought it was just a part of her past.

She shared: “It’s common to receive a puppy mill Momma who’s still lactating.” Despite her condition, the dog appeared malnourished. Kaitlin was determined to provide her with the nourishment she desperately needed.

Taking her home marked the beginning of a heartfelt journey. The dog’s gentle demeanor and need for care only fueled Kaitlin’s dedication to her new foster pet.

Adorable Little Surprise

Just four days after settling in, Kaitlin was startled awake by an unusual noise. She rushed to the dog’s bed and discovered a tiny, new puppy nestled beside the poodle.

Without her knowledge, the mama dog had given birth overnight. Kaitlin checked for more puppies, but it seemed this little one was the only addition.

Acting quickly, she made sure the mother and her baby were comfortable, providing them with soft blankets and a cozy space.

Upon closer inspection, the puppy, resembling a small nugget, was named “Chicky Nug.” The mama dog was soon christened “Mickey D” to match her tiny offspring’s name.

An Exciting New Future

Time passed, and Chicky Nug has grown into a playful and energetic pup. “He loves to run around and do zoomies,” shared Kaitlin with a smile.

Mickey D, once shy and reserved, now enjoys playing with new toys. Her shy demeanor is fading, revealing a more outgoing personality.

Currently, both Mickey D and Chicky Nug are still under Kaitlin’s care, thriving in their temporary home. The bond between them is heartwarming and evident in their playful interactions.

Soon, this loving duo will be ready for adoption. With the help of Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue, they will find their forever homes. Their journey from uncertainty to a loving family is almost complete.

A Story of Compassion

This story exemplifies the power of compassion in fostering pets. By opening her home, Kaitlin provided a safe haven for a dog and her surprise puppy.

Fostering not only changes the lives of animals but enriches the lives of those who care for them. It’s a journey filled with unexpected rewards and heartwarming moments.

As Mickey D and Chicky Nug prepare for adoption, their story reminds us of the profound impact love and care can have. Every foster story is a testament to the resilience and joy of animals.
