In this milestone episode of Sit Stay Rant, Amy, Tiffany, Gabby, and Emily welcome two fellow rescue workers, Amanda and Maya, to the conversation. Maya shares an emotional update about her long-term foster Frenchies, Goose and Maverick, both born with cleft palates. After undergoing surgery, these resilient little dogs are thriving, and Maya reminds us that “they have such a will to live.”

From there, the group dives into one of the most common phrases they hear: “I don’t know how you do this, it must be so hard to say goodbye.” Together, they unpack the bittersweet reality of fostering: the deep bonds that form, the joy of watching dogs thrive in new homes, and the misconceptions people often have about dogs becoming “too attached” to fosters to move on.

The conversation balances heartache with hope, spotlighting both the grit required to keep going in rescue and the incredible resilience of the dogs themselves.
