Life can feel pretty ruff when you're moving from shelter to foster home, back to the shelter, back to a (hopeful) forever home, just to be thrown right back into the foster system. Pups go through this vicious cycle every single day, and all it takes is one dedicated parent (Or doggo friend in the household) to warm them up and make them ready for their furever family. Pups in need often need a bunch of rehabilitation before getting thrown into the furever family lottery, and that's where foster pawrents like the one in this next story come in!

The pawrent who posted the video you're about to watch frequently rehabilitates "hard" cases of dogs in ruff situations. Their foster fail, Roo, became a foster fail in the first place because she never failed to help each doggo that came in through the revolving door. To ease the emotions of a scared, neglected dog isn't an easy feat, but Roo makes it look like a piece of cake. Not every day does a pawrent come across a special pup like Roo, but when it does happen, it couldn't be more heartwarming. Scroll below to watch the video in full.
