Not if she doesn't want to keep him. Being able to foster must be a rare trait... able to love and say goodbye over and over again. I totally honor that since I know it would be impossible for me. Whoever adopts Drake needs to give him lots of exercise. He's looking a little chunky. 😄🙏

This family is doing right by that dog, and for others that will be rescued because of them. It’s the most unselfish act to adopt out a dog you have created a bond with in order to foster and save more dogs. Clearly they will only adopt this special dog out to a family that has as much to give as they do (and if it does become a foster fail so be it). Lovely video and a lovely family!💛

I always thought that pitties are dangerous. That is until I adopted a senior pit at my local shelter 8 months ago. He was there for over a year. My heart broke for him. I can honestly say he is the sweetest dog who loves all people. He was listed as a mastiff mix due to his brindle coat, but my vet confirmed he is actually a pit instead. Best mistake ever that convinced me to advocate for him instead of against him😊❤❤❤❤

I think that Drake has already found his forever home with you and your family!! we all know that you love him and he is bonded with your adorable daughter. JUST ADOPT HIM ALREADY. you can still foster other dogs too!!

Prayers that drake finds a true forever home and will give a family many years of love and happiness ❤

The thing that gets to me is that dogs donʻt understand the concept of "foster" home. To him, heʻs just home. And losing it will be just the latest in the line of homes heʻs lost.

Thank you for fostering Drake, and the 19 dogs before him. It takes strong kind sensible and selfless people to foster dogs. I'm sure the goodbyes are always happy/sad occasions but I hooe are also filled with pride of how far they've come. You do an AMAZING service for these dogs preparing them for their new lives, and opening your home and family once again to another lucky dog. I tip my hat to all who have the strength and kindness to do this.

Also, the accolades go to those who rescue and foster cats/kittens. Again, the same story of irresponsible pet ownership. People who should never be allowed to have cats & dogs in the first place. Shelters/pounds are just convenient dumping grounds for a sick human society.

Oh come on! How can you give him away???? He belongs with your family! I would give up fostering for him!!!! I would not have the gut to let him go or be a foster parent!😢

Don't know how you can endure all those pathetic people who drop off devoted family members sanctioning their death warrant. Housing? Go live in a garage, health issues? Your devoted companion will be by your side 24/7. The best medicine money can't buy. Basically, this is all about heartlessness and turning their backs on their own salvation.

he is so gentle taking the food from this baby. Says it all ❤🧡❤🧡

I'm in agreement with the first commenter, he has already chosen and bonded with your family... he has been through so many "returns"😢😢. Put yourself in his paws 🐾🐾, aww please reconsider.

I agree. Animals don't understand the concept of 'foster home'. They just understand they're being rejected yet again. So sad.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider, your family and Drake were brought together for a reason, he’s bonded with your whole family, he loves you all and I know you love him - DON’T SEND HIM AWAY, he’s way too special!!

Or listening to the fact that they already have a dog and a 1 year old kid. Fostering (or having dogs) needs a lot of energy and ven money. Why do you question these amazing people's decision? As someone who was fostering dogs letting go one that seems a perfect fit for you is a hard, but very important decision. The two dogs I "gave up" although we had special bonds had or have their best lives. And they found their real home. Meanwhile I was able to save multiple lives (not just the ones you take out, but the dogs that can have their places in the shelter!) and help people to find an important member of their lives. That's called selfless deed. These stories teach lessons. This one was about fostering and judging certain breeds. No one is in the position to judge this remarkable couple.

IDC what people say about pitbulls and IDC what u say about the pitbulls they deserve a second chance just like other dogs do. End of conversation.

I could never foster, puppy comes in my house, puppy stays. I've got a rescue Heinz 57 pup and a rescue tornado of a cat, they are bff's. Turns out they rescued me.

I was hoping you would keep him. He’s a special dog.

I appreciate people wanting you to keep this dog but foster carers are a priceless part of the dog rescue effort. This video should ensure that this beautiful dog will find a great forever home and these legends will be able to foster many more needy dogs. Love your work guys.

It's really sad because pit bulls hold strong bonds he'll be sad if he leaves them.....

Without fosterers like you many more dogs would be euthanised. Thank you for fostering. I hope Drake finds his forever home very soon ❤

Poor guy. He really looks like he was treated very well when he was young. It probably broke the owners hearts to surrender him.

He loves you , don't send him away to another home.

Keep him he loves you guys❤❤❤❤

Pets are victims of the housing crisis. Thanks for fostering Drake and being understanding. Hope he finds a forever family and home as happy as yours.💕🐾🐶☮️🙏

Nooooo. After the rains he has already endured, please don’t pass him off AGAIN! He does not deserve that. He’s a beautiful, special boy and deserves a wonderful home like yours. ❤

I can't imagine the pain of surrendering a loved pet. 😢

I currently volunteer at PG animal shelter. We need more fosters!! We need this stupid BSL bs to end. Education is key. The dogs aren’t the problem here!

How could you possibly put this poor dog into a disruptive situation again, anyone can clearly see he has chosen your family for his family,he belongs with you !

You need to keep him . ❤ he gets along so well with your family ❤. 🙏 keep him ❤

Please, PLEASE keep him. I usually never comment in this way on these videos because I truly understand how important it is to have space available for other fosters, but it is so obvious that he has chosen you as his family.

Apparently in the 19th and 20th century pitt bulls were called Nanny dogs because they stayed in the nurseries with children 😁 isn't that nice ❤❤ my neighbor had one and that doggie snuck into my house every night to sleep upstairs with my kids! Lol it was really funny

Drake! Gorgeous boi. Thank you for fostering Drake. Best wishes.

I had 7 different breeds of dogs over the years, and my 8th rescue was a Staffy mix, half deaf, and traumatized. Best dog I've ever had, my soul dog, and although I never say never, I see myself only adopting American Staffy mixes for the rest of my life. I don't even mind the drooling, the cost of the indestructible bed, the people that avoid us because they think he'll eat them or their napoleon sized doggo. He's the most loving and loyal dog ever.

Thanks for bringing up the reality that poverty has on pet surrender. I love animals, but I sadly have never been able to responsibly own one due to a poor financial situations. So I haven’t. I try to donate here and there when I can to shelters. It’s not much, but the best I can do. Thanks for the videos! They always warm my heart!

Please keep this baby.he loves you guys😢❤

Please adopt him. He loves you and your family. Dogs that good with babies are few and far between. I dont know anyone who would let a baby hand feed a dog let alone a pit bull. He belongs to you in his little precious heart.

Drake deserves a forever home. Some one please adopt this sweet bully breed. They make the best companions. 🥰

Pit Bulls are the Best! Good Luck Drake, finding your forever home!👍👍❤️

God bless the rescue that pulled him to safety, and to these amazing foster families. I pray Blake gets the perfect forever home. He is precious.

He gets along so well with their dog and baby- how could u not keep him.???

All these comments saying keep him...smh! Come on folks, as animal fosters we cannot keep every animal we foster! What about the rest of the dogs at the shelter who are highly adoptable and facing euthanasia due to lack of space? Hopefully a wonderful family will watch this video and see what a wonderful family dog he would be and adopt him, ergo, many more dogs will be given a second chance too.

You can tell how gentle he is by how he takes the food from the baby's hand.

You are exactly right when you mention housing issues for the owner is a big issue with adopting a pit bull especially. I have a dog named Ivy and she is a Blue Nose Pit Bull. She looks just like this dog but all grey color. I live in New Jersey so I think housing is an issue almost anywhere, especially with the breed of a Pit unfortunately. Ivy is the sweetest girl, loves to be a lap dog, gives soooo much loving, happy all the time, follows commands and everything but none of that matters. When I was relocating it was almost impossible to “RENT” anything apartment/condo/townhome/ house with Ivy. Even when I found places that advertised “pet friendly”. As soon as they saw Ivy or when they asked my the breed of the dog and I stated a pit bull almost every place stated they don’t lease to dogs of that breed. I did find one home that would rent to me with Ivy, and since that was the ONLY place that would rent me a home with her I had only one option as far as where we were going to live bc giving her up was NOT an option for me. Unfortunately there was stipulation on renting to me with a Pit Bull. I had to pay a $1,600 deposit (in case Ivy trashed the house when we moved out, which I would end up breaking something by accident more than she would) even tho Ivy is house-broken and has NEVER chewed on anything or recked anything OTHER than her chew toys/bones. Plus I had to pay an extra $75 fee every month with my rent. I can totally relate to most people not being able to pay the ridiculous deposit AND monthly fee. Unfortunately they make it almost impossible OR too expensive to be able to house a Pit Bull when I honestly have NEVER met a Put Bull that wasn’t the nicest/ well mannered/ happy dog. They are not bad dogs. In certain instances they have BAD owners who teach them and make them do horrible things. So I can COMPLETELY understand, personally, how housing makes, being a Pit Bull owner, almost impossible unless you own your own home. I really hope and pray someone adopts him. He is ready for his forever home. He even seems like he y it a already house-broken, good with other dogs, AND CHILDREN. All perfect things that should help him get adopted quickly. Someone please see this and take him home. He deserves it!!

I live in prince George's county.Its far from a place you'd want to live in. It has a high crime rate. I know there's many more great dogs available from the Prince Georges County Animal Shelter in upper marlboro, MD. I got my boy there, so please look online to see there dogs, or visit the shelter.

I wouldn't have the courage or faith to do what you do. I admire you so much and thank you on behalf of dogs and dog-lovers everywhere!! xo

He literally seems like he could not be in a more perfect place than where he is right now.

I pray that the right family/person sees your video and sees what a loving boy Drake is, and what a beautiful nature he has, and decides Drake is the dog for them. 🙏🙏🙏🐕💕💕💕🙋🇬🇧

Who’s a goooooooddd bbboooooyyyyy Who just wants to give him a great pat 👇

I've seen videos of dogs reunited a year or two after being adopted with their foster parents, and the love and excitement is still there. So I wonder if they feel pangs of disappointment and betrayal. But we do it for the greater good, which means more dogs get into homes and out of shelters and safe from being put down. It's something we on the outside don't like to see, but unless a huge number of people begin fostering and adopting, this is the best system that has been found, I guess.

He is a bundle of love. Whoever adopts him is so blessed.

I'm in PA, im gonna talk to my husband. Do you know hoe he is with cats? We have a nice big back yard with an in ground swimming pool. Love to go camping and of course would take him along. We do have an English setter but I fear he will not be with us much longer due to health issues. Like I said we have cats, 4 to be exact. All rescues and I was looking to adopt a pitty. Do you know his age?

Be brave and make Drake your forever dog. Other commentators are right - you were brought together for a reason. He fits your house, and your life, and your family. You are a smart lady - don't let him go... you will never forgive yourself. He has been through enough already, and as far as Drake is concerned - he is home.

For the people in the comments….you can’t keep the dogs you foster because then many times you can’t keep fostering. This is the gift of fostering. It’s sad sometimes but rewarding knowing that animal is going to a great home and you can open your home to another foster. Drake is still available for adoption!

A sweetheart of a dog. Hope he finds a loving, forever home soon.
