the woman who did this communicates so well with her dogs. She gets it, they get that she gets it.
She’s the perfect foster mom!
Alright i get it that she gets it and they get it that she gets it

Marshmallow is such a perfect name, so glad to see she's in a better home
So kind of you!
Ur name was hard for me to read it .
💕💕Right, I love the name!!!💕💕
I’d like but there’s 420 likes
No it’s not lol
I feel that the saddest part about fostering is that you have to let go one day ):
Fostering is one of the most generous and kind hearted acts, but it's just that if I were to foster an animal, I would be too emotionally attached to let go
I so agree with U♡♡ I would b a foster failure, lol
@@pilotrt letting them go is the best option for them, their mission is to find as many dogs forever homes as many as possible! There's way to many strays, it'd be impossible to keep every single one. But lending them that hand to find them people who will cherish that dog and love that dog till the very end, is why they let the dog go. Dog's deserve unconditional love.
That’s why my best friend has 6 cats and 2 huge dogs - she’s a failed foster. She tried to get me to foster as well, but I knew I couldn’t let them go. I did adopt 2 feral kittens, though, and I’m still in contact with their foster family who are just phenomenal people with huge hearts. I’m too selfish to do it, but I’m so glad that other people can. I donate money and food to shelters and rescues, but I know it’s not enough to save them all.
Same
I've done a little fostering, and if you can kind of keep things moving you and the animal don't get super attached. But the ones that need extra care ... foster fails lol. Especially with cats ...
The foster mom has a beautiful soul. We need more of her in the world
I'm so happy that Marshmallow has finally got the life she deserved.
Amen to that.
That's a gorgeous Great Dane. To the people that abandoned her, you will be paid in kind. And you let her starve too.
Such a sweet sweet soul this beautiful Great Dane has !!!
I pray she loves her new family
as much as they will love her 😘😍😍😍💞😘💞😘
Some people don't view animals as a blessed part of creation or even believe they deserve kindness. Humanity is at a crossroads! Let's hope love and kindness prevail
That's not a great dane :D
@@EngelinZivilBO tell that to the title lmao :p
@@kassidy904 yeah.. i guess they're all great danes for americans 😅
People who foster animals are so special. I can’t imagine what it does to you emotionally each time you have to say goodbye to an animal you’ve fallen in love with. So wonderful, I’m so happy Marshmallow has a safe and loving home now ❤️
I was supposed to foster a kitten I'd just found, but when my rescue pittie fell in love with him, I had to keep the little guy.
I don't know how they do it
It helps to think of the dogs as "not yours" from the beginning. Like, they're only with you "on vacation" before they go back to their family. I fostered six, failed once though ;)
Fostered a kitten and named her Honey. After a week of getting fat and rowdy and used to humans we turned her over to the shelter. She got adopted within the next few days.
A tip I got was "Do the opposite of what you like" So if you like clean house, do puppies. If you like active dogs, do seniors. You love them but you're kinda glad to see them go 😅 And even if you keep one or two, that's not a failure for the animal ;)
And you never 100% know if new people will be good for an animal behind closed doors. Very scary.
No idea how to cuddle? Good thing they didn't want her then (the previous owners). They don't deserve to have her in the first place since she wasn't even getting any love and be left all skinny. So glad she has found a wonderful home in the end. Bless everyone who was involved in her well being 💖
She was skinny because she ran away.
@@techbuyguide1 So HAPPY for Marshmallow and her Super Nice New Owners.
Marshmallow is GORGEOUS, who wouldn't love her? I would love to see a little follow up after she has settled in with her new forever family please
Don’t know how foster moms can do this. Love them all.
I know you have to let them go at one point. But it so hard. I babysat a cat for a week and cried when my friend came to pick her up. 😭
The fact that the owners didn’t want her is upsetting (If they didn’t want her bc of her than like WHAT) if they couldn’t have her because maybe something happened and they weren’t allowed to have her I understand
The Dog probably took a Dane sized dump on their carpet and they screamed at her and she ran away.
Probably the kind that wanted a big, tough dog then were disappointed when they got a mushy lovebug. Hate people like that.
Or: he got sick/was fired from work/got homeless............couldn't take care any more ????
they probably were the ones who left her wherever she was found, fucking sickos
@@kathidori8504 And so they just left her to fend for herself? How is that justifiable no matter their circumstances?
I love, love, love the spot on her head! She's a good girl!
So glad sweet Marshmallow became a cuddle bug. What a lovely dog.
We don't have any dogs in my family but my dad owns cows and there's a calf with a spot on his head exactly like that (except the spot is white). All my dad's cows are so lovely, not really fond if people getting too close but very well behaved.
1:02 that weird moment you realise that a dog is more of a people PERSON than you are 😂
She just prefers other species to her own, just like us 😉
@@featherlessbiped6586 no
Our dog is like that. He'll say hi to other dogs, but then is pretty much done with them. Wants to meet their owners.
Yeah, that made me chuckle. I wonder if the girl picked up on it herself.
@@Firsona Then he's a people DOG. The girl said people person.
Her eyes at the end of the video just melted my heart ❤
So glad Marshmallow got a new loving home! Be happy with your new family! And thanks to the Fosters too!!!!!
Omg when the dog started barking it scared the crap out of me cause I have headphones on and it sounded like there was a big dog behind me lol
That scared tf out of me too lmao
You can tell Marshmallow is quite confident and happy in her new home....that prance in her backyard says it all!! Well done everyone involved. 🙏🏼💜👑🏅🐾🐾😍
So glad sweet Marshmallow became a cuddle bug. What a lovely dog.
Really 99% wont see this god bless you and stay safe I am struggling for 600 with notification ❤👍 my channel name is = dopu hub
How could someone give up a great dane she is so adorable, so glad people like this are able to foster.
Omg. You can never get rid of her now. She's been abandoned once. Finally she feels safe. I love that! What a sweetie!
Edit: damn I posted that too soon. Glad she's happy now.
As a fellow foster Mom (KGDR) I have had over a dozen fosters over the past 4 years and only 1 foster fail (It took 3 days of having Lily in our home for us to fall madly in love with her). Letting them go to their furever homes is so very rewarding. Seeing the smile on Marshmellow's face reminds me of many of the wonderful love bugs that have come through my home. From one foster to another, thank you for all the hard work and love given to such a crazy breed. They complete a home!!
Unfortunately we have to give up our puppy soon. But we found some great people to help us through the process. This video is making me feel a lot better about him being able to settle in a new home and moving on.

It's sad when you lose a pet. But, hey, you at least know that they're going somewhere awesome.
Sorry that you have to give him up. That must be breaking your heart. It's okay to be sad about it. Don't bottle up your emotions. Then think of how awesome you are for making sure he's going to a great family and that you've done the most generous thing you can ever do for him. Take strength from this, and one day, when circumstances are right (whatever your reasons are for being in this situation, they will pass), you'll have a home in which to welcome another life. This pup wasn't meant to stay forever with you, but clearly this time you've spent together has been a wonderful thing for him. There is going to be another dog out there when the time is right who is supposed to be with you, and you'll have the best time of your life. Good luck and take care.
@@durgasharma1857 this is hardly the place and time to be pushing for subs. Please learn tact and perhaps you'll be successful. Nobody likes pushy people and that attitude will come back to haunt you if you continue on.
I rescued a 1/2 Dane 1/2 Pittie saved from dog fighting. He is the sweetest, most loving cuddle bug. He gets along with my other doggy and kitty rescues, and was a GREAT addition to our home. I'm thankful I welcomed Gunner into my home every day!!
So sweet. I'm glad she got a great home. She's got the perfect name. She looks very happy 😃❤️!
Her personality is just precious! So soft & gentle! Beautiful bb girl! ❤
Dogs can feel anxiety just like humans and, just like humans, they need love and understanding to deal with it. Watching these videos helps with my anxiety.
Keep it on leash in yard and feed it twice in week with raw meet.
Keeps unwanted guests outside😁🤣🤣
@@actionman4520
Thats not how dogs must be treated 😡😡😡😡
@@rajeswarypillay657 Dogs were always treated the way they were used for.This is your sentimentality talking.
@@actionman4520
You are living in the dark ages😂😂😂
@@actionman4520 yeah, well, you know... they used to say the same for medical practice, "it has always be that way, so it doesn't need to change", but then eventually progress happens.
It's a personal preference, of course, but I'm glad it did, so I'm not stuck with leeches and poultices during covid, if you get what I mean...
😅
No body will ever hurt her again! Thank you for all you do. I don’t see how u let them go. My dogs are my pack, and I m their pack! Bless u for all u do!
Take care of this little soul😍
Thank you so much to all you animal foster care and rehabilitation givers out there. You are just so incredibly important. I honestly don’t think I could handle being one. I’m an empath, so I emotionally bond with animals I am with any decent given amount of time. I would be an absolute wreck having to let go and see them depart to their forever homes. My heart would be perpetually broken over and over again.
Bless that lady's heart. I would have been a"Foster Fail" right outtta the gate. I give HUGE kudos to fosters. I don't know if I ever could.
What a beautiful girl, I'm glad she found her forever home.
Beautiful job!!! God bless you for your kindness in opening your home and heart to this sweet dog!
What a love bug. I hope her new parents adore her and love her as much as her foster parent did! This is one sweet pea that needs all the love her parents should shower her with. And Marshmallow is gorgeous.
This is so beautiful that it actually made me cry... these big dogs deserve all the love in the world.
Marshmellow has that unique marking atop her head, just like my Dilly! A mark to place your kisses upon! 😘🐕
She is a beautiful soul. I don't know how you do it, I could not just let a fur baby leave after all the love you give them and getting attached, God Bless you. There is a special place in Heaven for foster people like you. Thank you '
i can't be a foster parent..id be devastated when it's time for them to go..I'll end up keeping them all.
A tip I got was "Do the opposite of what you like" So if you like clean house, do puppies. If you like active dogs, do seniors. You love them but you're kinda glad to see them go 😅 And even if you keep one or two, that's not a failure for the animal ;)
I see your greyhounds in the mix! I’ve adopted retired racing greyhounds for 19 years. Great Danes and Greyhounds are such wonderful gentle giants. We have a soft spot for the hard to place XXL boys with previous broken hoc injuries. Adopters are often intimidated by the largest boys and worry that the previous hick injuries may translate to more vet bills in the future. Those big boys make the sweetest, best cuddles after they have time to adjust to their new life. I admire you opening you home and heart to fosters. They are blessed to have such a wonderful foster family to help them find their forever home!
She looks so atheletic, and adorable as well.
Reminds me of the Great Dane I fostered. So skinny and Bonded to me immediately. She was adopted and returned twice but now has the best family I could hope for. I cried like a baby when I said goodbye to her but know she has an amazing home.
This made me cry. She is sooooo beautiful. Bless her. When she started smiling, I was gone. Have a great life with your new family Marshmallow. Precious girl ❤️
Hello, could you please support my dog by subscribing to my channel ❤️ I really hope to reach 70 subscribers 🙏
Bless this women, and people like her, that rehab animals and get them ready for their furever families.
Of course she won't be rowdy she is a classy lady.
Welp if you forget her laying upside down like some rowdy. 😂
Thank you for what you do for these beautiful animals. You were meant to do this.
Much respect from David from England UK.
I would never have let that dog go so confusing for her! She so loved her foster😪
Thank you so much for fostering Marshmallow and enduring the bitter/sweet of passing her on to her forever home. You already have quite the herd there. :)
Best weighted blanket ever!
Marshy is a beautiful Great Dane. Happy she found a loving calming family that fit her perfectly. ❤️❤️🐾🐾
Shes a big Friend you have there
She is an absolute angel...so glad she found a wonderful home.
marshmallow is such a sweetheart 💗
Would you say you have a _soft_ spot for her?

@@kris-tarot 👏👏😆🤣🤣 Bravo! ☁️🍫🔥
@@kris-tarot if you don't use that "s'mores" one in the main comments, I'm gonna steal it from you!! Jk lol! 🤣
2:28 her face! She looks so happy! Awwwww I am in loveeeeee!😍😍
Love the little “power button” on top of her head.
So sweet that you take them in. And even sweeter that you let them go. That's true love. Sniff. Sniff.
I want to huggle her, she's so sweet! 🤗
I love Marshmallow!! What a sweet beautiful girl. Thank you for rescuing her and loving her.
She's a good girl!
Foster Mom looks like Kate Winslet. Nice.
Agreed, she's just like a big marshmallow, very sweet & I can see her smooshing & melting into you for a big cuddle! I Love seeing these stories, Thank You!
Sweet baby got her forever home!🥰
Danes are such sweet dogs. Marshmallow is a perfect name for her. Her coloring is just gorgeous.
She's beautiful!
You've really helped her.
Who wouldn't want her? She's so sweet, so pretty, such a good girl. Glad she found good people xo
Her eyes ✨✨
I love Danes. They hold a very special place in my heart, especiallyafter having looked after one.
I’ve got a very tiny cat, her name is also Marshmallow. She kept staring at the screen every time her name was called 😅
Thank you for rescuing her! She's so sweet! It's good she has a new home! Good story!
I LOVE people that are good with animals ! ❤
How could anyone not want her? She's a treasure...and all dogs are treasures and should be treated as such
I ❤️ you guys very much. Thank you for this.
You deserve more subs!! 👍
@@anthonychihuahua 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@liannamarie5136 I'll subscribe to you! #35👍 Have a super weekend 🌞
@@anthonychihuahua thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Danes are sooo great. I love how they sit on your lap.
Marshmellow is the main ingredient everyone should want for their sweet s'mores treat 🍫
the sweetest great dane that will surely *melt* anyone's 💗
I’m always glad when dogs are surrendered because it always means they end up in better places. Thank you Surrenderers❣️
So cute how she lives kisses. One of my cats is like that with the kisses too
Amazing that there are assholes that would surrender this angel. I love people like this woman who really contribute to what is GOOD in this world. Bless them and this wonderful animal.
2:03 We all laughed at this, don't lie
The way u took care is really heart warming
my friend.Thank you so much for sharing the.

Dogs respond to love with love. You can tell a person's character by their dogs consistent mood.
BEAUTIFUL 🤩
The previous owners that did not want her obviously had no idea how privileged they were to have such a beautiful creature in their lives. I had a gorgeous blue great dane since 8 weeks old till 7 years of age when cancer cut his life short and he was the best dog I have ever owned and miss him tremendously every day. He made those seven years the best period of my life.
Well done by giving marshmallow the love and kindness she deserves 😍
Marshmallow: Puppuccino
Me, a man of culture: *D U N K A C C I N O*
Thanks Kim, very cool!
Has anybody noticed how stunningly beautiful the foster lady is? 🤗
Owners supposed to be Mom Dad of these angels , and they don't want him now, I can't digest that part.
Thank you for what you do for these beautiful animals. My Great Dane, Tara who was a fawn, lived until she was 11 years old and I was only 7 when we first got her as a puppy. Those 11 years were the most wonderful of my life and I still miss her every day even though I was 18 when she passed away and that was 40 odd years ago now. Penny, a friend of my mums, was so enamoured with Tara that she ended up having four danes, a fawn, a brindle and two blues, from rescue centres over the next 20 or so years, giving them all wonderful lives. The first of these, called Sasha, became Tara's best friend and we often looked after her, both of them often sleeping on my bed so that I often ended up waking up on the floor having lost the battle to retain my own sleeping place.
I believe that the dog feels frustrated and insecure when it changes owners...
Poor baby! They are such gentle giants,so sweet natured and serene .
Poor dog was abandoned once, then got used to a new home and family and then had to get used to a third family. Poor dog.
This woman is extremely experienced and knows exactly how to rehab a dog.... KUDOS!!! ❣💯😍🙏🏽🐾
i also want a dog but i cant afford it.
That is the most noble thing in my opinion
There are lots of people who buy pets but they end up being abused and living sad lives because the owners have too little money, but they got the dog just because it's cute
That's a very responsible outlook that very few people understand. Good for you.
Same. I also don't have the time.
Great Danes are especially expensive too. Hopefully your circumstances will let you have a dog someday!
your time will come, you're doing the right thing now, you will know when the time is right, you'll know when you can handle that responsibility. good luck!
when a dog is sweet like this one you always see it in the eyes cant explain it but i jus see it
The owners need to be arrested and charged with animal neglect!
this lady is patient,
understanding. kudos to her ❤❤
I couldn´t do your job, I would end up with a house full of dogs I couldn´t let go.
Same here I would be worried where they actually go! Dogs are part of my Life ,getting up for them ,doing Breakfast ( part mine😁bread and butter or toast and butter)
“Called the owners and they didn’t want her”... ASSHOLES! She is clearly a queen that deserves all the love.
I iust feel terrible for her tho that she has two humans shes grown to love and be dependent on suddenly send her off to someone else. Painful to think about
The stretches are the best because its that early sign they are comfy. Slept well and felt comfortable relaxing
She probably was abused by the other animals in her previous home. It takes them awhile to come out.
Marshmallow is so calm and gental. What a sweet baby love her.
Roses are red and the sky is blue
My wish is to get a dog
But I know it's not gonna come true 😭😭
Great Dane's are awesome! They are a breed that has some trouble medically, but cherish them! I had one who passed at 4 yrs old. He had such a life of love!
My heart goes out to all foster parents for humans and animals. I can only imagine how difficult it is letting them go. Thank you for what you do. ❤️
