Fostering dogs isn’t easy.
It’s normal to quickly get attached to the dogs who are sharing your space for a little while, and it can be pretty sad when you have to give those animals back.
A TikTokker named Gillian knows all about this and she posted an emotional video on the social media platform and talked about the dilemma she had in regard to a dog she was fostering.

Gillian told viewers, “I’m having a mental breakdown because I just fostered a dog on Saturday.”
She continued, “It’s now Monday at 2 p.m., and I just got an email that there’s an adoption event on Saturday that I was supposed to bring him to to get adopted and I don’t want him to.”
Then Gillian started to cry.

She said, “I love him already, and I feel like an absolute freak and I think I have to keep him. I love him so much.”
Gillian then showed the dog to viewers.
She added, “Oh my god, I love him.”
In the video’s text overlay, Gillian wrote, “What do I do?”
She wrote in the caption, “This whole fostering thing is backfiring hard.”
