Being a rescuer is often seen as one of the most fulfilling roles, but it can also bring its share of heartbreaks. Kate, a devoted animal lover, has spent her life providing a warm home for animals in need, fostering countless furry friends who have impacted her deeply. Yet, none left a mark on her heart quite like Nacho.
The Best Foster Ever
When the Nebraska Humane Society alerted Kate about a pup in desperate need of a warm home, she eagerly welcomed him. For three unforgettable months, Nacho and Kate became inseparable, exploring new adventures together. However, when a family expressed interest in adopting Nacho, Kate experienced bittersweet emotions; she was thrilled for him to find a forever home yet saddened by their impending separation.
Understanding the nature of fostering, Kate continued with her life and eventually moved to Ohio. However, she never imagined she would reconnect with her beloved Nacho. While browsing the Nebraska Humane Society’s website, Kate spotted a familiar face: it was Nacho looking for a home again!
“My friend informed me that he was found as a stray. His previous owners were contacted but didn’t claim him, so I decided to adopt him,” Kate shared with Geobeats. Nacho’s return to her life felt so right, as if they had been meant to be together all along.
Having another dog at home brought her immense joy, especially watching the two pups enjoy each other’s company and become great friends. “The first night he returned, it felt as if he said, ‘I’m home. This is where I’m meant to be,’” she commented. Nacho’s old habit of resting his head on Kate’s shoulder resurfaced when she adopted him, reaffirming that he was truly her soul dog.
“Nacho needs to be by my side. He loves to cuddle while I watch TV, and he’s half on my lap when I work. He insists on sleeping only in my bed and takes it over completely. We are both healing each other,” she expressed. And as the saying goes, the rest is history. This incredible duo is thrilled to have a second chance together, living life to the fullest!
