Happy Tears as Beagle Reunites with Former Foster & Can’t Stop Howling with Joy
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: a few things are as emotionally rewarding as fostering a shelter dog, more so one with a painful past. Such dogs tend to be full of gratitude to the person who took a chance on them by allowing them to experience the warmth and love of a real home.

A good example is Molly, a Beagle currently at the Triangle Beagle Rescue in Raleigh, North Carolina. Found emaciated on a lonely dirt road without proper food, water, or shelter, Molly’s heart-wrenching state instantly stood out to her rescuers. Her thin frame screamed of neglect, and her eyes carried the look odefeat. Thankfully, the rescue team found her in the nick of time, ushering her into a brighter, hopeful chapter.
A Foster Family of Her Dreams
As Molly healed both physically and emotionally while at the rescue, she landed a loving foster family that changed her life forever.
While at her foster home, Molly was treated with love and kindness, allowing her to blossom into the best version of herself. Thanks to her caring foster family, Molly got to experience the softer side of life; something she hadn’t in a long while. She learned to trust humans again and discovered what being a cherished pet feels like.
When the time came for Molly to leave her foster home, one thing was clear: the love she received from her foster family would remain stuck in her memory for life.
@tribeagles Look at beagle Molly telling her prior foster mom how much she loves her ❤️ Rescue dogs never forget the person who saved them. The foster who showed them what love feels like becomes a part of their story forever. Every wag, cuddle, and aroooo is their way of remembering and saying, “You were my first home.” Fostering changes lives—live nearish to Raleigh Charlotte or Greensboro NC? apply to foster today and be the one they’ll always hold in their heart.

A Tear-Jerking Reunion
As fate would have it, Molly recently met her former foster, and their touching reunion was captured on video. In a clip shared by the rescue on their TikTok account @tribeagles, a Pamaja-rocking Molly can be seen wagging her tail furiously when she spots her former foster.
Moments later, she begins to howl uncontrollably as her ex-foster pets her. Going by the video, it’s obvious that sweet Molly is overwhelmed with joy upon seeing the person who not only opened her home to her but also showed her so much love. Truly, you can never go wrong with fostering a dog in need; the gratitude they show you is like nothing you’ve ever experienced.
“By opening your heart and home to a foster dog, you’re consciously choosing to make a life-changing difference in the life of a needy animal while also bringing so much fulfillment into your life,” says pet rescue advocate Rocky Kanaka.
