Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Dear Abby: Wife chooses to travel alone instead of with family

Editor's note: This article was originally published on May 5, 2023. It has since been updated. The love that an adopted child deserves is no different from that of a biological child. However, many consider it nearly impossible for kids to experience genuine love and care in their adoptive homes.

On April 17, 2023, a heartwarming video captioned, "He was in awe. He is so loved" was posted by Abby—who goes by @fostermomflorist—on TikTok. The video showcases a little boy's birthday celebration and the special moment he received a bowling alley-inspired cake from his dad.
