February: Meet Bodi

Bodi – The Reluctant Foster Fail

Bodi was born in Texas, where he was adopted into his first home. At seven months old, he was adopted again—this time by someone in Arizona. After four months, they turned him over to Rescue A Golden of AZ.

Enter “the Bobs,” board members and masters of gentle persuasion, who convinced me to foster this sweet boy due to a lingering paw issue. A couple visits to an orthopedic vet later, and we were on the road to recovery. Spoiler alert: fostering lasted about as long as his healing, because Bodi had already claimed his forever home.

At two years old, he’s the definition of calm (unless there’s water involved—then he’s all in!). He runs like the wind, swims like a champ, and somehow has a very specific distrust of boxes and plastic. Lawn mowers? Totally fine. Go figure.

Now he’s healthy, happy, and living his best life—a proud foster fail with a heart of gold.
