This Foster Dog Finally Felt Safe in His Human's Bed, and It's So Heartwarming
The adjustment from a shelter to a home is a big one for any shelter dog. This is only emphasized when the dog comes from heartbreaking situations they're still dealing with. Thankfully, foster parents will step in to provide these adorable pups with temporary homes that are far better than any shelter. Away from the noise and crowded situations, these dogs can prosper and potentially find their future homes.
In a recent video clip, Rizz proved he only needed two days to start getting comfy with his new foster parent. After just a few days, this adorable puppy was ready to start cuddling, despite the previous living situations that left him with more than a few scars. Despite his heartbreaking backstory, Rizz is proving that love can truly solve it all.

For the first time in two days, Rizz, an adorable foster dog, managed to gather enough courage to jump onto his foster mom's bed for bedtime. With scars on his nose that point to his horrid backstory, Rizz was clearly uncertain about asking his foster mom for "uppies" on his bed. Despite his pleading eyes, this foster mom (or hero) encouraged him to jump on by himself for bedtime.

While we don't get to see the exact moment Rizz climbs onto the bed, we do see the foster pup deliberate with himself about whether to take the risk. In the caption, Rizz's foster mom mentions, "He has never been in a bed and probably has never even seen one. He lived outside with no shelter, hardly any food, and had no vet care," meaning Rizz likely has no idea how to even ask for help without fear. Although Rizz's heartbreaking past is such an unfortunate moment, Rizz's foster mom's love is already working its magic two days later.
In the comments, users couldn't help but cheer on the pup's bravery and share their hope that he would find his future family soon. "His poor scars my heart hurts also it's blooming with love that he's attempting bed time with you everything… dogs truly know any animals do when there's a safe soup present with them… thank you for theming him in all the ways he deserves and a bit more for his past."
Another user sums up the video perfectly with, "He feels secure… that's amazing work." As we await news about Rizz's future, we will continue cheering him on as he becomes more secure every single day.
