Animal adoption advocates have long spoken about the benefits of fostering rescue pets. But sometimes, seeing the transformation of a pet firsthand is the most powerful message of all.
New York City writer and foster dog mom Isabel Klee knows this well. She has gained viral attention multiple times for sharing heartwarming videos of the rescue dogs she fosters—and their remarkable recoveries.
Her latest foster, a French Bulldog named Biggs, arrived at Muddy Paws Rescue in rough shape. His health was poor, and he clearly needed care and comfort. But just days after moving into Klee’s home, Biggs looked and felt like a completely different dog.
With a little love and attention, the once-sick pup began to heal—his coat shining, his eyes brighter, and his personality emerging. Klee described him as a “velvet” dog, and videos of his transformation quickly touched hearts online.
Biggs’ journey is more than just adorable—it’s a powerful reminder of how fostering can change a pet’s life. It also shows the deep rewards foster families experience when they help an animal heal and find hope.
