Foster Mom Lori Comer Opens Her Heart (and Home) to Two Litters of Need in Desperate Bid to Save Tiny Rescue Puppy
In a heartwarming tale of canine camaraderie, rescue puppy Tusche has made an extraordinary recovery thanks to the intervention of his foster mom Lori Comer and a fellow foster dog named Donna. Born with developmental issues, the tiny 2-pound pup was initially deemed too fragile for adoption by many shelters.
After taking in nine puppies from Best Friends Animal Society in Northwest Arkansas, Comer soon discovered that Tusche required special care due to his size and health challenges. Despite intensive hands-on support and specialized feedings, the little pup struggled to keep up with his siblings as they grew bigger and stronger. By eight weeks old, all but one of the puppies had been adopted, leaving Tusche behind.
However, when Comer received a call from Best Friends asking her to foster another litter of 11 puppies – later christened the Dynamos – she saw an opportunity to integrate Tusche into the new family, hoping to help him recover. The organization's veterinarians evaluated both litters and deemed it safe for Tusche to join Donna and her pups.
Comer successfully integrated Tusche into the foster home, employing a recommended tactic: rubbing him against Donna while she nursed her puppies. To everyone's surprise, the Dynamos litter accepted the tiny pup as one of their own, despite being almost twice his size. As Comer watched, "You'd never know he's not one of them."
Under the surrogate care of Donna and the Dynamos litter, Tusche began to flourish, rapidly gaining weight and developing essential social skills like learning to play. When the time came for him to transition to solid food, it was a seamless process thanks to his new foster family.
Today, as Tusche stands ready for adoption, Comer is beaming with pride, knowing that her efforts have given this tiny rescue puppy a second chance at life. And judging by his sparkling personality and boundless energy, Tusche is sure to capture the hearts of anyone lucky enough to meet him – a true testament to the transformative power of love, care, and canine companionship.

and his foster mom lori comer is literally the best! she took in 2 litters of puppies from a shelter and was like "i'll take them all" 
but then realized one of them (tusche) needed extra special care cuz he's super tiny and has health issues 
. so instead of giving up, she got another litter of 11 puppies (the dynamos 
) and they kinda adopted him as their own! it's like a real-life puppy love story 
and now tusche is thriving with his new fam 
can't wait to meet this little guy in person
It just goes to show how much love and care can make a difference in a rescue pup's life. I'm sure Tusche will find his forever home soon, and it'll be all thanks to Comer's selfless heart 
It just goes to show that with love, patience, and the right support, even the tiniest creatures can thrive. And kudos to Lori Comer for being an amazing foster mom – she's definitely saving lives here! 
Tusche's story is all about how love & care can change lives (or at least a tiny pup's life 
. i mean, who would've thought he'd fit right in with the bigger dynamos litter? 
love how they rubbed him against donna to help him recover, genius move! 
now that he's all grown up and healthy, can't wait to see what kind of adventures he'll have next 
What's not 2 love about this story?! I guess u cud say Tusche's foster fam is a real-life superhero team saving one tiny pup at a time 
Lori Comer is literally the best human ever! Fostering 20 puppies in one go? That's insane! But seriously she gave these two litters of pups (Tusche included) a second chance at life when no one else would. And can we talk about how cute it is that Tusche just blended in with his new foster fam? 
Those little dynamos litter took him under their wing and loved him just the same as they loved Donna! 
! I'm so inspired by the power of love and care for animals. Tusche's story is like, a reminder that every pup deserves a second chance at life 
Lori Comer's heart is truly maxed out 
. This story is the perfect reminder that with care, love, and a little bit of creativity, even the smallest creatures can thrive
