Plus, I talked to the lady at the rescue group. She will foster Theresa for a month in her own home, and then once she gets a good idea of her personality, then she will screen potential people to adopt her with.
The only thing with putting her on YT, is that I've seen the threads where people come in with good intentions about wanting the dog, and for some reason or another, can't handle the dog, or needs the dog to be sent back. I didn't want to put Theresa through all of that. I rather have her go with someone who will put her needs first, and will get a good idea of her personality and her in a home with the right people. Plus, she says they screen rather intensely. I rather have someone scrutinze who is getting my dog. They will have the time to do that, whereas I will not.
I just didn't want to run into the possibility of having her returned. That would not be fair to her, to me, or to Teddy. And with giving her to a YT member, there is a slight chance that might happen, even though they might have the best intentions. Because I have seen it happen here on these threads once before. And I don't think I can handle that. |
I'm all for the work Rescues do - but she'll be changing hands from the foster mom to the Forever home....so basically - she's going to 2 places in her future... and that can be just as stressful as being returned if something didn't work out with as you were worried about. But you're very right - they (rescues) do screen pretty intensely and if you don't have the time then you did the right thing for your situation.
All the best to your little yorkie. I hope she has a long happy life with someone who loves her unconditionally
