Which is SO wonderful.
This article however..is not rehoming it's abandoning your responsibility at a shelter.. letting them handle your responsibility. Which kills me.
For some reason.. people in my area come to me to find animals homes.. I guess they know I will..but it amazes me with some work and effort..I have never takes a dog or cat to a shelter.. I can always find them a home. Which makes me wonder..why couldn't they do this? Either I try harder or .. they don't try at all.  |
I agree RR!
I probably shouldn't say this, but I think the timing of the thread if very rude considering the heartbreaking task that 2 of our members are going through this very minute. Although this doesn't apply to them because it IS because they LOVE their pets that they are making sure they have awesome homes to go to, I'm sure if they read it (which I pray they do not) it will only make a horrible situation even worse.
I also want to say that Bonnie was 2 1/2 yrs old when I got her....she was being retired from breeding....and from the minute I've had her she has adored me with all her heart...you can tell by the look in her eyes, there are YT members that have seen us together and she won't let me out of her site...but as much as I would like to think I am her whole world, that really isn't true. She stayed with a friend one time for a week when we went on vacation...and I worried the whole time that she was missing me, well let me tell you when I walked in that door, I got my feelings hurt because she was sitting in my friends lap and she looked at me like...Do I know you
Now granted it took less than a minute for her to realize who I was, but I said all that to say this....they adapt a lot easier than we would like to believe...as long as someone feeds them, loves them and cares for them, that is where their heart is.
OK...I'm getting off my soap box now, but again I want to say that I think the timing of this thread is VERY RUDE.
