I personally would not make a decision to take 2 dogs into my home if I had any second thoughts at all- yes even if I had signed a contract. It's a very big decision and a lifelong commitment. And again, the owners can list them again here (free) and probably sell them and be paid before they would have been paid by addicted. As far as her BF being upset, he had agreed to 2 more dogs. There is a big difference between bringing 2 new dogs into your home and 3 new dogs. I just don't agree with the idea that since she signed the contract she is obligated to follow through if she isn't 100%. Its not fair to addicted and its not fair to the dogs. These are not special needs dogs and the owners would have no trouble finding a new home for Turtle and Duckie. It's not like they've been holding them for her for months.

good post Nikki!
