Me too! I have placed three dogs (2 in 2006 and one in 2007) with people that I am not comfortable with. Thank goodness two of them came back and I could find the right home. The other one, I just pray everyday will be okay.
I know it will happen again sometime, but I sure check more than references anymore. I have only had one reference that ever said anything negative. Most people are smart enough not to give a reference that will say bad things about them.
I would just as soon have them here for me to love, than place them in homes that will not treat them correctly. (BTW, I do have a couple of puppies that are more than old enough to leave LOL!)
