I had a girlfriend which bought years ago a young poodle for their children. After two weeks no one in this family wanted the dog longer and Frankie (the poodle) was sitting the whole day in the basement
. After long dicussions I gave her 800 euro (what she paid for him) to save him and take him to my home. A colleague wanted him and gave me 500 euro for him. 3 days later he brought him back to me because he was not wiiling to work with Frankie. I gave the money back. It was sure that I can´t have Frankie myself because of my job situation but I wanted to find the best home and placed ads in the newspaper. No one wanted him. My mothers neighbour saw me with Frankie walking and - to make it shorter - Frankie is since 10 years the beloved happy pet of the neighbours family. And I never required any payment from the neighbours because it was most important for me that he has his own forever loving home.
At this time I was hard working and hadn´t much money. But to save Frankie and make him happy was much better than to got payment for him. Frankie wasn´t my dog but I had responsible feelings for him (I´m a great dog and catlover) and wanted to do the best for this little poor soul.
Please, think about.
Emma can´t decide where she can goes so you must do this. It will be give you a good feeling to know that she is a very loving pet in a new family and that is better to know than to have the money. Please, believe me.
I wish the best for little Emma and send you my best wishes.
