I adopted my little London (puppy mill rescue) from the Human Society almost two weeks ago. When I picked her out she was in a kennel with her sister. They are both about 3 years old. It was difficult for me to choose which one I really wanted ( I wanted both). My daughter talked me into picking London because her sister was scared of everything and London was much more outgoing.
The first few days London was home the Humane Society kept in touch with me regarding her sister because the people who adopted her kept calling and saying they were bringing her back because she wouldn't eat or anything. Then finally after about 4 days they decided to keep her because she started eating and coming out of her shell.
I actually met the lady at Wal-Mart as we were both looking at "clothes" for our babies. I asked her what breed of dog she had and then after a few minutes we figured out we had adopted the sisters! It was great and we exchanged emails, phone numbers, etc. and planned to meet at the park for walks.
Well, monday I get a text message from the lady saying her boyfriend returned the dog to the Humane Society!!! (Unbelievable) She was heartbroken but told me the Human Society would probably call me.
Yesterday they called and offered her to me, all I have to do is pick her up!
Here's my problem: We have 3 dogs now and I'm really concentrating on London. My husband doesn't want me to take on another dog, but my heart is just sick that she was returned to the shelter! My heart is telling me run and get her but my head and husband are saying no. I'm going to have a difficult day because I will be thinking about this every minute.
I know I will end up not picking her up because thats what my hubby wants me to do but I will always regret not having the sisters. He say she will get adopted again because she's a Yorkie, I know that's true, but I feel so sorry for her.
Sorry to ramble but I just had to "talk" to someone about this.
