Hello everyone! I am new to this site and from what I'm reading you are all such wonderful and caring people I already feel blessed to have found this site.
I am in a desperate state at this point and need your help. I made a tough decision yesterday to part with one of my yorkies due to my lack of financial ability to take care of her. She is not in a health crisis, per se, but there were things that needed to be addressed that I could no longer handle financially. I am laid off from my job until they call me back. Could be weeks, could be months. I also have 2 other dogs that need care as well but Ciera was the one that needed the most care thus why it was her I needed to part with. She is 11 almost 12 yo and her care and needs are escalating.
Here's the thing....
I had checked with a local shelter for help in finding her a home. Trusting them to make sure the home was right for my baby. A lady called me the next day telling me that she wanted Ciera and to bring her by the next day for delivery. When I got there yesterday, her house looked great on the outside. When I got inside she scuttled me off into a dining room which also seemed ok. Not dirty, but cluttered. We sat down and she met my Ciera. I didn't expect the meeting to go great. Ciera clung to me and was panicing which crushed my soul! The lady told me that she would make sure she got love and health care and that after a month or so when Ciera was adjusted to her and her home I could even come and visit. (I was surprised!!!) She had me write down in a notebook that I was giving her the dog because she said this happened to her once before that a guy gave her his dog for the same reason and ended up coming after the dog a month later because he couldn't deal with being without him. After I did this, I followed this woman into the livingroom where I found clutter EVERYWHERE! On chairs, all over the floor. There was urine stains in the carpet! Just apalling!! She told me it was a mess because she had been going thru some things to give away, and that she was going to have the carpets shampooed. I reluctantly left her because of my initial reasons but now I'm feeling as tho care or not she was better off with me. I am very clean and that's what she's used to! What do you all think? If I did want her back could I even get her since she made me write that out?
I trust you all to give me some great advice. I'm sooo upset!!!!!!!
