Thats terrible I am sooooo sorry. Ive been in your exact spot. I found a woman and put down a deposit on a Pekingese and we both agreed I'd be back next week to pick her up as I was right in the middle of moving and I didnt want to bring her in on all the chaos.
Anyway I get a call about 3 nights later (I'm sorry Rachel I know you wanted Maggie but someone came and offered me more money and could take her now) I was devistated and heartbroken I had spent all week dreaming and preparing for my baby. And she took the money even though I had put down a deposit. I went to her house in absolute tears the next day to get my deposit back. When out walks her 2 year old daughter holding Brigette (then called momma dog) around the neck dangling. I said "Is she avalible?" they said yes but she was more money. Even though I knew I should have just taken my money and left that dreaded house I saw the look of terror in her eyes. When the kid dropped her (yes dropped) she squealed and ran and hid in the back room under the bed. I HAD to save her. I never even considered a Yorkie before.
I took her home and she was the sweetest little thing on 4 legs. She weighed 2.5 lbs skin and bones (the woman had ONE bowl of food for her like 20 dogs) Bridgette never got food. She'd have to fight to eat, and a 2.5 lb dog fighting all the others YEAH right! She was matted STINKY and the woman had just bought her about 2 months prior from someone else and had NO records of her except AKC (of course) how else would she have made money on her
She said she had had her so long because no one wanted to pay the $1000 she was asking for an older skinny matted dog. But I saw her true beauty and offered her $800 and took her THAT day. I soon discovered she LOVES people a little shy around my daughter at first but once she realized my daughter would not be allowed to treat her like that they became fast friends. We had all her vaccines done, had her teeth cleaned, went to the groomer and since then she has put on weight now she's a chunky 6 lbs healthy and happy. And who knows what hands she would have ended up in if I hadnt come along and rescued her. Anyone that had money.
My reason for sharing my story is everything will work out. I do believe in fate and that everything happen for a reason. He was probably not right for you. You will find your baby. He's out there somewhere. Don't give up hope. If I we're you I would look into either rescues or responsible breeders with older puppies as once you have a deposit down the dog is yours unless you change your mind. Good Luck and dont get dicouraged.
Keep In Mind
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!
