They are a lovely couple and when I discovered he was coming back I asked Kim about refunding the adoption fee (the contract they signed says that if the dog is returned within 5 days they get 50% of the fee back), and she said to just return their check to them. However when I asked them about the check the husband said to donate it. When the wife had called me to confirm they were bringing Fritz back I mentioned the check and she said she wasn't worried about it. I just took it to mean that it wasn't foremost in her mind. But apparently she meant they didn't want the check back. Bruce said she was crying when they brought Fritz back. I didn't go outside as I thought they would be coming in with Fritz, so was surprised when Bruce brought Fritz back in the house and they weren't with him. Pity they had the stairs. They would have given Fritz a lot of love. |
Wasn't there a home visit done? I cannot imagine adopting a sight impaired dog to a home with three flights of open stairs....or am I missing something here?
This is why home visits and very thorough interviews are SO necessary. People can be wonderful...but just not be the right home for a pup. Might want to share that with whoever is in charge of handling adoptions.
I hate to see pups going through so many changes.
