It is so hard to find a good home by using places like Craigs List and even the local paper. I have tried to find homes for kittens that we have taken in and helped to raise and it is the most difficult thing in the world to answer those calls. People who do not even pretend that they would spay or neuter them when they were old enough. People who want a new kitten because their last cat got "knocked up" and they had to get rid of her! It's sickening. It's the same with dogs. People want a free animal that they consider to be disposable and something that is a temporary form of entertainment for them.
I have found some of my better homes by posting notices (with photos) at various vet's offices, the post office and a few local stores that still allow such posts. It is so difficult. Even if the people appear to be decent and have vet references you just really don't know. One of the last little ones I was re-homing I started crying so hard the man felt bad and asked if I wanted to keep her. I said no. I knew I couldn't keep them all. He and his wife later sent me a beautiful photo of her sitting so pretty in her beautiful new home. I can help raise or care for a homeless dog or cat but finding the right home is the most difficult part. I have become physically ill dealing with this most difficult part of rescue. Hope you find a wonderful home for your little guy. He is so adorable. |
