I took Nikki in when his owner had a stroke. He was a very senior dog and his owner couldn't afford his care before I took him. I was able to help her out with vet and food expenses. When she had the stroke I knew taking him in would require accepting responsibility for his complete care asa she would never be able to care for him. I took him every 2 weeks to the nursing home her kids( who would have but Nikki down or to a shelter) moved her to. She was so excited and would be waiting at the front door of the nursing home for Nikki. It was the most rewarding feeling I ever had knowing that her mind was at ease knowing Nikki was being cared for and loved. If you are in a position to take on the responsibility I don't think you will ever regret it. My 3 girls adjusted to him. He lived with me for 2 1/2 years and I had to send him to the Rainbow Bridge a couple of months ago. Please keep us posted. |
