Also, It could be that Veronica didn't work today and she was only going by the information that she knew at the time. Things change very fast in a Shelter situation.
Carmen I am so sorry it didn't work out. |
I am ignorant about how shelters work.....I just see here in Houston, people's dogs getting picked up, the families called, and then apparently arrangements made to pick the dog up the next day or within 48 hours, as was one case....and when the family shows up to gwet their dog, the dog has been adopted out to someone else, or even more tragic, euthanized. That happens soooooo much here here in Houston....I just wish everyone could get on the same page and the correct information given to people. Fortunately, this "One Eyed Jack" went to another family, rather than being euthanized....which is a wonderful thing for this poor little soul. The poster will get over this set back....but the disappointment is not any less for someone that had their heart set on a particular puppy. The services these places provide, is amazing....just someway to be a little more organized in the transmission of information, would be an added bonus. I guess if I was in the position to have to retrieve my own pet from a shelter, or if I wanted to adopt from a rescue, I would be on the doorstep the minute I saw that baby was there....I dont know if that would help, but it is all you have....physical presence...eye to eye contact.
