That was me. I went about 14 months haunting the shelters for a little one I could lift with my bad back. Every single time, something went wrong from the dog being too ferocious to too ill to adopt to being second place. As I was working, I couldn't show up there first thing in the A.M. and only go after work except on Saturday so I was always second best. Eventually it all just wore me down. Got so tired of being so disappointed. But when I heard Tibbe's sad history, I realized he was a big rescue of a neglected and IMO, abused, dog so it was all good - I could rescue after all.
