Another thing.....I know you probably can't ask about a potential adopter's health, but I know a person who is in her 50's who is in very poor health. She just lost her border collie and wanted another dog. She has been in search of an assisted living housing because she can't keep up her home and can't get around well. She just adopted a JRT puppy mix from a shelter. This dog is full of energy but she can't walk it. She does not know if an assisted living place will allow a puppy. It is getting pretty big and has a lot of energy. What is going to happen to this puppy if she can't take it with her? And if she can, are people at an assisted living facility going to take it outside, walk it and go buy food for it? She has no kids or family. It is pretty apparent to me that she is not thinking about the welfare of this puppy in the future, so it is up to the rescue that let her take this puppy to try to find a forever home for this puppy. Unfortunately, in the case of this puppy, it remains to be seen if this will be a furever home. I can understand that this lady is lonely and wanted a companion but I don't think a puppy was the right choice for her. I don't know what she was thinking.
