She told me that I was the perfect home, to put a deposit down on her and that I was the approved adopter. I told her there was no way I could get there before 2 weeks time, since I am over 8 hours away. She said it was fine, but to try to get there as soon as possible. The very next morning she emailed me and asked me to send pictures of my home, my dogs, and other things. I did that. Then not a half hour later she called to tell me she adopted her out to another family locally and that "if" they returned her I would be the one to get her. All of this in two days time! I felt jerked around and I was heartbroken to say the least. Surprise Surprise she came back to the foster mom from another family that couldn't handle her and it was too late for me to take her in. |
That's horrible! If you're like me (and I'm guessing you are) you were already emotionally attached!
Please though, don't judge all rescues by the actions of one.
