Thumper is in Maryland
 

We drove halfway to Maryland and met Thumper's new mom. I appreciate all the people that offered to help get Thumper to his new home but I really wanted to be the one to take him. I already feel like I let him down by not keeping him and I didn't want him to feel completely abandoned by us. Please say a little prayer for this little guy. Pray that his adjustment will be speedy and easy on him. The lady that adopted him seemed so nice and very knowledgable about reteaching behaviors. I am just so afraid that he feels sad and scared tonight. Tori, my five year old is very upset also. He had really bonded with her and she with him. She misses that little guy something awful, which just makes me all the sadder. If you are new to Thumper's story and wonder why we did not keep him, he had a great fear of strangers and we have 4 kids and kids constantly streaming in and out of our house. He was constantly upset by all the visitors. I think the idea of helping transport rescue animals to their new homes is a great one and I will volunteer to drive an animal any time I am needed. Thanks to all who have kept Thumper in your thoughts. I will keep you updated as to his progress.

Awww Dont feel sad. You helped him out by getting him and finding his forever home. I will pray that he is happy and loves his new home.

Don't worry, I'm in Maryland, and I will protect Thumper in any way I have to!! What part of MD did the little guy go to?

Im glad that Thumper is in his forever home. I hope he adjust fast to his new home. I agreed, the idea to help in rescue transportation is very good. DOnt feel bad that you didnt keep him, you did what is best for him. I hope you do keep in touch with them.

I really hope that Thumper does well. You did a wonderful thing by rescuing him and giving him a chance to have a good life with good people. I'm hoping to hear one of these days that he is perfectly happy and without fear. :)

I am glad Thumper is in his new home! You tried and you were thinking about
what was best for Thumper! Big hugs! Feel happy that you have made a made
a difference in his life!

It looks like little Thumper's story had a happy ending. I'm sure he'll flourish at his new home thanks to you and your generous heart.

I had the same experience with a Greyhound. He was a blood donor for 2 years at the emergency vet my daughter works for and he needed a home, so we brought him home and he was terrified! We also have a busy household and this poor dog didn't know how to act.

It was hard but we had to give him back and he was adopted by a lady at the vets who has a less hectic household.

Sometimes what's best for the dog isn't what's best for our hearts!

You did great! From beginning to end you looked out for the lil guy! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I hope thumper likes his new home!!

You are one sweet lady and you did what was best for Thumper. Hope you can see that and not be hard on yourself. So happy that Thumper made it to his new home and I'm sure he already LOVES it there. Thanks for the update and hugs to you and your family :)

Where in Maryland is Thumper! By the way, you did a good thing!
