OK...this thread is getting hijacked. I am going to say a lot of prayers that Mindy finds her forever and ever home. :) |
When I first saw this thread about Mindy was that she was being bounced around because of irresponsible breeding and pet ownership. She was a 6 month old puppy, found on a doorstep, taken in and now after a breakup needs to be rehomed again. This poor little one fallen through the cracks and it's heartbreaking hearing such a sad story. I can totally see why all the others are giving the opinion that she needs to go to a home that will be the most forever home. She has been bounced around 3 TIMES in her 2 years of life :eek: Several people gave their opinions and somehow this thread has now turned into "rescues hate elderly" :confused: All that was suggested was to consider someone that was younger to give a better change that this would be Mindy's final home~forever :( I really don't understand why that is such a horrible opinion and being taken offensively? Sorry to say but I too would agree that after 3 (4 including the last that didn't work out) homes in 2 years Mindy's next family should be chosen solely and entirely IN THE VERY BEST INTEREST of Mindy. It now has become a placement issue after being moved from place to place so many times. :( |

Yes, she was abandoned. She just needs a break and has not had one yet. Which is even more of a reason to really give her the chance that she needs. :( |
I don't see it on the first post. Nevermind, I found it. Poor girl really does need a break. :( |

And...you trash rescues? And try to tell us that you went through more to get a dog than a child? Please do tell me what adoption agency you went through. They do not just hand children over willy nilly without background checks! You say rescue and the way they do things makes you sick? Well, breeders who are not careful about where they place their pups make me sick, but I cannot change that can I? Thankfully they are not all like that....and all rescues are not bad either! Quote:
As for rescuers blaming breeders for everything...I blame MOST of the problems on bad and/or irresponsible breeders. You can bet your boots on that one! Call this whatever you want...it is not an attack. So sad that you post here in the rescue and rehome forum and cannot take advice without bashing rescue. Someone tried to offer advice and you start saying that you dont like what rescue does...AND call someone insane for not adopting to a friend of yours because she did not have children. WhatEVER the rescue told her, they had a reason AND a RIGHT! They paid the bills and they saved the pup and they were doing the best they could to find the pup a home. Maybe they really turned your friend down for other reasons and just used an excuse.?? Who knows. But don't be saying they are wrong. |

I have been trying to do my very best to place her in the right home and I don't take it lightly. She cannot be placed with other dogs, or children, or cats and she doesn't care much for men..has bit them. So finding her a home is very tough. And we really thought she would do well with ONE dog when I placed her with them. So in no way should I be blamed for this dog ending up here. I am doing my best here and taking very good care of Mindy and trying to do the best by her that I possibly can. |

As I said, I will pray for that sweet girl. I hope you find a wonderful home for her. She deserves it....or shall I say she has a right...she has surely earned it at this point. |

And...honestly the only thing anyone was saying was to be careful about placing a younger pupster with an older retired couple. 50 is not elderly. These might indeed be great people for her....I don't think anyone said they are not. Everyone was TRYING to suggest to you that an older retired couple might not be good with a young pupster. That's all. |

No one blamed YOU. People offered advice and you came back trashing rescues. Seriously. This is NOT an attack on you. I am so weary of people throwing the smoke screens out over these threads. People are TRYING TO HELP MINDY!!! and you as well....she is a hard to place pupster and trust me, we are VERY experienced with those. We finally placed one that was very similar to Mindy last year....she hated dogs and had to go to a one dog home...you know how hard it is just to find a foster home for a pup like that. She also bit anyone who tried to even brush her hair. She now has a wonderful home. It has been a year. Rescues deal with this stuff ALL OF THE TIME. We are not evil demons. |
my final post... I didn't say ALL rescues, I didn't say anything about your rescue or anything about you at all. as far as adoption, I went through the state and adopted a child who came to us as a foster child. We adopted him when he was 3 years old and I took in a lot of other children as well.. And trust me, we went through A LOT to become foster parents, and again when we adopted greg. He came to us at 12 months old, he has fetal alcohol syndrome and is now 21 and still needs us to help him and always will. He just now walked in here and asked me how to address an envelope. I have showed him before many times. You know how many homes he was in by the age of 12 months? our home was the 5th!!!!!!!! He went from his birth mom to foster care, then back with bio, then at 6 months back to foster care, then to another foster home and was there for about 4 months and was severely neglected and then placed with us. He weighed 19 pounds at 12 months old! My point was obviously missed when talking about the rescues I had dealt with and the one I used to do rescue and fostering for cocker spaniels. Again, I never said all rescues. |

I hope you find Mindy a home where she is loved as much as you love your son, Greg. :) He was lucky to have come to you. |
ALL THE BEST Finding her a new home -I wish you all the best and hope someone will give her a home that she deserves.....maybe once she feels secure her behavior will change - you never know....she may feel very unstable which could account for how she's acted maybe ? ......I'm sorry things didn't work out in the first home - that's a shame but hopefully this will have a happy ending for you and most importantly - Mindy. She's a cutie |

So please don't say I am not listening. I just feel age should not be an automatic disqualification. |

I think she has the dogs best interest at heart from what I read. It's hard taking in a dog when you have others to worry about and even harder to place one if they have 'issues'. |

I would just rather keep Mindy, but she just really doesn't like other dogs and I really am thinking of her first. I have had a bunch of emails from CL about Mindy, hardly anyone is reading the entire ad. Mindy the Yorkie is ready to be adopted..Read all about her.. And people with little kids, other dogs, etc are wanting her event though I am clear in the ad. I have had 3 people ask me to waive the fee... The only reason I have a fee up is to keep the flippers away. But to email me and right off the bat ask me to waive the fee is tacky I feel. I adopted a shih tzu out last year and had a fee, well when I placed her I refused the money because I knew they were the right home and I didn't need the money or want it. They handed me the money and "demanded" I take it..LOL.. so I did but I donated it to a local rescue I know and trust. After all they did put an ad on their petfinder space for me as a favor. It's a cocker rescue I helped get started and know the woman very well who runs it.:) I completely respect good, honest rescues and support them. I guess I have just run into a few bad ones. One being the one I used to work with, it was horrible. they let the females get pg and then would "adopt" out the pups for high amounts. It's a long story.. So when I was writing about rescues in a bad light I was thinking of them. That wasn't fair so I do apologize. |
Oh trust me I know how people are. We recently had a woman apply for one of our fosters who is female aggressive. The application looked perfect right down to details about how she cares for her pups. We were very clear in her bio that we were looking for her to be an only pup or in a home with males. Well...this woman had two males...so she said. Thankfully, when the vet check was done something smelled funny. I cannot give any details because this is open and public; but the end result was the she lied, got a vet employee and her mother to lie. She had two females!! She put a profession down that we later found out was a lie. Heaven only knows what she was going to do for the home visit....she actually set a date with us for one!! The things that people do is just unbelievable. You really should not feel guilty at all. Sometimes things simply do not work out. You know now that she just cannot go to a home with any other pups. You will find her perfect home! I am sure of it. Maybe it is this couple .. if they are in their 50s that is not old... even in their early 60s I would surely go for it if they have a good vet reference. I just get leary when people are over 70 and they want puppies. That is looking for a pup to be homeless at some point. Just my opinion. I really wish we could do more to help you. |
I just looked at your CL post....it is perfect! She is such a little doll. I SO wish I knew someone who might want one pupster. I had contacted that one lady I told you about, but thank goodness she was not ready. Imagine if she had gone there to get her from Houston and got her home with her female. Yikes! I will keep an eye out on our apps. Sometimes people apply who want a pup that may not be a good fit and we try to help them find another pup. We do not push another of ours off on them that would not work out. Never know...something might come in. Of course, in the meantime, maybe those people are not that old and might be perfect! |

This seems to be the right time for one of these...:ghug: |
or...some of these...:2party::2party::2party: |
Well I tried to stay out of the drama . I am sorry that the failure at our end caused Karla so much grief . She has a huge heart and loves her pack very much . We did have a backup plan in case things did not work out . The primary concern was not to displace Sunshine ,at first Mindy did quite well . However she was still recovering from her spay.pyometra operation . Once she was back from that she became a take charge kinda girl and mr Sunshine could not much deal with that . He has been an only since we got him 2 years ago , and actually we thought he would like a sister to keep him company . However it turned out she was bossing him way too much . She was becoming stronger and him weaker ,and I did not want to put him though that . Being at my house was great for Mindy to recover and I really think she enjoyed being here . We helped Karla with the vet costs , because it was something we could do for Mindy.The person that Karla got Mindy from totally gave bad information about her , some things we will never know . I was hoping she would be able to stay with us forever but I had to put Sunshine first . I even got another opinion from our vet about their personalities and she thought it best for them not to be together . BTW Sunshine came very close to outliving me last year , he helped me recover .
