For Fifi, we have to remember she may be grieving for her lost puppy. I also wonder if she's moving the pee-pad looking for her puppy...?

I sent you a pm...

I didn't tell her "no" in a mean or scolding tone.. that's why I thought it was super cute. I think she knows the word. The way she straightened it out all fast was adorable.

Every thing about this little girl is sweet. She's really precious.

I would not be so bothered if not for the fact that they are still doing what they did then and we made no impact that I can see. They let a pup suffer and die for days on the cold concrete. The pup's name was Mia...I still think of her.

Ok, What was the purpose in that ? Some of these so called shelters make my blood boil. I have seen shelters kick out rescue people before & Never will for the life of me understand their thinking when the dog will most likely either die from something it contracted in the shelter or be PTS so why not just give it to the rescue. Why all the Red Tape when to the shelter it's just a # that's costing them time & money. I had a lady from a rescue stop me on my way in to the Riverside, Ca shelter & ask me to pull a pup for her as her rescue was no longer allowed in & the pup was out of time. She handed me the cash & off I went to adopt me a dog & she was a sweetie, a little Norwich terrier. After I got the dog I realized that the lady was with a rescue that I had worked with in the past. So where there's a will theres a way.

She's eating like a little piggy.

She seems pretty happy She was bopping around in the vets office for pets

She's a pretty tall one .. she looks like a giraffe next to Tashi (Tashi' has little midget legs and a cobby body.. lol)

I have her all settled in with food and water and a potty pad, hoping she gets a good night's sleep now that she has a little peace and quiet

So she's Miss FiFi sexy legs ? Lol. Bless you for taking into your home

Happy to hear she is safe now....Thank you

Sometimes shelters are just hell holes and don't care; but sometimes the shelters are actually doing the right thing. There are rescues that are not good either. Works both ways.

And, I know some people don't really like to hear it; but sometimes being put to sleep is better than leaving the shelter with a person who is going to make life a living hell for an animal.

Wise words. Sad but true. Sometimes there are worse things than dieing.

It's so horrible to think of all the pets that won't be saved
