Well I guess the only advice I can really give is do whatever you can to help and be glad you were able to help save a puppy. You don't need a pat on the back for it from others if you yourself know you really contributed and did the best YOU could do for the pup. I don't consdier it being used if you are providing the pup with a nice place to live and be until it finds its permanent home. Let the good deed speak for itself in your heart. You don't need other's praise for doing a good thing just be happy you could help=)
