It's a sad day for our family

I am so sorry that your decision on adopting Zoe was not the right one. I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope that everything works out!

Not to say that she's not receiving well-intentioned, good advice, because she is...but, just my opinion...this appears to be a dead horse. At least as far as Zoe's future is concerned, it looks like a made decision. The most we can do at this point without causing more hurt is to give sound advice about the new dog once it's home. I personally don't think a dog is a good idea for the household at all, but, hopefully, this time around will be handled better.

I still wish the best of luck to the family in their search and to Zoe in hers.

I just had to put my two cents.

I agree. Also I was wondering if the shelter is a no kill shelter?? The reason I ask is because if you return her to a kill shelter due to "problems" chances are she will be put down when in reality those problems could be fixed with proper training. If it's a no kill shelter than she should be safe because her "problems" arean't actually problems at all, rather a lack of proper training, so they will work with her. Kill shelters most of the time won't work with a dog that is returned for behavioral problems because they tend to be considered less adoptable and are often on the top of the kill list. A smaller pet of sorts might be the best option for your family at this time. But that's just my opinion.

May I ask why you think that a dog isn't good for our household? You don't know us.

I'm simply stating that we don't have a trainer nearby . I don't have a vehicle to get her where she needs to go to get trained.

I was asking for support not to be bashed that our household doesn't need a dog.

By the way... for those of you that posted with compassion, I just wanted to let you know that my best friend, Andrea, who has OLDER children (14 and up) is coming to adopt her today. They have a house out in the country where she can run free, and act like a lab should be able to act, not be cooped up in our apartment.

SO we'll still get to come and see her whenever we want.

PS... Don't look for me to return here. Too many judgemental people.

I'm sorry you feel that way
