    Calvin sure does look like a sweet dog. I bet his family is very happy to have him back. AND...that means that there is still an open spot in your home to help another critter that needs a good home!

    Such an emotional roller coaster for you! I know in your heart you are glad he is back with his family, but it is still hard to make the switch in such a short time. I wonder why the family couldn't connect up with him sooner???

    Give yourself time to recover and regroup. That is alot to take in and process all at once!

    I am so sorry this happened It just wasn't meant to be, obviously. You WILL find the perfect dog. I promise. Calvin was a gorgeous boy.

    Wow... that's crazy. I'm sure it was heart-breaking for you, but I'm glad Calvin found his people. They must have been distraught, with him being gone for so long.

    Maybe, you can take this as a sign. Finish training Ginger and allow her to grow up and bond with you. Training two dogs at once is a BIG, big challenge.

    Wow I'm so surprised Petsmart would adopt out a dog that had a home. I'm sorry you had to go threw that heart break I hope Calvin's owners are more careful in the future and they get Calvin microchipped and have ID tags on him....and they secure his yard. Hugs to you. Calvin is just adorable!

    I adopted him AT petsmart from the family that had found him and another dog, he wasn't one of the rescues that the shelters brought in. The family was getting ready to move and since they thought they had covered all the bases in looking for their owners they were looking for good homes for them. Calvin WAS microchipped as was his brother dog who was with him when he was found (an Ana.... something or other sheppard). Unfortunately the family had never registered a name or address with the microchip people so they couldn't find any info about them.
    I am very sad that we had to give him back but hopefully he will live a long and happy life with his family.

    What a beautiful boy! I'm so sorry, I would have been heartbroken too! At least we know his owners loved him if they caught up with him!

    Just wanted to stress that Petsmart does not personally adopt out animals, they do allow shelters and indviduals to come and adopt out animals at there store though.

    I'm sorry that you had to go through that and I hope that you find the right dog for your family. Calvin sure was a handsom man, I bet his family missed him a lot.
