Calvin's Happy Then sad then sort of happy story

[AdoreMyDogs]

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!

He looks like a great dog. I'm sorry you had to go through that, but I'm glad his owners found him in the end. They must've been thrilled to have him back!

In the mean time though, I honestly think you'd be doing yourself and Ginger a huge favour by not getting another dog until Ginger's better trained. That probably won't happen until she's about a year old, if not a little more.

I have to agree with Orangutango on this one. You've got a lot on your hands right now because your baby is also at an age requiring a lot of time and attention. I'm not saying that with the right combination of dogs it couldn't/wouldn't work out, but you're are really taking a huge chance that the situation could be overwhelming for you.

Oh Missy, I can understand how difficult it was for you to give up Calvvin. But consider your tears, tears of joy for him. He and his humans were reunited. I truly believe that things happen for a reason.

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.
