Please HELP! - Findlay OH

I'll try to check on her tomorrow but I can't adopt another dog - there are 8 dogs and 2 small children in my house right now and bringing a timid, scared dog into this might not be such a great idea. It's too bad your parents chose to deal with getting rid of their dog this way - there are some rescue groups in the area that they could have at least called.

Well if this isn't a rollercoaster ride, I don't know what is.

Mom called and told me she's going back to the shelter tomorrow for Rhapsody. She feels so guilty (yay my guilt trip worked!) that she is going to go back and get her and take her home. I told her that if it comes to them not being able to keep her in the future that I will find a way to take her.

Once we are settled in GA, I don't see why we couldn't take her with us if need be, but for now it's such a up in the air situation that I know it isn't feasible.

So hopefully the shelter will let them take her back. i don't know what their rules are on surrendered pets and owners coming back for them, so please please pray that they let her take her home.

I'm glad your mom has had a change of heart and hope she will be able to get her dog back. If she would like some help with training, I am from Findlay originally and only live an hour away now. I would be glad to come down and spend a Satruday afternoon with them.

You might also tell your mom about the dog park in Findlay. It is a great place to let a young pup run off some energy. Even though it sounds like they have a large yard, this would give her a chance to play with other dogs, and maybe help with her socialization. A group of us will be there Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and would be glad to meet them and show them the ropes. You can find more about this in the Meetings Section of general.

I hope you'll stick around pet talk not only to keep us up todate on Rhapsody and share more with us about your pets too!

Believe me I am relieved beyond relieved. I just hope the shelter will allow them to get Sadie back. I know when I adopted my Gabby (GSD) from that same shelter, I had to sign paperwork saying that if I returned her I was not allowed to adopt again for x amount of years (I can't remember how long?) That was 8 years ago. I don't know how their rules stand now, and since this was an owner surrender, and not an adoption and return - I don't know what the differences are. I just hope they will go with it.

I'd like to stick around.

I know I'll be MIA a lot in the next few months with the move coming up and a lot of traveling to different locations for work before we move, but I'll do what I can to be active.

I am so glad this situation seems to be resolved today. I do agree that
this dog would not show well in a Shelter situation with the problems she
has now. I hope your folks are willing to work with her to bring her out of
her shell. I just knew that PT had a whole lot of great, knowledgeable dog
people in Ohio who would help if they possibly could.
