Been there! We found a scruffy little mutt last summer and had him for two months. We knew he wasn't right for our home, so after having him neutered, house-breaking him, etc., we tried to drop him off at the local humane society (no-kill shelter). I sat in the car bawling while my husband took him in and signed the paperwork. I couldn't do it though - ended up running into the building and "rescuing" him after all the papers were signed and he had been taken back to the kennel area! I knew we couldn't keep him forever, though, but I knew that I had to have some control over where he went. So, we placed classified ads in the local paper, and took alot of phone calls about him. We got lucky - the first people that came out to see him really liked him, and they took him home a week later. I knew right away that they would love him forever, and I was so happy that I had taken him back from the shelter!UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~
This is awful. Today is Lolly's first day at the off site adoption location. I brought her up there at 9am and sat with her until 10. Then I had to go to the shelter to get her paperwork. Well, when I got back and she saw me, she went berserk whining and yelping until I got in to where she was. She wouldn't have anything to do with anyone else. I had been planning on sitting there all day so I could talk to anyone interested in adopting her. well, they said it would be best if I left so she could get used to other people So I had to leave her yelping and scratching at the glass for me. I sat in the parking lot crying and couldn't even drive. Now I'm shaky with low blood sugar and getting a headache. I really miss her. It is so important to me that I talk to who adopts her and I can't do that nowI still miss him, but I am confident that he has a good life with a loving family!
