Like you say Sue, it probably just wasn't meant to be. I can see how you might feel a bit sad. But it is such a good thing that they are safe in loving foster homes until they find just the right family. It's always so hard when you have to leave them all behind. Thanks for going and showing them so love, if only for a day. I met the sweetest little dog the other day. Her name was Cody. She was a GSD x Border Collie! What a little doll. Looked a lot like what you described as a pocket shepherd. Size of a Border Collie, face like both, and coat and coloring like a shepherd. What an angel. She was so smart, obedient and loving. Maybe someday the perfect one who needs a special home like yours, will cross your path! Happy Easter Sue.
