oh my god, I cant believe that! I too am so very sorry. and yes, again, do not give up! before I found Brock there was an aussie at the humane society I absolutely fell in love with, and had put a hold on for a day. the next day we had company at the house so my parents werent able to come down and meet her, so 2 other people put a hold on after mine, so when I put a 2nd hold on I was 3rd in line. I found out 2 days later her first hold had adopted her. I was so sad but tried to tell myself she must not have been the one, even though it was hard to believe since she seemed so perfect. A few weeks later I met Brock and instantly I knew he was the dog I had been waiting for. I even had a scare with him; my parents never told me the foster mom called so she assumed I wasnt interested and put this couple in line in front of me who was also interested in him. I was so disappointed and scared, but a few days later I found out they were interested in a few other dogs which she felt would be more fitting for them than Brock, though it still wasnt for sure that Id be able to get him. It wasnt until the day before I adopted him that they adopted a different dog. So anyway, I know youve been waiting a lot longer than I have, and Im sure youve been stretched to the limit, but try to keep hanging in there because I just know the dog for you is out there waiting. And just think, once you find him/her it will just be all the more rewarding.
