Update on Kirby/Woody...

[pitc9]

You did what was right for him AND you! It's better you did this now instead of a year or so later. He's still a pup and can adjust quickly!

So it didn't work out... oh well... you tried anyway! And now he has a great home where we can still "see" our little world traveler from time to time!

I feel the need to throw my hat in the ring with Jenn too. Let's face it - puppies are A LOT OF WORK. So, Jenn found out that it wasn't going to work out for her and Woody.

She didn't just take him to the pound - she found a GREAT new home for him where he will be well loved - has constant attention - a huge safe yard to run and play in - and another dog to play with as well. She has taken pictures of his new humans and their home and shared them with us.

This whole thing was about WOODY/KIRBY - not Jenn. What we all wanted was for him to have a good life and be safe.

We should all thank Jenn for making that happen. And thank all of the other participants who aided in his transport.

Refunds? Sorry - but Woody already spent the money - no refunds should be available.

Jenn, I want to comment that I admire that you have been willing to reflect on the recent choices you made in regard to Woody and have admitted that you could have/should have made different or better ones. Instead of digging in your heels and becoming defensive, you have acknowledged what mistakes were made. That is impressive and goes a long way in my book. Your offer to refund donations is another extention of this. What's most important is the effort you made to find a very good home for Woody and to do that quickly so he could have a chance to bond with a forever family. You are also trying to assist Woody's new family in their own adjustment period to a new puppy. I think many people could learn not only from your mistakes but how you have subsequently handled the aftermath. Thumbs up.

I agree completely. I'm sure the little guy will love his new, more active
household.

Well it's sad for you... but I am glad he is in a home with other dogs and a nice big yard and an older couple who can give him all the time in the world.

ON an off topic note... I saw you mention that one day you might want to adopt an older dog... you were thinking of going to philly...

I just wanted to let you know about a certain shelter. it really is not the best shelter and they don't have very good facilities as they just don't have the money ... but they are GOOd to their dogs. Belle came from there. It is the Susquehanna Stray Animal Shelter. I only mention them because MANY of their dogs are there for extended periods of time. Belle was there for 6-7 months and she is a wonderful dog. Some of the dogs there currently have been there since Belle was there. They are a no kill shelter and are really trying to do their best by their dogs. Just thought i would throw their name out there for you.

ETA: OH NO I just found out that shelter had to close it's doors
