I am sorry to hear that.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I know you would have given him a wonderful home!!

I am so sorry to hear that. I can't believe the rescue group would do that to you! That's a little cruel

Please don't give up, I'm sure there's another dog out there for you.

I couldn't have said it better:

Again, I'm so sorry this happened

I too am sorry to hear that you weren't able to bring Homer home to live with you.
I know there's a dog out there calling your names!

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.

I am so sorry!!!!

But please.... DO NOT GIVE UP!!

There is a little puppy out there right now.... just saying to him/herself.....

"I'm just gonna give up... no body wants me"

And if you give up now......... your giving up on that little one that needs a home! Pleeeeease follow your heart... and don't give up!

**CountryWolf07** · 02-08-2004, 03:21 PM

Don't give up! There's a pup out there waiting for YOU and your boyfriend..

Keep looking! Homer wasn't meant to be yours, he was meant to help to rescue and search for people.. keep looking.

Perfectly said. This is so true.

I am so sorry to hear that you didn't get Homer. Please don't give up. And as also stated before... find peace in knowing that he is with his sister and they will be doing great work, and may someday be at the right place at the right time and save someones life.
I'm sorry about your news......
