Duke - Update and Pics.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Just wanted to post a little update.

Duke has two homes lined up for him. We are waiting on one to contact us and then we will go from there. If we don't hear anything then there is another wonderful family that he will go to.

I'm going to miss the little stinker , but I know this is the right thing for him.

Oh, that's good news. Thanks for letting us know!

Aww that's too bad. Not all adoptions work out though. At least you are doing right by your current pets and giving up the new dog. So many irresponsible people give up the old pet when it doesn't work out because they are into the new pet now. At least you're trying to get him into a place with people who have interest in finding him the perfect home. Good luck Duke .

Wow...I would never bash you for this. Sometimes pets just do not work out. I am sorry for you that you have to give him up. It is not easy. I have had to do that many years ago.

Glad you are finding him a better place.

First of all, if someone even thinks about bashing you, well personally I think they're an idiot. Every re-homing situation is SO different. If you were to just abandon him at a shelter or give him back to his old home, I'd be mad, but you are taking the time to find him a really good home or place him in a rescue that'll find him a GREAT home. Bri, this is the same thing as "fostering". I think it's fantastic that you took him out of that terrible situation and TRIED, and you're still doing great by him in finding him this excellent home which he will get thanks to you. Don't feel bad, not all adoptions work out. In a perfect world, every pet would get along so we could have a ton each, but that's not how it is. You have to adopt a dog with the idea that it *MAY* not work out.

I think he's looking so much better! His eyes look great! Please keep updated on his condition and when he gets a home. He's such a cute little boy. Hope you find the right home for him and a good dog for you guys! You'll know the right dog when it comes along.

There are people out there would have just taken Duke to the nearest pound or worse. You've done the best you can and are being compassionate and loving in finding him a good, new home. I have 2 cats and got a new dog when my old girl died in Feb. One cat would not come inside anymore and the other started going on the carpet. I was thinking of giving up Mindy to a new home but stuck w/it and eventually 3 months later, all came around BUT it doesn't always happen that way. I know you'll miss him but a new forever home is in his future.

His new family came and got him last night. They are a couple with a daughter (Duke loves kids, so this is good.)

I cried for a little while after he left, but I know he's going to be happy. They're going to love him and spoil him rotten. Heck, they drove over an hour just to come get him, so they obviously really want him .
