It's really tough sometimes .... there have been a few that I didn't want to let go but I just have to keep reminding myself that if I don't let them go I can't take in anymore that need help. As far as anyone being good enough .... the new adopters have to work really hard to win us over. They may look great on paper but if we don't like them when we talk to them on the phone or meet them in person .... and of corse the way they interact with the dog/puppy ..... then they leave empty handed.
They become one of OUR babies as soon as the pup walks into our house and they are evaluated and treated for their personal needs (most have been abused or neglected
before they come to us and need special attention in differant areas). They get baths and are exposed to differant situations (kids, other dogs, cats, cars, etc...), then they are fully vetted, and SPOILED ROTTEN!!! So .... there really aren't many homes that are "good enough" for them as far as I'm concerned. Even after they have been adopted we continue to be a pest and e-mail every couple of months begging for pics and updates
... we figure we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't make sure that they were living the best life possible.
