Guest Anonymous Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 All of them have been adopted into screened and approved homes! I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy they have homes and aren't in the shelter but sad because it's not my home. Just thought I'd let you all know. Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Tammy, I don't know whether to say congratulations and that's great, or to feel bad. A little of both, I reckon. It is sad that they won't be with you, anymore, but it is also better than it could have been. At least (for what it's worth) it's a bit of closure. I just hate that you were faced with making those kinds of decisions. Quote
BuddysMom Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Oh, how bittersweet. :( At least now you know, they are being loved and they are no longer living in shelter cages ... Quote
Bubblezzz Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 You did the best you could. Stay focused on the fact that they now have loving homes ok? :) Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Bittersweet is right... Is there anyway you could check up on them perhaps? See the new owners, or that might be too hard? If it were me I don't know that I could do it. Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Thats great news. I wouldnt know how to feel either though. Im so sorry it had to happen this way but at least all your critters are alive and well. Quote
courtnek Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Tammy, my heart breaks for you...as much as it hurts, try to realize that this was the best you could do for them. Many didnt get out at all. you did what needed to be done to save them, and find them good homes. in this mess of a situation, you really did everything you could. hang in there Lady....and know that they are now in homes, and not shelters in NO, or kenneled by Noah's Wish, or still left behind. you did good. be at ease knowing that. 8) :angel: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Thanks everyone. I knew they were going to get adopted. I was told that when I turned them over. They are victims of the hurricane. There would be people lining up to adopt. Sigh...Hate to say it but I would have done the same thing...marketed them as refugees...told their story. All to get adopted quicker. I do have to say I was holding out hope that before we left I'd go and find one of them still there and be able to bring them home with me. Sigh...I can't check up on them. I took a lot out of me just to call to see how they were doing. It would be so painful for me to see them in their new hoems with their new owners..being loved by someone else. I'm always afraid I will see them around town. It would kill me not to say anything but at the same time I'm afraid of intruding into their new worlds. Sigh...so many emotions so little time. Quote

I only have had one foster - and I've made friends with her new owners, so we get to meet up with the dogs. *Hug* Remember that because YOU chose to take them all in, they now have loving homes. If you didn't take that step, who knows where they might be now? :-? Things could have turned out very, very differently for them, so stay focused on the positive ok? :) Quote
