Disappointed, and a little sad.

As mentioned 3 weeks ago [New Avater thread] we took on Jess [in right of avater] as a new addition to our family.
Have her on a month's "trial" as previous owners were not sure they really wanted to re-home her, more needed a break from her.

Alas, the adoption centre contacted us Yesterday saying they have had a change of heart and would like her back :(
A bit pi**ed off at the moment, i was sure they would walk away uninterested.

Put them off til Wednesday, get a couple more days with her.

Not a happy bunny :( :(
 
I never realised dog ownership came with a 14 day opt out.. Im sorry but if the previous "owners" needed a break then they shouldn't be keeping a dog at all. That makes me angry....

You and me both.
They gave her in for fostering, rather than Rehoming, owing to family problems. Gives them the option of a "change of heart" within a set time, which they have taken.
Our hands are tied, signed an agreement with the adoption centre.

Makes it no easier though.

Sorry to hear this, well unless she got run over ;) (i dont mean that literally) and yo did the decent thing and gave her a good burial..

Busy road yours.....


Cheers
 
Sorry to hear that Dave :( how about she 'runs away' to a mates for a few days? Complete *******s, what are they going to do, put her up for 'fostering' again when they cant cope again?
We took on a dog which had been returned to her mum's home because the owners didnt like her after a year. She's now brightened up my retired parents' life after their last dog died. She's a sweet gem, and I hope your situation works out for you and her.

Good luck.
 
That's a real ****** Dave, I know how beguiling JRT's can be. I'm not normally a dog person at all, but a good natured JRT is a real gem. Conker's 'Beth' is absolutely captivating - you must be well choked. :(

Roger.
 
Ta team. :(
Just been for a 2 hour walk around local golf course with them.
Both run theirselves ragged :)
I'll miss her, but must do the right/honest thing [though it's hard]
Don't know why they put her in foster care, could be a genuine reason and they really do miss their little girl.
Tough call to make.

Bloody hell - how can you get this attached to a dog in just 3 weeks? :rolleyes:
 
As you said Dave, maybe they had a very good reason to opt to foster, and now things may be better and they are able to have her back. Although whatever, you can rest knowing you have done a real good thing.
 
I feel sorry for you and Jess, I don't understand why someone would give their dog away like that, the only way I can spend so much time away from Beth is knowing she's keeping my mum company. A dog is for life not for when it's convienient.
