I arrived home tonight to find a polite but disappointing message from the family who had applied to adopt our rescue Diva. Seems they have found another dog and did not see fit to inform me of this fact until now. So little Diva will be passed over again. So I am afraid that I now must politely rant about the situation. People if you apply to adopt a dog, why are you still out there looking? Once you have decided on a rescue, chosen the rescue and contacted the organization to say “I want that dog” why on earth would you continue to look for a dog elsewhere? These animals are not disposable, you don’t say “I want that dog” unless you truly mean it!
Luckily these people were not the only people interested in Diva, unfortunately those that were and were waiting in the wings to see if she would still be available have probably moved on. Diva has waited two years for a family of her own, this is not something that should have been done to her. So now, I appeal to those people who may have expressed interest and been told an adoption was in the works. Contact me, this little girl is now available once again, let’s get her home for Christmas!

what a horrible thing to do to this dear puppy!!! I’m sure little Diva was excited when she found out that someone wanted her!!! What a letdown!!
maura wiull says:
i’m so sorry, in a nut shell that just sucks!
Kelly says:
I find myself feeling heartily sorry for the dog they decided to adopt – apparently on a whim. First come first served? Really? Nice.
Annette Osterlund says:
Diva is better of not being with people like them!!
Colleen says:
While I can understand the heartbreak of not being approved when you want to adopt an animal, why in the BLEEP would you keep on looking, or even if you looked, why would you apply for or get another dog ? I am very sorry to hear that Janette!
Colleen says:
I meant to say you know, if you were not sure of the response to the request for adoption yet…in case my above comment wasn’t clear. Even if you are NOT sure you are going to be approved when you want to adopt a beautiful furfriend, why on earth would you get another animal ?
