The shep already has a forever home in North Carolina. And I feel it is too soon after losing our beloved dasha (rottie/Doberman mix) we had her for 14 years and I still can't hardly stand to look at her grave. I just don't feel the time is right for us. Where does Ellen live again? I have never know anyone that has had a hard time adopting from a rescue. Personally I mean. Apparently North Carolina has some shortage of dogs for adoption because the daughter's my daughter fostered that went to the Save the Puppies rescue were also transported to NC. Sheila

Not all rescues have the same hang ups.You really have to keep trying until you get what you want. Sounds like you fell in love with the shep/lab, why not adopt him from the rescue, if he isn't already promised to a furever home? I commend you on doing the leg work, tiring as it may be, without people like you the dogs would not have any place to go and wouldn't be saved. I did it a couple of times here too, but not the distant that you did. Since you are directly in touch with rescues, maybe you could send a few emails on Ellens behave, if she is still willing to try again. I feel so bad for her, that she was disappointed and given the wrong impression, all because of one rescue person. I look at all those Chi faces on Petfinders and the DogsInDanger site that are going to be put down and it is killing me that their isn't a much less stressful way of getting a dog to some one like Ellen who would love it no matter what. Yet thousands of dogs are adopted out from rescues all time. So why is everybody in this group that has tried, having such a hard time? I don't get it! -------Original Message------- From: dasha <mailto:[email protected]> Date: 12/4/2010 1:57:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] No longer looking for Chi I am sorry Ellen. There really are some good rescues out there. Our leg of the transport we did this morning was exhausting. We picked 3 dogs up from a local vet clinic then drove them 70 miles to the next person. She was over an hour late getting there and one of the dogs was a demon.. Poor thing, it was a male sharpei/chow mix about 6 months old. I knew why he was turned over to the shelter w/o even asking. Dog humped and bit and chewed everything. Beautiful dog that needs a home with active owners and a place to run and some good basic training. One dog was a mix of Australian shepard and something else. Beautiful colors but a very timid cowering dog. Once she was loved on for a while she perked right up. The other one was a shepard/lab mix about a year old. Beautiful, very well behaved dog. She would sit and stay and lie and shake hands. No telling why she was in the shelter but if she had not been promised to the rescue I would have kept her. I miss my Rottie/Doberman mix... I talked to the person doing the next leg of the transport about the rescues and she says that not all rescues have such strict rules. It is just a matter of finding the right one. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:Chihuahuas%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:Chihuahuas%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Ellen Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 9:13 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:Chihuahuas%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [Chihuahuas] No longer looking for Chi HI Guys, I have given much thought to adopting another Chi and have now decided to give the idea up and just spoil the crap out of Sissy. She is doing great with the cats and since I wouldn;t be considered for hte little one I fell in love with named Nema I have decided to give up and just love the animals I have. After Reading what Deanna went through and stuff I am not goign to put my self in that kind of situation. I still do not understand why I am not allowed to adopt a dog that is the same sex as mine and give her a loving spolied home. It doesn't make since to me so I kind of think of rescues as a hoax myself. I know before you all going crazy one me that there are probable some good ones out there. But if they really want people to help donate etc then they need to be able to give a dog up to a person who woul dtreasure it! Just my opinion. I have tried to talk to them and find out what the big deal is as they are the same sex and the onle I am interested in is spayed what difference should it make if mine that I have currently is or isn't? I am really pissed off about this as I would have given her a fantastic home. I just seen a loose dog tonight and wondered who in hell it's owner is and why is it out running when it is about to snow here? I just don't get it!
