[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408280, member: 1233"] What Star said. We adopted a dog from a shelter group when we lived in OH only to learn they lied about the dog with every word that came out of their mouths except that it was a dog. Totally wrong for a house with kids, or with a cat (we had 2) or even a home with just 2 adults in it. We finally had to face facts wehn even working with a trainer didn't help - keeping the dog at our home was cruel to it -like forcing a kid with autism and major sensory issues to spend all day every day in a little room with 100 other kids. So we took it to the shelter, a friend who works there promised to let me know if it was going to be put down for any reason except if it bit someone (hadn't bitten yet but came very close several times). Friend called me less than 24 hours later to say a single college guy had adopted it - he had room for running in a fenced yard, just him at home, perfect perfect home for the dog. I have since seen him with the guy and he always recognizes me and is happy to see me and happy to go with his "Dad". This is not a good time to bring on the stress, time commitment and cost of this dog. Stay strong. When the time is right Molly will send the right dog to you. I promise. [/QUOTE]
