It's My Gotcha Day! By Jackdoodle
Posted on January 24, 2012 at 9:00pm 24 Comments 11 Likes
Six years ago tonight, my mom adopted me! She came to the shelter where I was staying and took me home with her, and I've been here ever since!
It took her three days to decide to adopt me. The first day she met me, she wasn't sure she…

I don't get it.
We have some wonderful, adorable dogs who have been with us in foster care for weeks, and nobody is applying for them or even inquiring about them. Sweet, adorable adult dogs who are already housebroken and are past the chewing, nipping, sock-eating crazy puppy stage. (You know that stage between 6 and 12 months when the people who got puppies without having a clue what that entails in terms of time, work, commitment, etc. give them up to rescues?)
Day after…

Here's a group that everybody involved in rescue and the fight against puppy mills needs to be familiar with: PIJAC : "Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council"

These are the guys who lobby on behalf of the brokers and pet stores, and fight all the laws we'd like to see passed. You will particularly love their horror at the legislation animal rights groups are trying to get passed, like a mandate that pet store & puppy… Continue

Dobie rescue, why didn't I think of that. And I hadn't remembered that there was phone number in there until I looked again after sending off my melodramatic missive.
Yes, I can see that, while some of his coat is wavy and maybe a little fluffy in a very un-Dobe way, it's otherwise hard to identify poodliness. I'd also considered that he's not the doodle type in his looks, and therefore lacks that particular kind of appeal that the people who frequent or visit this site are looking for.
AND it was only after I wrote that I saw the regional listings here, and his Petfinder posting is already visible via your site.
Oh well, next time I find myself getting carried away about the plight of a dog, I'll look before I leap.

Hi Karen & Jack,
thanks for the info. I saw on the application about transporting out of state and
misunderstood. I'm so sorry that I wouldn't be able to drive to Florida for Rudy since I'm alone. This is very disappointing but I'll keep checking out the rescues
thanks again, chris coelho.

Thank you for letting me know that Izac has found a forever home. That was all that I wanted to know. Take care.

That is disappointing about your urban rules and kid's age rule. Our 7 year old was 3 when we got Nugget and he named her Chicken Nugget French fry - things he knew were golden. She does great in our urban setting. I'll look elsewhere.

In response to your message:
Oh my goodness, that is not my only motivation for adopting! I love animals and have been looking for a dog that would also be a good fit for our family. If it works out that the dog would be a member of our family and a member of my work, so be it. If it isn't meant to be that way, that would be okay too. I am sorry that I may have given you that impression.

Thank you Karen and Jack for refreshing my memory. I couldn't remember the term, but I knew that 3 out of the 4 generations were poodles!
