I'm going through the same thing right now.

Are "we" good enough as cats and dogs are being euthanized every day?

I've had the same thing happen to me.

Am I good enough.

Well, am I?

What a pile of frothing shyte IMO!

Any animal would be damn lucky to have me adopt them. I've had feral cats live to be as old as 20 years. All were cared for to the best of my ability and lived long pampered lives.

So, yeah I hear you Wicked Blue!

I hope you find another dog soon!

Good luck with your search Wicked Blue Friday #19

I wish I had an answer for that CountAllVotes Friday #21

I have found that a lot of pet rescue groups in my area don't have their own websites; they link to Petfinder. MIButterfly Friday #20
