They both responded!

The family said it's not their fault that people lie to get their way and that she can do whatever she wants with the dog now. So if she chooses to adopt him out that's on her. The husband said he didn't feel safe giving the dog to me (/boggle) - their email was pretty hostile sounding

The rescue was really polite in their email - stating that they never approached them regarding the dog and that the family called them seeking help. She told the family they had room for the dog and that's where they brought it. She said she'd send me an application if I was still interested.

so that's that. I've now washed my hands of this situation and just hope that the dog finds a great forever home!

Edit; after speaking with the lady at the rescue - apparently the poor dog was in pretty terrible shape (I knew of fleas) but apparently she hadn't had any shots, no nail trims, mud stuck in the fur. Etc.

To think the husband didn't think you would be a good owner.................. what the hell were they?

Are you thinking about adopting still?

Sounds like the dog is in a better place now - even though it sucks for you guys. Sorry, that's so frustrating! I hope those owners never get a dog again!

No I can't go and get him now. even though I'd love to it would cost me close to 400 dollars to travel there and pay her fee. Not at all doable with Christmas .

I was a little shocked when I read that he said he didn't feel safe giving her to me.

And it does suck but it just wasn't meant to be. When the right one comes I'll know it.

Some people are just assholes. Don't take it personally. Whats your area, I'll check around.,

I have the Delaware Valley Siberian Rescue down here about an hour away from where I am. I check there every once in awhile.

They have the cutest little girl husky right now! :3

But still can't do it with the holidays. 235 to adopt her also.

I'm not pushing too hard for another one right now. I said I'd wait until Bella was two years old to get another puppy - it was just too good to be true when a 2 year old popped up while she was still a puppy. Know what I mean? lol
