This is Ellie. she was listed on an email I received from Petfinder. She is 2 years old..I again, (5th time) filled out the necessary paperwork. I was contacted by the rescue organization CARE. We were able to set up an appointment to meet her this past Sunday
We met in a pavilion at a community center. Our contact was a lovely lady who brought out little Ellie. What a cutie, full of piss and vinegar, even Pete liked her. We brought the wheelchair and the walker, I was able to use the walker, I had to sit down at a picnic table which was right there, she did too. We spent about an hour and went over my 2nd application. She said everything looked good, the process would move quickly and to contact our vet because they would be calling. There were other people who were also interested in Ellie.
I hadn’t heard anything, so yesterday, Thursday, I emailed CARE to see if a decision had been made. They decided to give her to a family with children, whom “she adored.”
I was devastated, I really thought we would get her. I inquired about two other dogs, the lady had in the car and they were also adopted.
She told me to go to their website and read their process, which I had done. I tried to get on the website again and a notice came up that it was not secure and wouldn’t let me on.
I wrote back saying, “ are you telling me that something was wrong with the application, and what happened when I went to their website .” I also asked if we could be considered for any new and upcoming dogs. The response, “I’m not telling you anything and I am not a technician.” Wow, how cold, never answered my question about future adoptions. I was in tears.
Did it have anything to do with me using a walker, did they think I couldn’t handle all 15 lbs. of her? I’ll never know. I have this feeling that I’m not good enough and I know that is on me.
