thanks.. he was " trying" at times but is a total lovebug. His new home is gonna spoil him even more This is like Christmas eve and Santa comes tomorrow for them. His new mom is a stay at home mom so he will very seldom be alone. He still has separation anxiety so this will be good for him. He has 2 human brothers who are bigger ( high school ) and Drifter has already bonded to the younger one.

That's such good news, rotts4ever! Sounds like a great placement--and how wonderful that he never needed the surgery on his ear!

for Drifter!

great for Drifter finding his forever home. Thank you and your family for such great care you have given him. The rainbow bridge will welcome you and your famliy with big sloppy kisses and bellys to rub galore. NOT that you will be going there any time soon....it just seemed like the right thing to say. pbp

So... back to the adoption board.

Oh how heartbreaking for that whole family :sad: What a shock for all of them. Probably just as well as poor Drifter would have been moving in on some very sad energy :sad:

He is such a cutie...I can't imagine it will take too long to find a new perfect forever family for him

Bless you for all you have already done and taking care of this until the end

I have an idea that may help.

Why not contact a rescue group close by and ask them to take the dog over. Offer to foster until a family is found. They should cover the food expenses and medical if need be. The dog will get maximum exposure and it will take the pressure off you. Also, you can ask the rescue if you can participate in the screening process so you will still maintain a certain amount of control on who this dog is being considered by. This will enable you to have a say since you are the one that knows this dog the best. I do know that most rescues want full control but there are others that will consider sharing this responsibility. Anyways - it's something to consider.

I am so sorry the adoption fell through. :sad: I'm with Babymomma. Maybe it's a sign he belongs with you. Thank you for being his continuing angel.

Sorry I see that you are in Ontario. If you want I can ask a few rescues if they can courtesy post for you. If yes, they will take over the adoption process but you can continue to foster. Let me know if you need help with this option. It is possible that we do not work with the same rescues.
