Boo

So last Monday I get a call from a friend about a dog that needs a home. I call the people, who coincidentally live right near where I was working, and stop by at lunch to meet her. She is a sweet shephard/lab mix with short legs. I immediately bonded with her, which made the nice couple that had to give her away happy. All was well, and I told them I would pick her up after work on the way home. This is where the story takes a turn for the worse. They decided to call the shelter that they adopted her from, to tell them that they found a good home for her. This is where the shelter told them that they were in a legal contract with them, and she had to go back to the shelter instead of another home. They then quickly came out and took Boo away.

I called the shelter, explained my situation, then they said they would have to do a house inspection, before she could go with us. I agreed wholeheartedly and said they could come by that afternoon if they want. They said they would not be able to come by until Wednesday at 4pm. I agree. Wednesday 4pm comes...5pm...6pm...7pm. Then I call the number given which was busy !????! After twenty minutes, I finally get through, and the woman that answers (Janet) says that it was way too stormy to go out tonight, so she decided not to (without calling!). I ask when she can come by. Janet says the shelter is having a dog adoption day at Petsmart on Saturday, so I can go out then and bring my dogs to introduce them to Boo. Of course, this will not change the fact that there still has to be a home inspection done. We will try on Saturday morning at 10am, but I'm losing patience with this shelter. Boo will have spent 5 days in a cold kennel alone for no reason at this point, and who knows how long after that....
