While it's great that so many pets are adopted over the holidays, it sometimes worries me that they may be thought of as a gift rather then a life that needs a home.   |
I know what you mean. The shelter tries to make sure people know they need to be very sure about what they are doing when they give an animal as a gift. It's a potential problem regardless of the time of the year. We have very little control over what happens once they leave us. All we can do is educate adopters as well as we can and hope for the best.
A couple of weeks ago I got 3 adorable 8 week old kittens that needed to gain weight before they were eligible for adoption. I got them the same day they were turned in to the shelter. I was able to return them last Sun (20th). I hated the thought of them living in a cramped little cage after having full run of my guest bedroom. I was very happy when they were all adopted on Tues. I was happy they only had to spend a total of 2 days at the shelter. I prefer to assume they went to wonderful homes where they will be happy and loved. If I'm going to assume something I prefer to assume that!
Merry Christmas!
She is just gorgeous, I am positive she will have no problem in finding a forever home. x
