I was looking at breeders (am on a few long term waiting/consideration) lists for a puppy but still I insist on going on petfinder ... Why do I DO this to myself ??? I can't save them all & their sweet, sad faces call to me .
Anyone else with this problem?
YES! I was exactly like that while I was waiting for Enda (although I don't check as often, I so still browse Petfinder, it's craigslist more often these days). To my utter SHOCK, I actually did find not one, but two Beauceron's in rescues in PA, one in Philly and one in Pittsburgh, Purebred, one even had cropped ears, both approx 2 at the time. Problem? "No out of area adoptions!". I do wonder what ever happened to those two, I really do.
I'm kind of going through it again, ABC is taking in a substantial "lot" from a breeder right now (they need transport if anyone is willing, look up the American Beauceron Club's facebook page), and ultimately no, I do not have the time, room, or financial status for another dog. But there are also at least two dog from this "situation" who were picked up by a rescue in the area (Ohio) who again, has the "no out of area adoptions!" clause. One's purebred (the other is half GSD) if anyone in Ohio is interested.
