I think I found my sweet pup a new home!

[KSH]

Well, it hasn't even been a week since I put out the "call" to find a new home for my 7 year old, 2 pound Maltese.

I have received 3 calls already.

One of the calls was from a retired lady who lives very close to me. She currently has 2 Maltese. One is very old and close to death, and the other is a puppy-mill rescue.

Tashia (my dog) and I went for a meet and greet last night, and the lady had a very nice house (she really takes care of her yard, etc. Good sign.), and the dogs were so sweet. Her dogs were well groomed and behaved.

Tashia snooped all around the house, and the other 2 dogs didn't really pay her any attention. Tashia seemed comfortable around the dogs and didn't act shy or aggressive towards them. My dog typically does NOT act this way around other animals. Tashia even found the water bowl and started drinking.

Then, after a couple of hours, she was going to be the backdoor to be let out!

So, I am taking her over there for a trial period to see if she will fit in with the household. If so, my baby will have a new home where she will get more attention and be around people and dogs just like her... more.

I just figured I would give you ladies an update since many of you urged me to try to find her a good home where she wouldn't be locked in a cage 12 hours a day.

KSH-

Congratulations - sounds like a wonderful place for your little maltese! Kudos to you for doing what's right for your baby - that can't be an easy decision to make.

We had to re-locate a golden to my dad's house. She had terrible allergies, we had been to specialists, and there wasn't much hope of keeping her comfy. Whatever she is allergic to is not where my dad lives (mountains). He's disabled, and she has become almost an assistant to him. She healthier and dad has a companion. So, it really was for the best. But I (sort of) understand what you must be going through.

Wonderful KSH! It must be very difficult for you, but you are doing the right thing for both of you. Her new potential home sounds perfect for her.

KSH, wow, that sounds too good to be true!
If it works out for your little dog, you will be able to feel so GOOD that you found her a home where she can be spoiled all day and have little buddies to play with.

I'm happy for you both KSH... I admire that you're doing what's best for your baby... that can be very hard to do... if only the "right" thing to do could always be the "easy" thing to do...

let us know how it works out...
