Hey Kathy, wow you really said that well. Everything that I believe in myself too. We do have a responsibility to these dogs. glad to hear others out there who feel the same.

The dogs don't ask or chose to come into the world. We have "First Right of Refusal" and "Lifetime Takeback" on our contracts, and we mean it. Things can happen to anyone in this economy, and with the war going on, a lot of folks who are Reservists and Guard get shipped out. Divorce, Death, Illness or maybe it just isn't working. We also cover that part with a 48 hour "no questions asked" return policy, because well sometimes it just wasn't a good idea , and people get overly excited about a dog/ puppy. To their dismay, maybe the spouse or dog or cat or kids aren't so thrilled. It happens. We feel very responsible for our dogs. We worry about them, we wonder about them. Even the rescues we pull, when we have the chance, have the same takeback policy. They didn't ask us to pull them from a shelter and rehome them...so we have to be responsible for having done that. Because of these things, I sleep better at night.
