Okay. Now I'm just plain ol' red-headed irritated with those biddies.
What may have happened is that someone there knew someone who wanted a Chihuahua and they were just putting you off to buy some time until the other person could come in and get him.
Totally a chicken#$%* way to handle things. If there was a possible adoption pending they should have told you it was a possibility and not let you get yourself all ready for that one particular pup!
Things happen for a reason though. We'll all take a deep breath and try to come back down, knowing that your perfect heart-dog is still out there for you.
You might want to ask why the quarantine. That might be something important to know. If they won't tell you, the health department - or even one of the local vets - might know.
You know, often vets' offices will have a list of dogs that need to be adopted for one reason or another. Have you checked with any of your local vets?

Check with some veterinarians' offices - maybe even go by and walk in and talk to the office staff. Often people who have to move and can't take their pets for one reason or another will ask their vets to help re-home them, or vets will care for an animal that's been injured and try to find it a home after it has recovered.
OMG! This shelter is bull sh*t. I think Renee's right; probably someone's friend wanted Chico, and couldn't come into get him right away, so they lied to you. That only means that your dog is still waiting, though.
Yeah, definatley check with the vet's offices. I sure hope you get some better luck with the next people!
Let us know what happens! Best of luck Nedim!!!

their email is [email protected] if anyone else wants to prove my point that a lot of people cared about Paco and Nedim and are disappointed in what happened.
Nedim, I can't believe this !!! I'm so mad for you !! But, as you've been told..there may be a reason..there has to be something with the quarantine too...you may have gotten a very sick dog. We all care so much for you, I'm even going to call ElinHunter's cell phone on her way to Talladaga! Read page 176 in your book, so you'll know more of what to look for. Saje, thanks for the connection, I was ready to look it up to e-mail my disgust !! Heads up, Nedim... you're heart dog's out there.!!
Thanks guys, I'll keep searching for the right dog, but Paco really felt like he was "the right one". I was devistated to find he'd been taken. Man, talk about a sad day. I was even ready to go to petco and pick up a bed and toys for him. I really must thank all of you, and an extra special thanks to you Saje. Its too late for Paco and me, but maybe your e-mail will make someone elses experience with the shelter a more pleasant one.
