Earl

I took the dog we are fostering to this 'event' on base today to try to get him adopted. We have had him for about 8 weeks now and only one person has contacted us about him; she was a big ball of crazy. ~side note about her: She was asking about Earl and I gave her information on the phone, as soon as we got off the phone she would send me e-mails telling me the same thing we had just talked about on the phone. Some of her stories started to not add up and I thought better than to give Earl to her. I sent an e-mail thanking her for her interest but that we didn't think that at this time her home was best for him; he has been abused by someone and the home we send him to will need to be a forever home. She sent me an e-mail back telling me I "should be ashamed" of myself and that obviously my home was not good enough for him but hers was because we were trying to get rid of him and she wanted him. From the start I told her that I found Earl and we have been trying to find him a new home after the first two weeks of looking for his owners. That really did upset me and I know that it shouldn't have but I take things like that to heart; I try to do my part and save the animals that I can save and someone like her has to come in and tell me how bad of a person I am. Man, that just made me very upset that my husband had to write the e-mail to ask her not to contact me again for any reason.
So, back to Earl. We were at the 'event' today and not one person looked at him while we where there. When He and I walked away to the other side people would come over and talk to us and see Earl. I gave my number/e-mail to about 5 people, but I am not sure any of them will contact me. I cannot understand why it is being so hard to find Earl a good home. He is a very good dog; he is great with cats and other dogs and wonderful with children. He is about a year old, but I have found other dogs older then Earl good homes. I really like Earl and so does my husband but I just don't think that a third dog would be good for us, I mean, I bring in all the stray animals I find and a house full of animals is just a bit much.

Well, I hope we find him a good home soon. It is going to become hard to let him go after awhile.
