Rob, I feel the same way and know what it is like to let the little ones goes. I sheltered and raised new born orphan kittens---some less than 24 hours old---and I cryed when each and every one of them went back to the shelter for adoption. In the span of 8 solid years of sheltering and loving I only kept 2 kittens for myself. But as you know, it is hard not to keep them. You and I seem to have the same heart for animals. My blessings to you for what you did. I have been retired from sheltering for about a year. Just finally got to be to much for me---mainly the lack of sleep caused from the feeding every 2 hours around the clock, etc. I want to return to sheltering but really can't. It just takes to much out of me and GOD I MISS it so much. Good luck with your puppy. I know you will take fantastic care of him and he will care for you and love you FOREVER with no hidden motives or anything. Enjoy HERC
