Imagine adopting a squishy-faced little puppy, falling in love and having a magical six-weeks together … and then realizing it’s not going to work out and having to give her back to the animal rescue. Like, right away. Tomorrow. Can you? Stephanie Nelson had to do it. She adopted tiny little Juniper, a darling little girl with a white diamond on the back of her neck … and found out that her needs were just too much for their family to meet. On today’s show, Nelson joins us to tell her heartbreaking story. It’s the kind of story most dog lovers are afraid to tell. We worry that we will be judged harshly, thought hard-hearted. But the opposite is true. Dog lovers who return their dogs ASAP to be rehomed with families that are a better fit are doing the right thing. Lisa Giesick, a positive dog trainer and Stephanie’s consultant, explains why she did the exact right thing. This is a very special story that will strike a story for anyone who’s ever loved any dog, anywhere. If you’ve ever worried about failing a dog adoption, it will offer you hope and solace.
