Ever since I looked at the ARK website I can't get all the images of dogs out of my head. I fell in love with a spitz, but another family inquired about him and I may not get him. Now I'm looking for other dogs and there is too many. I'm getting overwhelmed and time of course is always short for these poor animals. There is one dog who has a bad eye that is at the same shelter as the spitz. I can't afford her, but the people seem excited at the prospect of me taking her. There are jindo mixes that I would love, but now there are too many options. I just wanted the spitz.
Now I feel terrible that I can't save them all. I hate this helpless feeling. It kept me up most of the night. Maybe it could be my own selfishness. I wanted a dog to make me happy, but now I just feel hopeless. Yes, I wanted to be happy, but I also wanted something to love and to give a home to where they could feel safe and secure. I can afford a dog. I live by a clinic so I have no excuses.
But there are just too many. I might go to a shelter next weekend and volunteer. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can welcome in a new member of my family. Right now it is just too much and they all are running out of time.
