I have a #dogdaughter, she is adopted from Kola-Kariola Shelter in Bucharest. It wasn`t the smoothest ride in the process of adoption, but it was all my fault. The guys at Kola-Kariola and my girlfriend had the best behaviour in all the process. Nothing but the best for them. This adoption took place 2 and a half years ago, right when we moved into our new home - click on the link to read about buying or having to rent a place - and I was not really into having a dog. But this is not what I am writing this post. The procedure was very simple, go see the future pet, take it to the vet - that is paid by the shelter - sign the adoption contract and go home and have a very new happy life. At the veterinary, we listened to some ground rules for the pet to be happy, we took the identity card and went straight home. That`s it!
In the last week, we tried to adopt a cat. Knowing the basic procedure we talked to a couple of people that had little kittens out for adoption. Very nice kittens but not so nice parent`s. And when it comes to humans that have pets out for adoption, I need to make a point: pet owners can really be annoying, stubborn, and slaves to some idiotic rules about adoption. An example is given: today, on Facebook Messenger we were said by the owner of this beautiful kitten that if we want it to become ours we would have to promise to keep it indoors at all times. And also, if we want it, the owner would come to our address to see the conditions we live in. Come on....at this point I exploded. Why is it so important for the owner that wants to give away a kitten and never see it again to know where and how the adoptive parent lives!! It is ok just to ask a couple of questions about the premises, but to see it in person....home intruder alert!!! As you will find out reading my post in the link above, we live in the outskirts of Bucharest, which seems to be a little far for the owner....talking about the love of the kitten that you want to give away!!! The answer was very curious like wow...you do not live in the city. My reply was next: If you consider that the kitten would have a nicer life in a one-bedroom apartment rather than a house with a backyard to play in, go ahead and find other adoptive parents. We will look for another kitten to adopt.
So, we will get another dog from Kola-Kariola! :)
#odrithedogdaughter will have a brother or a sister in the coming future!
