Cindy Richardson, a California resident, has always loved Weimeraner dogs, and she’s had the breed for fifty years.
Since she’s had only four litters of puppies over that period of time, she doesn’t consider herself to be a breeder.
Recently, Richardson had a litter of puppies who started searching for forever homes after turning eight weeks.
As always, the dog owner did her best to find the right family for each puppy. She interacted with the adoptive families and met all family members in order to make sure that her puppies found loving homes where they would be happy.
However, a short while ago, a family who adopted an eight-week-old puppy from Richardson returned him, and the reason left her stunned.
Not A Forever Home After All
Just like his siblings, an eight-week-old puppy named Shadow was excited to go to his forever home.
Everything looked great. Richardson met his adoptive family, who had five-year-old twins. They were nice people who were eager to welcome Shadow into their home.
Since Shadow was raised with her five-year-old granddaughter, Richardson knew that the pup would do great with the twins of the same age.
She said goodbye to Shadow, wishing her a happy life in her new home. The woman never imagined the surprise that she was about to experience.
Just 24 hours after Shadow’s adoption, the family called Richardson to say they were bringing the puppy back. Their reason left her in disbelief.
The family complained that Shadow wasn’t trained enough.
“He poops everywhere, he chews everything, we can’t train him, he kept us up all night,” the adopters told Richardson who shared their complaints on TikTok.
Just like the TikTok community, Richardson was surprised because Shadow’s adopters thought he would be more trained at eight weeks old.
Hoping To Find Someone Who Accepts Him As He Is
She immediately took Shadow back, promising him that she would find him a new family who would understand him and be patient with him.
After they returned the puppy, the family admitted that they had a dog prior to having kids, and not after. It was then that Richardson concluded that the adopters couldn’t handle having a puppy because they had a lot of work with their twins.
She suggested they adopt an adult dog from a rescue because having a puppy requires more patience and training.
After this experience, Richardson decided that she would not give puppies to families who has never had the breed before.
She kept the promise she gave to Shadow and found him a new home.
His new mom had been searching for a puppy for months, and once she saw Shadow, she fell in love.
The puppy who changed his name to Mozzie found his happy ending with his human, who cherishes him like the treasure that he really is.
We wish you all the best, Mozzie!
