George, I am so sorry to hear that you must be absolutely gutted....

Is there any chance that you can keep some sort of contact with them so that if/when they find they are unable to keep him in the future, that you could offer to take him on again?

If not, I suppose there's very little you can do... however, please don't forget that the rescues are absolutely overflowing with lovely staffies, and if you felt at some point in the future that you would like to give one of these a home, you could have a loyal friend once again, and could possibly save the life of another little dog who needs a kind human.

I am really sorry for you, it must feel awful at the moment-I can quite understand how much you can bond with a dog in a relatively short period of time... however, you did your best and that's all you can do.

Take care,

fc

So sorry George.

She seems such an unreliable sort of person that it's quite likely she'll want to 'dump' him on you again when it's not convenient to have him around anymore.

I do hope you can keep contact with him.

Sorry again
