Hi Friends,
We are going to politely ask that people stop tagging us in posts of dogs to adopt, sending us dogs that are looking for new homes, and asking if he came home etc. If he did come home believe me we would post it.
We know this comes from a place of caring and the support you all have shown has been second to none and we could not be MORE grateful, but as previously iterated we are not looking to replace Dakota. We always hold hope he will one day be returned to us but grasp the reality that he has been gone for over 2 years and the very real circumstances are that the chances of that happening are about 1 in 1 million. So please understand that your messages often bring up a lot of unresolved hurt surrounding his disappearance and that wound on our hearts is very raw and probably always will be.
We have senior dogs that were Dakota’s family as well when he disappeared who are beginning to really show their age and have zero intentions of upsetting their comfort to add to our family at this time.
Thank you for your understanding and respect on this matter.
Jamie & Spence
