Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my ex adopted a dog from the dog pound. It was the same dog he made me get rid of while we were still together. FML
Today, I got a puppy. I just found out I can't bring it on the family trip. To save me the trouble of finding a friend to take her in, my mum handed her back to the pound. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML
Today, I adopted a dog from the local shelter. I put the dog in the car and he was shedding everywhere, but I was ok with that because he was my dog. As I pulled into the parking lot, the dog began to poop in the backseat of my car. When I got him out of the car, he ran off. $100 for him to poop and run away. FML
Today, I finally decided to get a dog. I have always been wanting to get one ever since I was a child. I bought a $1,400 Golden Retriever. I went out for lunch a few hours later with a friend, so I left my dog in the backyard. I came back home to a broken fence and no dog. FML
Today, after finally giving up on the search for my lost dog, I realized that my neighbors had found her and are convinced that she was a stray. They won't give her up and are now mad at me for trying to take my own dog back. FML
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML
Today, I brought back the puppy I adopted for my family. I spent months doing all the research on puppy care with two young children, and at least five hundred dollars for the dog, the supplies, toys… the whole lot. Turns out everyone's allergic to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYL indeed....but you should have put those chips they put in dogs to track them down, then all they had to do is scan it and your info would pop out.....

That happened to us before with my cat. The guy who lived behind us kept calling the pound to come and take her, so we kept having to go and get her and pay for her.

Oh come on! You got your dog back! I'd pay $250 to have one of my pets back if I truly missed him/her.

you're honestly very lucky they didn't put your dog down. most places dont have the money or space to keep up with the influx of animals. As soon as any animal shows any sign at all of being sick or any aggression whatsoever, they get put down. the dog got lost/left the yard = you ****** up. you should have to pay for your mistake. this isn't an FML. it doesn't matter if you could prove the dog was yours or not. I hope you didn't get all mad and embarass yourself to the pound staff. the pound is NOT a public service - compassionate people don't want your animal to die on the streets if it gets lost so ****** pay them for your mistake

YDI for it getting to the point that your dog ended up there anyway. If you can't take care of it, then don't have one.

Not to be a jerk, but seriously, you should have paid better attention to your dog.
