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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. 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 bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, my dog ran away. I looked for him for 5 hours, and when I came back home, he was waiting for me at the door. FML
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 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
Today, my mom told me to go meet a rescue dog. After doing all my research and emailing shelters left and right, I finally got a call. It went well! Then, my mom told me it would never happen. I'm still expecting several emails from the shelters I contacted, so I get to relive this pain. FML
Today, over a year on from my parents telling me my dog had died, I went to the shelter to volunteer, and saw my old dog. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did you find the dog? Is he ok? I hope he likes his new family. Poor fella, he must have been totally confused.

I have never seen a shelter keep an animal for a few years. They are usually 'put down' after within a month.

#13, there are a great number of shelters in the U.S. now that are no-kill shelters, which means that they don't put the animals down unless the animal is sick/dying or overly aggressive and un-adoptable. This is probably the kind of shelter the OP works for.

That stinks. Did you find the dog later. And that is not a FML story.

aww, Well I'm sure you'll find the baby, and it is def. an FML story. Oh and, don't blame the person, maybe it wasnt them who let the dog go! and #8, you cant get fired from a VOLUNTEER basis.

#13 many shelters are no-kill. They will keep dogs for years and years until they die naturally or are hopefully adopted. These are the best kinds of shelters, they give everyone a chance. My family and I got our rescue from a no-kill shelter.

if this site has taught us only one thing it's that hugs are evil.
