You sure did have your heart in the right place it sounds like! I'ts their loss for sure!
I have a couple of special Items put away for my kids (17 & 15) that I hope they appreciate when the time comes!
I certainly wish I was in a different position at the moment,I would give these precious Pups a great home!!
I know all about wanting someone that appreciates these to have them,I would too.
All the best.
