It would not take me a minute to decide to give my pup to a loving family I knew to take it in at that point. Of course I would think they will never know the difference but it could happen and this is what happened here I'm sure.
The main job of rescue is to make sure that a dog that has already been brought to rescue does not come back again, it is way too hard on the dog. Like I said before restrictions are way too strict but I see ours does it on a case to case basis which makes sense since every dog is different as well as every family. People also take on rescue animals to sell at a profit and this is another reason these rules are in place but I would not have cared a bit. I would have to suffer some of the consequences but this woman is seeing money signs and once all the law suits and counter law-suits are over we probably will know no more about the truth than we do now. I now found a link saying 14 was a part of the contract  |
Lawsuit or no lawsuit, if Iggy has been placed in another home and gets acclimated to that home, the damage is done and it would defeat the point to return him to Ruby since, by then, he will already be acclimated to another home. This is why I think this rescue woman is so terrible. She knows this...this is why she claims to have placed him with another home...because SHE knows that if the hairdresser's family loves Iggy, it would break their heart to have him get used to another home and to have ANOTHER family fall in love with him and then do to them what they had done to them...by having Iggy taken away if Ellen were to win the lawsuit.
