I respect and support your position on this, I really do. But I have also worked with various rescue organizations, both animal and human, and have seen the outcome when people should have rehomed before there was too much damage done. Trying to undo damage takes a lot more effort and time than to prevent it in the first place. I work with children that have to be taken from abusive homes ~ if we could have removed them before the stress was too great, we could have avoided the terrible abuse that we see....the abuse that you speak of in your rescue dogs. I'm not trying to get on a soap box here, just merely stating that there are times when rehoming is best. This may not be one of those times if she is still willing to try, but if not, I don't think she should feel guilty about doing her best.

I agree. But I think that often people give up without trying. If they'd only try. Their dogs feel an enormous amount of love for them and they don't understand what's going on.
With Izze---her mom wasn't willing to give up anything for her... she was in the position to do so, but she didn't want to. And Izze loved her and it broke my heart that Izze was tossed aside like an object. I am in tears right now just thinking about what my Izze went through. It's not fair. And if someone is willing to step up---they should. Otherwise, they really shouldn't ever have dogs if they feel this way and yeah their dog should be rehomed. I just love animals more then anything and it really hurts me when nobody cares for them. They are so helpless and all they want is love...is that too much to ask? Now I'm going to hug my Izze. She doesn't know why i'm crying like a basketcase.
