As for you quoting my posts I am totally confused.  There are plenty of other members that made much more harsh statements than mine.  |
I was trying to quote the quote you quoted...and all that came up was yours...sorry for that.
Some shelters/et al DO play down issues just to get the dog moved.
Maybe the rescue you're connected with doesn't but many do and that's a reality at others. That's unfair to the dog and unfair to the potential new owner.
Some people trust what the shelter people say...yes, they should know to do research and probably take what the shelter workers say with a grain of salt, but some people judge by what they see...a dog acting differently in such an environment. Underneath that sweet timid dog at the shelter may lie a vicious thing. I know my dogs sometimes act completely different when thrust into a new situation.
Sometimes the shelter people don't know, and how could they truly know the dog's history or how it will react in a different situation.
I did go back and reread the first post...what I got from it was someone took in a rescue dog
with issues (were all those issues made known to her...we'll never know, were all those issues even known by the shelter/rescue workers, we'll never know) but what we do know is the dog had
issues which appeared to manifest itself greater post the birth of her child.
This woman tried to do the right thing by taking in a rescue dog and the woman accepted those issues were greater than she could handle and she chose to find the dog a more suitable home for the good of her family and the good of the dog. Her sin appears to be having tried where so many others wouldn't.
