I have to agree with who ever said you cant judge her unless you know her full situation. She does have a child and this dog may need more attention than she can give. Her child does come first before the dog. When I was younger we got a cat. We had cat before this one who got sick and passed away. We ended up getting a full grown cat probaly about a year or so old and by the end of two or three days we had to take him back. I was maybe five or so and my sister was around seven. The cat destroyed my mothers custom drapes which had my mother furious and on top of that me and my sister were afraid of the cat. This cat had belonged to a family who had just had a baby and that was pretty much all we were told. My mother decided after a couple of days that the cat needed to be brought back because the cat's personality didn't fit in with the family and she didn't watpnt her two daughters to be scared of what was supposed to be a family pet. This maltese may have had a similar situation... If it had issues from being a puppy mill rescue then that means that so much more goes into taking care of him. To add a child on top of that is going to add to the stress level and if she couldn't handle it then she made the right decision to bring him to a shelter and not just give him away to someone she barely knows or doesn't know at all. Clearly she tried to keep the dog if she had him since January and it's now April. |
