In my search of finding a great rescue dog, i have read about a lot of shelters in Canada. Not once have i read about any that have no foster care or feed them junk, and i live in Canada too. I have done a lot of research, and it sounds like you need to do a bit more. Also I have not heard of a shelter here that doesn't find the best home possible. They all ask very detailed questions, and it takes weeks for your application to be approved. They are very thorough. When my parents got divorced when I was 12, They decided to give away my first dog, who I have had for two years. I was heartbroken, even that young I couldn't think of how someone could get rid of a family member just like that. I fought for her, but being a kid, and no money of my own, I lost the battle, and still miss her. Just because neither of them wanted the dog. I still get a bit mad at them just thinking about it. I don't understand why you got a small dog in the first place, with this lifestyle. If you ever decide to get another dog, please think seriously about getting a more active, larger breed. (: |
