First of all I am really glad that your pup is doing better. Check out Dr. Foster and Smith for the poop eating. There is a few things for that.
Second....not trying to flame a dying fire....but I have to put my 2 cents in about rep breeders vs rescues...I wanted to rescue.it was the worse experience. One rescue in NJ had In their adoption policies "We adopt to homes in PA, NJ, MD and DE and some areas of VA, NY and CT. "I read the everything before I submitted an app. I received a form letter that we lived too far from them. Now I live in Orange County, NY. It touches NJ. So I wrote a email back. No response. Resent. And a number of calls. Last upset phone call I got this mean email back. That people fill out apps but don't want to come all the way to pick up the dog at foster home. (I saw where I had to go BEFORE I submitted and was willing to drive.) I put a weight that they didn't have for a dog.(I wanted to adopt a certain dog so I put his weight) what if the dog chased my cats. I would return him and someone would have to come and pick him up.(first I would have asked if he was ok with cats and my cats have been around dogs before they are find with them) ...at no time did anyone call me and ask me about their concerns. I wrote them back with those comments and still no reponse (not expecting any) I submitted another rescue app it said that they are busy and ran by volunteers so it may take 2-3 weeks to hear from them. 2 months later NOTHING. Called sent an email just checking about my app and nothing. So I have spoken to some wonderful reputable breeders. I am going to get a wonderful puppy through one of them. And I do agree that both ways are the best way and no one should go to puppy stores, BYB or mills!!!!!! I want to thank you for letting me get that off my chest. |
