If my Tibbe were being kept from me after surrendering him for care I was now somehow able to provide, I would probably be on here calling it stealing or worse because I'd be hysterical at that point. No, I'd be beyond hysterical. You'd think rescue, once they saw the dog could go back home and get care, would return the dog to its owner for the medical care and alert Animal Control if the welfare of the dog as to teeth, nutrition and cigarette smoke or other conditions were concerned and been done with it unless there are worse factors we don't know about.
It was terribly good of the rescue to work out the terms they did with the vet. But that terse statement about the coming retraction seemed.......a little too leading and certain about the statement to come and the tone of the words it would contain and had a bit of an or else quality about it to me. |
Like me I know if this happened to you, you would be making a very loud fit. But I sort of know your style of posts and I bet like me if you found out you were getting the dog back and the surgery costs covered you would be falling all over yourself giving thanks and apologies and so would I. So that is why I am not going to make an assumption that the OP did not write from the heart. We have to keep in mind that rescue groups try their best to place pups in homes not take them away.
