I guess I have been lucky that most of my fosters have not been particularly difficult cases. The worst was Scrappy, and well he didn't make it. But a rescue should make it clear that rescuing dogs could also be a crap shoot (although they are vetted) just like buying from a byb.
Your poor Momo! That just proves right there that just bc a vet is a vet, doesn't mean they necessarily know what they are doing! |
Oh I didn't mean to bum you out! It's not a sad story. It's a happy story!! Momo was able to overcome the difficulties & hardship of the first few months of her life. She hung in there, pulled through & made it. She's now a healthy, happy, rough & tumble little tomboy who loves life! She holds her head high with the pride of her strength & courage. She's my little tiger
And so that I'm not completely off the topic of this thread...she's a mixed breed (Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese) rescue from Connecticut. I paid a $450 adoption fee to her rescue organization when I brought her home at 13 weeks.
