LadyJane - I appreciate your post and yes we need to be realist when we even just THINK about pulling, let alone pull and bring into our home w/other animals and our family - I now see why rescues do not pull from M-D - it gets complicated -
I asked about the diseases and the only answer I received was regarding Hillsborough County (Tampa) I also know another shelter had a problem with parvo and many dogs were put down but I do not remember which shelter -
If you have any advise for us PLEASE do not hesitate to post - in my area we mostly get hunting dogs we rarely get small dogs - there are some in Gainesville and Ocala but nothing like M-D -
Many times good intentions can go wrong so please post any concerns you have as I have never pulled from a shelter before - all of my dogs are rescue but they have not been in a shelter - I have experience with rabbit rescue since 2006 but that's a completely different than pulling a dog - Thanks,
