As some of you are aware, I have been involved with a rescue situation in my home province.
This was not the first time for me where I have helped re-home a dog, or pet sat for an owner who had the need for longer term help whilst they sorted out their situation. But the scale of this situation was the first time such a large "rescue" situation in our breed has happened.
And the blame game is something that has been on-going. The questions of "how could this happen?" why did any-one not know what was going on? why did the breeder not ask for help?, how could this person of previous good name let these dogs come to this? To which in all honesty I respond I do not know. And I don't know.
All I know is that it is heart-wrenching to be part of the solution and to try to find homes for these dogs in need.
And I am reminded that in serves no purpose to place blame. It doesn't help the dogs, it doesn't help would be adopters.
And I am reminded of the phrase; There but for the grace of God, go I.
