Let me tell you my story of a rescued dog we got. He was up for adoption and my husband had just lost his job due to his COPD, he was alone all day as I worked, our last child in school all day, he was getting depressed. Picked up Brodie, had him for 3 months got out the front door and was hit by a car. After spending over $4800.00 on medical bills, for which we had to take out a loan for, he was back to normal. Months later my husband ended up going into the hospital due to his COPD, and when he came home he was very weak, which is always the case anyway. I was traveling more and could not spend the time with Brodie, so after months of soul searching it was decided that it was best to bring him back. We had no issues with him and he was a great dog. I explained that due to his size that he should NOT be placed with young children, although he was fine with our grandbabies, did not like men with hats, did bark alot etc. DID NOT BITE ANYONE. I brought him in, filled out all the necessary paperwork, they asked if I wanted him placed or destroyed, of course I wanted him placed. Well, he was placed with a young woman and her parents, several weeks into her ownership the dog bite her boyfriend, weeks later he nipped at the mother and then bite the young woman too. Well, to make this story shorter, they put the DOG DOWN, and are now SUEING US. AND THE ASPCA IS SUEING US TOO.. We will be going to court in OCTOBER... SO, we will NEVER rescue another dog nor will any member of my family either...As a footnote we were the second owner of this dog and never received any information regarding his previous owner.
