  • Pat and I had been talking to the grandmother privately, and there was much more to it than just aggression. I also fear what happened to this dog…and the family it goes to. I'm in total agreeance with you guys.

    Yes, that is true Arlene and I have been… and it is a very sad situation... like I said in other posts, sometimes the greatest act of kindness is to let this pup go....

  • Sometimes as a rescue person, the kindest thing we can advice, or do, is give the dog peace of the rainbow bridge.
    I have had to do that in the past…thank heavens, not for years.
    Its never been something I have done lightly, but I have never felt it was a wrong decision.
    The only decision I could do to give peace to the dog...

    Some things cannot be fixed. I urge you to get a qualified behaviorist (veterinary) to evaluate him. If he is truly unstable, rehoming him is not fair to him or the new home.

    Our local Humane Society collects dog food donations (even opened bags) for distribution to those who can't afford to feed their pets. I try and drop off a bag once in a while, but I forget. Thanks for the reminder!

    That's what I was guessing, Jannie, but I didn't remember your name, just Gracie and Roxie's. Must be all those years of being known as "Gena's (or one of the other kids') Mom" and knowing other mothers the same way. :p I'll let you know as soon as I talk to Laura today what's up. Thanks again, Alex. I know we've had issued with bots and trolls, so I understand not recommending posting email addresses.

    @knf106: He does have papers, from the ACA. I'm not sure who the sire and the dam are on the papers, because Oatie is not with me (I'm in NJ and he's in DC). Thanks, if you happen to talk to anyone that has access to the papers, would be good to know what they say. And it is good that Tonda, who works for an org. that works with these kinds of problem dogs is willing to take him. Hopefully one of the first things they do is a thyroid test and full medical workup…. and hopefully they can rehab him and be able to place him. I would guess it will be a long road, but good that he is going someplace that has worked with these kinds of behavior problems.
