I still gave her every chance but when I can't even get close enough to drop a slip lead over her neck to see how she would do outside, without her going nuts and leaping up and biting me, she's staying there. I agree, it's not their fault but there is only so much damage we can repair.molly lamountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11706120269688817827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362301983183604045.post-68299842488403506442009-08-20T12:42:43.400-04:002009-08-20T12:42:43.400-04:00...Drop by my place.

I had a similar situation recently ...I am so sorry. I had a similar situation recently and know it is heartbreaking. In my case I called and said the dog has to. Too iffy, can't foster him, had a feeling but had not seen any real agression. Said I will keep him safe, cared for and away from my kids, cats, dogs until we can move him. <br /><br />He went to another foster and tried to kill a cat, went after the dogs and when tested with a baby doll ripped it's head off and re-directed when they tried to stop the attack. <br /><br />Sometime you don't know in advance and sometimes you can't do it. It sucks! No dog should ever get to that point. Chin up! You do awesome work and you make a differecne every day!LilliGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367991827983761994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362301983183604045.post-43157626342495827952009-08-19T16:37:18.854-04:002009-08-19T16:37:18.854-04:00That sucked.

I am going to see if they will let me take the "boarder collie" out today to play when I go sign the paper work. <br /><br />I have definitely come a long way from where my views were when I started helping with rescue. Remember the "oh he's cute, let's get him!" and the "look at that face!" I used to try on you? It is sad but true, that we can't save them all. It used to completely tear me apart. Not that it doesn't get to me anymore but I am more realistic. If anyone will slap a person into reality it is you, Am. haha<br /><br />The best that we can do is give it our best shot. We have acomplished so much in a short period of time and we have raised a lot of awareness in the area.<br /><br />I wrote another paper about pet stores and puppy mills on Monday, btw. It was an any topic paper for english. <br /><br />I hope that we do get the AUSSIE. :PGulLovernoreply@blogger.com
