awww...guys. He's trying to do the right thing for the dog by finding the best home. I think that should be commended. I've said it in other threads, so sorry if I repeat myself, but...somethin
g I've learned in all of my rescue/rehoming stuff...people can be *good* dog parents without having all of the traits that we ourselves would have. Not everyone is going to treat their dogs like we do, or do all of the things that we would. But, that doesn't mean that the dog doesn't have lotsa love. You can tell from reading what the man wrote on her site that he truly loves her.

) to withold our judgement a lot of the times. I know that a lot of people fear/hate rescue because of it, and in shelter situations, that kind of judgement can prevent a dog from going to a pretty good home. Also, I think that these kinds of situations can be a good opportunity to educate. And maybe that is what this guy is looking to do, too. Maybe he learned somewhere along the way (after buying his dog) that these are the things you need to think about BEFORE buying, and now he's going to make sure that someone else does...
Not to be preachy. Just my way of lookin' at things.
