Helpful Groups & Dogs in Need / Re: How does this happen to pyr babies?
« on: July 17, 2005, 06:54:44 am »
I'm in rescue, www.txpyrs.org, and I have yet to see any rescue that "kills".
I would be so hacked off if there was any. The only time that is done is if there is NO way of turning that
dog around, meaning sick, injured or just totally untrustable/biting, and making it adoptable.
But I have yet to see any of that done in our group. We exhaust EVERY avenue there is before we would put a dog down.
We have 2 pyr pups up for adoption right now. SOOOOO SWEET. The best thing is the foster home they are in has young children so the pups are being raised with kids.
As far as breeders dumping puppies, I was at a first monday type thing and a breeder had 1 male pyr w/ papers and was just going to give him to me. SAD.
What really breaks your heart is these 1-2 y.o. pyrs that come to you that are trained and everything else but the owners didn't take care of them ie: heartworm meds, mange etc...
Not that gets to me everytime.
