I have been looking at rescues etc. for a female dane... just keeping an eye out. Well anyway I found one that is yanking my heartstrings, she is less than a year and has had a very rough start at life. The funny thing is she could be a twin of my Sweet Tisha. Well..she is in another state, but my friend at the local Humane society makes trips there with the rescue wagon every so often, and she could bring her back...anyway I think the woman has ruled me out because I sent her pics. of Tisha and said I couldn't believe how much they looked alike. She started in with "I hope you aren't trying to replace her...no 2 dogs are the smae" WTF??? I am not 3...I want to adopt a dog in need rather than buy a pup.
I look at the local dane rescues and they say " a fence attached to the house so that the dog exits into it is required"?? again WTH??? I live on 4+ acres!!! I am not fencing around my house. I have 2 kennel areas if I need to use them but my dogs are with me either inside or outside. Never lost a dog....I guess they are better off shoved out in a yard all day, or staying in the VERY crowded shelters than living in the country being spoiled!!!!! Oh and the one rescue says they WILL NOT adopt a dog into a house with kids under 10 years old!!! I guess it is off to the puppy mill/BYB I go.....
Then I get on Craigslist tonight. someone in Columbus has a 2 year old dane female (merle) she is getting rid of her because she is pregnant and no vet will cut the dogs tail off for her!!!! WTH!!!!!!! She already has 4 kids 10, 8 , and 4 years old. What the h*ll does she think chopping a 2 year old dogs tail off is going to do?
I am sick of people today....
