[quote=Anonymous] Do your homework before contacting anyone. Never assume shelters or rescues have your best interest at heart. Never assume they will tell you all they know or suspect about a dog. My neighbor was handed a dog who was supposedly healthy after a huge skin infection - no, it turned out it was still in the throes of it, which the vet told my neighbor the shelter *had* to know about. They lied. My friends adopted a dog stipulating that they could not accept a dog over a certain size. They were given a dog at the upper limit of their request and assured that it would not grow bigger. Except it did, which was bound to happen since the dog was a Great Dane - hound mix. A knowledgeable dog person should have recognized the paws and other signs, and told my friends. Now they have a calf to contend with, one who pulls them off their feet and into the road when they go on walks. I could go on, but you get the picture. [/quote]
