[quote=Anonymous]I recently went through a very similar situation (dog was not a good fit for our family - small kids and city living made the dog VERY anxious) and did initially have trouble getting the rescue to respond, but with a few follow ups they did get back to us and have been very helpful ever since.  However, if you still can't get a hold of them, you could consider posting the dog on Adopt-A-Pet. They have a (new?) option for owners to post dogs for adoption; this would allow you to screen applicants yourself and find a home that fits what you believe the dog needs/have honest conversations with potential owners.

Just because the dog isn't right for *your situation* doesn't mean it's hopeless or needs to be euthanized (I will truly never understand the people on this board who just immediately jump to suggesting anyone kill an animal). Our sweet dog is now doing great in a home with more space and other dog friends but if we'd listened to some of the clowns on these message boards he'd be dead. You know best what your dog needs, and I wish you luck -- it's a tough decision but it sounds like you are doing what is best for your pet.[/quote]
