[quote=Anonymous]One thing people can do, is call "shelters" and "rescues" out, when they try to release dogs like this into our communities. (I tried, but I can't comment on their page anymore for some reason...  :roll: )

I know this is a dog in WV, but this happens all over the country, and is becoming so common. First, the rescue outright lies about the breed. The only beagle in this dog is the one it ate, it is so clearly a pitbull mix/bully breed. Of course admitting so would limit potential adopters' interest. The shelter has had this dog for 304 days, and according to them, this dog has been failed by "6 different potential homes, had very few meet and greets, and has been at one other rescue to network her further" but they can't find a place for her. That is because there is no safe home for a dog like this!! The only people that can work with this dog are professional trainers, and even they don't want a project like this animal. The dog "struggles with seeking attention, becoming possessive with her person, which leads to mouthing, and with meeting new people." This is not protective or positive attention seeking, this is a predecessor to aggressive behavior. That is insanely dangerous to all but the most experienced homes!! The dog prefers

"- Women (not a fan at all of men)
- Another playful dog in the home
- Muzzle advocate
- Structured routine
- Lots of treats, she's extremely food motivated
- No small animals
- Children 18 years or older"

So when she slips out the door accidentally one day, without her muzzle on, is she going to maul a man walking down the street? Is she going to kill or maim a child in the park, because the kid approaches the owner she is "possessive over"? Is she going to rush out the front door to kill the little elderly poodle that the old man is walking down the street? Whoever "adopts" this dog is going to have to dedicate their life to keeping their neighbors safe and the dog contained, and will slip up because they are human. There is no home that is so isolated from men, children, and small animals that can provide this dog with the freedom to run and be a dog, while at the same time guaranteeing the safety of those living nearby. Someone will get hurt, this is a zero mistake animal. [/quote]
