[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dog was from a local rescue called Lost Dog & Cat (LDCRF). In response to the news story, they posted a detailed timeline about what happened: https://www.lostdogrescue.org/amoshart/

According to them, the owner contacted them about the sick puppy and they offered to take it back, and also advised that if she put it down, she should stay with the dog for the euthanasia. She didn't do either of those things. The county shelter she surrendered it to called LDCRF, presumably because either the owner or the tags said it originated with LDCRF. (The WaPo story reports that the shelter surrender form says it reserves the right to evaluate animals surrendered, and treat and adopt them out.)

I am curious how the news got this story, and why they didn't interview the vets who appear to have screwed up the diagnosis.[/quote]

[b]The shelter does not allow owners to stay with dogs while being euthanized[/b].  So, none of this makes sense.  The shelter and rescue should have contacted her. This is horrible for the dog to be bounced around like they are.[/quote]

She did not have to take it to the shelter at all, ever. If your beloved dog needs to be put down, you have your vet do it or you use a service that sends a vet to your house. You don't turn it over to the pound (although, that is what saved the dog's life).

As for the dog, it's 1.75 years old now and living in a foster home. The owner gave it up at 5 months old (i.e., over a year ago), after owning it just a few months. It likely doesn't remember her. [/quote]

Dogs can remember.  And, even so, this is horrific that if she gave him up at 5 months the dog has been in foster care/shelter/rescue for over a year and the only person that wants the dog is the real owner.  She should get him back.  She was mislead by many people.  This shelter and rescue are unethical.[/quote]
