[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of y’all can’t read. The shelter is a totally different thing than the rescue where she got the dog. Anyways, she sucks and hope she doesn’t get the dog back. [/quote]

She signed paperwork to be euthanized.  That is what the shelter said they'd do.  Instead they choose not to and handed the dog back to the rescue to resell.  The shelter should have contacted her and told her and said what would you like us to do we can save your dog.  Both acted unethically.  [/quote]

The paperwork said the shelter would treat and adopt out the dog if the shelter deemed that appropriate (source: Washington Post). She wasn't contacted because she gave up the dog. It's pretty reasonable for them to assume she'd taken all the vetrinary steps she was willing to. The fact her vets (two vets?) were wrong is terrible and if anything, that is the story - not the shelter/rescue.[/quote]

She did not exactly give up the dog.  She went to two vets who diagnosed the dog with a serious issue and either an expensive surgery and who knows if it would help or to euthanize.  She didn't know what to do, didn't have the money for the surgery (which sounds like it was wrong) and brought it to the shelter for advice/euthanized.  When they choose to have the vet look at the dog, which was appropriate as that vet was probably the one euthanizing, the vet said something else, cheaper surgery and dog was ok.  They should have contacted the owner immediately when they said the dog didn't need to be euthanized as that was what she agreed/signed for.[/quote]
