[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The neuro surgery thing sounds like a guess. If the vet told her they would perform that surgery without doing diagnostic testing first then that sounds very unethical. More likely she couldn't or refused to pay for the diagnostic testing, and since the dog was suffering, the vet recommended to euthanize.

It's unlikely that this woman, and arguably many people except the top tier of society, would be able to pay for this dog's extensive medical care. I read the rescue's letter someone linked, and it says the dog required TWO surgeries and an MRI. At a private vet that would cost FAR MORE than $7k.

I am personally conflicted about putting a dog through that much medical care. It must have suffered terribly and been scared without its person. I know rescues do it because they are committed to saving every dog, but I have to question how much suffering it's ok to put an animal through.

I do think she made mistakes and I wouldn't adopt to her again if I were the rescue. It sounds like she did choose not to be with him when she left him to be put down, and I know there are people who make that decision but I think they shouldn't own pets.[/quote]

The rescue gave her a dog with serious medical issues and wouldn't help her.  They should not be a rescue and shut down.[/quote]

They did offer to help her. They told her that if she was not going to be with the dog when she put it down that they would take it back. They will always take back a dog they adopt out. She opted to not give it back to them, but instead chose to drop it at a shelter to be euthanized alone.

They also did not knowing adopt out a dog with medical issue. They spend a ridiculous amount of money on dogs they take in with medical issue and do not adopt them out until they have been treated and cleared. No rescue or even breeder knows what medical issues may arise. She even stated these issue showed up months after she adopted him. Again, every article stated that they told her they would take him back, but never heard from her again. [/quote]

When you pay the huge rescue fees you assume the dog is checked out and ok.  THEY LIED TO HER.  THEY should have helped her get the dog the medical attention.  The shelter policy is she could not be with the dog.  That seems to be the logical place to go.  That's where I might have gone (not now I wouldn't trust them).  [/quote]
