Anyone ever have issues with a dog rescue?

And I would appreciate it ix you would die in a fire.

Listen to your vet.

Whoever runs the rescue is likely not a trained veterinarian themselves, and is not in charge of your pet anymore.

There are so many animals in horrid conditions out there that they could focus on instead of one that has gone to an obviously loving home.

Guess at this point you're going to have to give them the stern talk and let them know there are limits. Also get those people off your social media and refrain from posting anything about the dog where they might see it. Just freeze them out, they will find someone new to go pester.

Oh do be quiet, won't you? You sound like an angry idiot and frankly it's boring.

OP ?
have you gone down there face to face to ask them that question ?
was this bs included in their contractual agreement ?

and what CAN they do about it if you simply inform them via a written statement from the vet knowing YOUR dog, on the situation that what the professional states is above them ?
take yer arse to court ?
on what charges ???

these people are literally INSANE,stockpiling,warehousing,collecting animals, crying about how they need more space,refusing to be realistic on THEIR halfazzz policies and price$ on and on.

went over to the local privately run and well end0wed no-kill,they wanted intrusive info that stopped at my blood type,REFUSED to sell me 2 young adults i would have been so happy to bring home as mine because i objected to their intrusive bull shit questions on their internet system which also linked my emails --of course that's linked etc--my
volunteering PROOF on continuity of care,up to date vaccinating was worth NOTHING to these morans.
and these dogs have been inside w/them for months, long past their cute days and most likely languish there till death do they part.
Found a rancher w/a litter of blue heelers for sale,half the price that theee shelter wanted for a young dog,,saw and met the calm momma dawg, questions answered from the owner on vaccinations--any problems-nO-parents vaccinated but pups still tooo young--as they are very young but owner PROVED to me they are weaned--guys ate heartily from a clean pan/drank their water,rolled all around playfully --
so whose puppies get homed ???

these people w/their stockpiles of dogs going neurotic due to confinement are INSANE and there should be some accountability for this as well.
poor dogs......

What does the contract that you signed say? That is what you agreed to and you cannot win if they press the situation. contract trumps feelings (even when you're morally and/or ethically right.) :(

Good luck.

I find their behavior in general arrogant and overreaching

Unless something in the contract you signed specifies continued conversation I would shut them out.

The ones I have known were loony tunes

9.00 a hour lucky 11. good luck with that.

So I have a lot of experience in this area. I used to work in Animal Control. We had several crazy rescuers that ended up being hoarders.

The worst was a lady that ran a Husky rescue (which just so happens to be my favorite breed). I wanted to get a puppy. I met all qualifications, and she had a baby that I wanted to adopt. She told me that I met her requirements, but that she wouldn’t adopt the puppy to me. She was going to make me adopt this older dog. I told her no, I wanted a puppy. She tried to guilt trip me, and I stopped talking to her. I went and got a puppy somewhere else. So anyway, I figured she was a bitch, but that she must really love her dogs.

Well turns out she had over 500 dogs on her 1 acre property. Most were kept in cages, that were never cleaned. They were standing in their own filth and had urine burns on their legs. They were literally stacked on top of each other. Some were running lose, and some of them had distemper.

It was the worst case of animal cruelty I have ever seen.

We assisted the Humane Society with removing as many as we could. We were a small shelter and could only take in like 20. Some we took just to euthanize because they were so sick and in so much pain that it was cruel to let them suffer any longer.

At one point she started freaking out about us taking the dogs and the lady with the Humane Society told me to get the dogs we could and run. So I did. I grabbed 50 lb dogs that should’ve been a 100 lbs and ran with them under my arm, while other dogs tried to attack us.

I found several that we had personally sent to the rescue. We took most of them back, more than half we had to euthanize.

I used to sit in everyone of those dog’s cages, hugging them, telling them how happy I was that they were going to a rescue. To say it broke my heart is an understatement.

I have never in my life been so angry with a human being. Just thinking about that day makes me feel sick inside.

Your rescue lady sounds like a major control freak, which sets off huge alarm bells in my book. Maybe you need to make a call to an agency to make sure that she is taking care of them properly.

Sorry for the wall o text. Sensitive subject I guess.

At the very least, reread your contract. If there is nothing in it about her still having control after the adoption then tell her to fuck off. Send her the letter from the vet, and ghost her.

Absolutely absurd!!! This is harassment! I would tell her in a firm, yet classy way that she needs to stop the stalking and harrassment immediately or you'll be forced to take steps....I've had a dog rescue years....I've not ever behaved this way...at times I'll ask them how the animal is doing, but that's it....and only a day,week or two at tops...and what gives her the right to go against what your college educated, licensed vet suggested? This woman sounds like a damn psychopath. .....if it continues, contact the police and an attorney. Good luck...God bless you for choosing a rescue dog!

Made me sad :(

Damn, what a hideous experience. I'm sorry you went through this and yet I appreciate learning from your experience.

Omg!!!! She was protesting you taking and helping these poor animals?? Why in the holy hell was she not in fucking jail?????!!!!!!! I run my own rescue....here in n.e. rural alabama.

Agreed!

Thanks for telling us - I will be looking to adopt next year and I certainly don't want to support sickos like this lady .

I will beware of contracts and private shelters that seem to have too many dogs or unreasonable expectations

So sorry you took the brunt of her craziness

God Bless you and your pets and all efforts to warn pet adopters

POOR DOGGIES!

Unconscionable !

Me as well!

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Just catching up now!

Lol hahaha

All reasonable ideals! I just wish she would be more suggestive rather than assertive as if she has a say in how I raise my pup. If this continues after his neuter.. Gonna have to set things straight
