Did your friend take the Dog to a vet? Once you adopt a Dog it becomes your responsibility. That includes any and all health problems that your Dog may have or will have. I really don't think she should expect her money back. |

When you get a Dog from the shelter, there are no health guarantees. I adopted a Dog from my local shelter who discovered had Parvo within a few days after bringing her home. I didn't expect the shelter to take her back, return my money, or pay for her medical bills. That's not their business. |

It is sad and I feel for your friend. If I were her I would take my vet paperwork in to the shelter and prove to them that I tried to save the Dog and get a note from the vet saying there was nothing they could do for the dog. Then ask the shelter if they would wave the adoption fee on another dog. After all your friends goal is to save a life and have a loving friend, they may respond better to that. |

This is the sort of bad publicity that absolutely would prevent dogs from being adopted. Who wants to go through this pain and suffering. Sure there are no guarantees but give me a break. The shelter should replace the Dog free of charge. Your friend sounds like a caring person that wants to give a homeless Dog love and a good home. If the shelter does not give the money back I would take it a step further and ask for management or take this matter to the newspaper. They can't afford bad publicity. My suggestion to your friend if they won't give her money back have her tell them she'll go either to the radio station, newspaper or local tv station and report this stating all she was trying to do in good faith is give a pup a decent home and got a sick dog. This shelter will be lucky if anyone goes there to adopt after this. I bet they have a change of heart and give her another dog. Do you think it isn't emotional having a little puppy die on you and you can't save him or are you without a heart?

Bowser, maybe you should wait for the whole story before jumping to conclusions.
First of all you dont even know what was wrong with the puppy.
You dont even know if they got medical treatment or if they waited a extended period of time.
You have no real information about this.
Your are real quick to say "This is the sort of bad publicity that absolutely would prevent dogs from being adopted. Who wants to go through this pain and suffering. "
But yet you are ready to run to the media.
Maybe you should wait for some crystal clear facts. And while you are doing that, keep in mind that this story is being retold by a third party. |

Do you no more to this story than a I do? I am responding to what she said. I am not reading anything between the lines or making any stories up. She said the puppy was sick from the get go. Why do you argue now that this is not true. Noone is jumping to conclusions the writer said the puppy was sick and seizuring from day one. Does this sound like a healthy Dog to you? She should make a stink if this is what happened. You better believe I'd go to the newspapers and tv and radio station. They should close that shelter down adopting sick dogs out.

Right on cue Bowser.
Your absolutely right Bowser. You always are. Your right about everything.
I never agrgued that the Dog wasnt sick or didnt have a problem. Please get your facts right.
They definately should call the media, infact, maybe you should do it for them.
You could explain the whole story and how it went down. I'm sure you would do a much better job of depicting the story. But dont forget to quote the third person who came here and told the foggy details.
You could explain the dogs condition, and tell them that they got proper medical treatment after adopting the dog.
You could also go into details about the contract they signed with the shelter when adopting this dog. You could also go into details about the policies of the shelter because you know them so well. Do be sure to tell the media everything you know about this...it shouldnt take you very long.
I'm sure that you will also be able to vouch for the people who adopted the Dog too.
I bet if you put alot of thought into this, I am sure that you would also conclude that it was the shelters fault that the puppy died too.
Maybe it was the vaccinations...or better yet, maybe it was the food they were giving to it.
"She should make a stink if this is what happened. "
IF this happened. You also need to remember that you dont know why this happened. And it doesnt look like the OP has an answer either.
Why not sue the vet who couldnt do anything for the pups mystery condition too.
Maybe someone fed it kidney beans.
Maybe you should call the FDA too? |

Hey child, if the FDA would bring that poor pup back I sure would. What I don't understand Skiveez is why people don't step in here and stand up for what is right what a bunch of whimps. A person looses their Dog and you defend the animal control shelter what do you do for a living work for them? You know what people like you make me sick with their smart remarks talking about kidney beans in conjunction with a death of a innocent pup blaming the poor girl that adopted him like its all her fault she got a sick seizuring pup.

Bowser, I was not defending the shelter. I was simply stating that you do not have the whole story and once again you are jumping the gun. Get your facts correct.
I'm sure I do make you sick. Thats why you keep coming back here as soon as the bus stops. I'm not offended by the name calling. But once again, bowser doesnt have her facts right. You always bring insufficient information to the table, stuff that is really old, information that cant be supported, and stuff that cant be found. FACTS, FACTS, FACT, PLEASE!!!!
Infact you have no facts. The OP provided insufficient information.
Bowser...the kidney bean comment went right over your head, as alot seems to. I was sure you would catch that one. But it looks like I over estimated the situation.
I have little concern for what you think of me. But regardless of that, you have missed the point. You still dont have all the facts of the situation.
Who is to say that they didnt wait a month to have the pup looked at by a vet?
Who is to say that they didnt refuse trying to find the cause of the problem?
Who is to say that the reason the vet couldnt help them wasnt beacause they didnt want to spend the money on the tests to determine a cause?
Who is to say that the vet didnt give them instructions to follow, and they failed to do it?
Who's to say the shelter didnt tell them there was a medical condition?
Who is to say? You surely arent. You were not there.
You do not know.
So again, maybe you should have waited and asked more questions before you jumped on the 'lets make a big deal out of this band wagon'. |
