Oh, I do that all the time and then I end up donating a bunch of money. I don't know why I torture myself.
Meh, I got my dog from the pound nine years ago. She was really quiet and tame. What I didn't understand at the time was that she had distemper. I had to nurse her through that stuff. It took weeks, trying to keep her fed and hydrated. I sent several emails to the pound that I adopted her from. Mostly just inquiries about whether or not any other dogs were infected. They were like "Hey it's OK, you can bring her back, we'll replace her".
Bastards wanted me to bring back the dog that I had been caring for so that they could put her down properly and keep their secrets. Turned out that a lot of dogs in that shelter were infected. I ended up sending some letters to the editor of the local paper. It was too late for some of those babies but others made it out alive
She's ended up being a real handful. Once she recovered she was unstoppable. She's also unbelievably protective. That's my dog you know.
