My wife and I had been approved by a couple of rescue groups for a dog and they then backed out or just gave the dog to someone else. We were so frustrated that we gave up on rescue groups. By chance a BC was dumped at the township shelter we volunteer at. He was abused, emaciated and had tapeworms. He is still aggressive toward men. We continue to have him trained by a BC specialist. Our two acres of property border hundreds of acres of state watershed and I am in the woods with him every day after school. I have him in "doggie day care" twice a week for socialization. My point is we provide a wonderful home for him. He is treated like a king and returns it in kind to me. We were refused by rescue groups and we have given him a wonderful life. I'm looking for another rescue and anticipate the same treatment. I appreciate what others have gone through and in many cases I think people in these groups have a problem letting go.
