Especially if the shelter was already close to capacity and overworked. An ugly answer could be that they wanted the publicity and donations a case like this would attract. Normally, I think, a shelter would release to a breed specific rescue. Leap at the opportunity, really.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-18560117720266021422012-08-04T22:43:06.896-04:002012-08-04T22:43:06.896-04:00Tough situation.

That seems like the correct placement for those dogs. Is it politics or did the Dob rescue not want them? I know with Chessies, they are routinely turned over to the Chessie rescues by shelters, especially when you have a situation with multiple dogs in a home.2browndawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792375606466389228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-31813045376366374102012-07-28T22:42:58.200-04:002012-07-28T22:42:58.200-04:00Yes, it would be terrible if these dogs were adopt...Yes, it would be terrible if these dogs were adopted by people who got caught up in the "OMG rescue dog!" fervor (which isn't BAD), but who aren't Doberman experienced and don't know what to expect from a working breed, in addition to whatever baggage they pick up from having been in a place like this. There might be no baggage; some dogs are Teflon.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-29054818003860321052012-07-28T22:41:43.661-04:002012-07-28T22:41:43.661-04:00Me too, Bongo!
