This is a bad take my dude. I can assure you this an agonizing choice she needed to make and I'm sure her heart is broken. I've worked in rescue for a hot minute - I've seen this - it's not easy at all., for anyone involved.
I volunteered at a shelter for two years and it's definitely easy for some people (those that don't give a fuck about animals): I was volunteering there one day and this guy came in with a happy and healthy looking Samoyed and said "I want to have her put down, she bit my kid". Luckily the shelter refused to do so.
some people dude
She didn’t want to pay for the surgery. Someone else did.
My. Dude.
Correct because she was told by multiple parties to not do the surgery and euthanized. She followed vet, rescue, and shelter recommended advice - then the shelter fixed the dog and she's offering to pay for the surgery that she didn't know would save its life.
Also, I wasn't trying to be a dick. I apologize for the way I addressed you.
When she pays $7k, and the new owner agrees to give up the dog, she can have it back.
(Apology accepted😘)
Maybe you can apologize for being so rude without knowing what’s going on? They apologized to de-escalate but clearly you’re just going to use that as a reason to keep being a jerk
The content of the fucking article, mr. smughead.
The shelter diagnosed the liver thing, started a GoFundMe, treated the dog and then put it up for adoption instead of telling the grieving owner one wird about any of this. Instead of doing their fundraising, getting new owners and such, the previous owner said she would have happily paid for the procedure and taken her dog back home. That's what you are missing. It's really clearly written out in that article, so...
I think the troll has been well fed for a while now.
You didn't read the article and act smug nonetheless, my. Dude.
She can pay $7k and get the dog back.
No, she cant. RTFA
I'm convinced he's just not literate enough to make it through a whole article with so many big boy words
It’s a (very obvious) troll, that’s all.
Because the new and rightful owner refused. As the should.
You definitely didn't read the article in it's entirety, and it shows.
Not reading the article and being aggressively confidently incorrect is basically this guy's MO
She can pay $7k and get the dog back.
She offered exactly that, they refused. Hell, even to begin with she was willing to pay the $12,000 she was originally quoted, but was told there was a very slim chance that it would be successful and that euthanasia was the best course of action. The shelter even coached her into putting the dog down.
You really should read more before you run your mouth.
If she was willing to pay, why did she not? The shelter is crap clearly, but the place she took it to to put it down was another place who clearly felt different. It’s a different owner now. It’s up to them.
I know you're not going to read the article, but you could at least read the comment you're replying to, because it contains the answer to your question.
I read it. Not the comments. New owner owns the dog 🤷♂️
You can pay $0 and read the article.
She didn't want to pay for tests that she was told were unlikely to do any good anyway. She said she is willing to pay them back for the surgery.
RTFA.
Someone was.
