Exhausted and short on options after consulting two veterinary clinics, Kristie Pereira made the gut-wrenching decision last year to take her desperately ill puppy to a Maryland shelter to be euthanized.
So she was stunned last week to find the dog up for adoption at the same pet rescue organization where she had gotten it.
…
Calls to the shelter confirmed that her dog had not been euthanized after veterinarians there didn’t think he needed to be. The shelter instead called Lost Dog & Cat Rescue and turned the puppy back over to them.
The rescue confirmed that Friday in a written statement, giving an extensive timeline showing that its veterinarians found no neurological issues with the dog. After tests diagnosing a liver problem and a $7,000 surgery — paid for through a GoFundMe campaign — the dog was declared healthy.
You're viewing part of a thread.
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 are acting like a fucking moron.
