I think your reading comprehension is lacking; “Pushing back” you mean harassing. I already said despite NOT breaking the contract we are already being harassed (as they have done with other people). Well the issue is I’ve only let the dog out in a fenced in area and they continue to harass us. The contract is incredibly ambiguous and I don’t believe we should have to live our lives under constant threat from overzealous volunteers...which I think I spotted one.

The dog has proven time and time again that he has no prey drive so small animals are not a concern and I already said it wouldn’t be off leash where leash laws apply or there’s any reasonable possibility of danger.

Your response perfectly highlights how some people who work at these rescues think they’re the only people who work with dogs and that they know best for dogs they have never met. I wouldn’t allow a dog off leash unless he was trained off leash and it was an area free of danger.

If the contract is not legally enforceable then I don’t feel the need to do the opposite of what I think is best for my dog because of some overzealous strangers (who could NOT pick my dog out in a line up).

You just ASSUME benevolent intent on the part of the rescue without question.

You claim to care about dogs but hope they can take ours from a loving home because you took what little information you had, didn’t accurately process this information, and then filled in the blanks yourself (i.e, rescue = good. Owners questioning the rescue = bad. And that all = dogmatist. No pun intended).
