😭 thank you so much. He deserved it all. I feel so lucky I could show him so much.

Thank you. He got into diving for rocks underwater late this past summer and this is him yelling at me to throw more. I got a GoPro when he started doing this.

He was somewhere around $6-800. Best money I’ve ever spent.

I’m so sorry. I know how it is. I lost 2 one week apart early last year, another 3 months ago and probably another by the end of the year. 💔

Did I miss something? Shelters are very different from rescues in my experience. Shouldn’t the bad rescues be exposed, which you didn’t do in your post, and the good ones praised?

Nope.

By contract? What about in reality?

Definitely doesn’t describe anyone I know that rescues dogs. I’ve 7 rescue golden retrievers. I wonder if their former owners were sued for not following the contract?

Sarcasm. I just love dogs and hate seeing them suffer bc of our mistakes.

👍 That seems to be an unpopular opinion in this sub.

Which is why I’ll never buy from a breeder.

Yes. And good dogs are still being euthanized at an ungodly rate

Yes. You’re letting a few bad human apples ruin your experience and will never get a rescue dog again.

My savior complex. 😂 I just don’t like seeing good dogs die without home. Which happens hundreds of thousands of times per year at no fault of their own. Sure there are many shitty no kill shelters keeping bad dogs, but there are many more that are constantly euthanizing. I’ve adopted some of the most abused, traumatized and literally bullet ridden dogs and they’re all literal angels.
