In the process of adopting a dog….

We aren't adopting her for 3 reasons.

#1 - Her separation anxiety isn't normal. It only applies to ME....so when I leave she gets upset, cries, and chews stuff up. Even when the rest of the family is there. That won't work....

#2 - She is not being very good at the dog park. She is nipping a lot of the other dogs too hard and causing a problem. I've tried to train her out of it my she isn't getting the message. I end up having to leash her a lot.

#3 - She is very unpredictable with the cats. Sometimes she is very good and just ignores her, and other times she'll chase them...and not like Talie used to do. She scares them so bad that they jump on the counters and knock stuff off!

She was an AWESOME dog other than that. Whoever adopts her is a LUCKY person. ❤️

We brought her back a little while ago.
Didn’t you only have her for like a day or two? It takes time for them to settle in, more like weeks or months, they don’t come perfect... also why does she need to go to the dog park? Not every dog is a dog park dog and that’s fine! Hopefully Tallies brother will work better though. Good luck!
 
He was at the shelter. He got surrendered by the family who got him as a pup. I guess they weren't a good family...but they said they dropped him off because he was not getting along with the cats. Apparently they left his food out all day and the cats were eating it, which made him upset, and when he came back to the shelter he was super thin.

He also wasn't trained AT ALL. He doesn't even know "sit".
That's shameful I don't understand why anyone gets an animal to just not take care of them I just don't get it my 2beagles were 20lbs+ underweight when I got them

We've been visiting her at the shelter and walking her for a while and we took her home for over a week. In all it was almost a month. I could tell it wasn't going to work.

Visiting at the shelter isn’t really the same as being in a home though because they’re still in the shelter environment which is very stressful for dogs and can change behaviors. But I’m sure you know more spending time with her but just saying in general but yeah. It takes a long time but hopefully this one will go better.

It's sad that shelters adopt out dogs to people who can't even train them.

I'm sorry to hear you couldn't keep Gwen. Her separation anxiety with one person doesn't surprise me. I've seen it in two adult rescues. I don't know but I assume it's more common in adult or near adult dogs.
