I commend the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and other organizations on the recent rescue effort involving 40 dogs from one owner in Marana.
I adopted a dog from this pack. Despite severe trauma, he has a beautiful temperament. But he has severe physical issues not reported in his adoption record,
Much stress and two vet appointments later (still no prognosis), I’ve spent nearly $1,000. The Humane Society gave me only one option: to surrender him back to the shelter, a very cruel thing to do to an already-traumatized dog.
I’m retired due to disability. Today I had to resort to establishing a GoFundMe account.
Adoption is a risk. Still, I believe the Humane Society has an ethical obligation to ensure animals are in good condition, as stated in the article.
I advise others to be very careful in their adoption choice. I appeal to the Humane Society to do the right thing.
