[NAGDU] Shulamith is back

[Cindy Ray]

Oh, poor Shulamith. That is so sad. I want to hug her, I really do. I'd bet
she was kind of confused and glad to see you.
TSE used to adopt out dogs that washed and people would do this; they began
to charge a rather exorbitant price for them and had a matching department,
the way I understand it, very similar to that which they have for students.
Obviously you cannot do that though.
Hugs,

Subject: [NAGDU] Shulamith is back

Shulamith was returned to me this morning. The guy just showed up on my door
step with out even calling ahead. He was aware of the dog's issues when he
agreed to take her. He agreed to get some professional training for her
aggression issues with other dogs. I gave him several collars and a halti
with the dog. He refused to use the halti on her. He bought a harness made
of some kind of string type material. I am surprised that she didn't brake
it . He said she pulled him down. I had explained to him before he took the
dog,what a halti is used for and how to use it. He refused to use it. I told
him, if you have control of the dog's head,you have control of the dog. He
had absolutely no control of the dog with that harness and that is why she
pulled him down. He knew she was a strong dog. He also knew that she was not
service dog trained,and in fact,was washed out of guide dog training. He
said he wanted her for a companion dog. I just hate dealing with people like
that.They think they know every thing and can handle any dog.All the
information and tips I gave him fell on deaf ears.He could have called me
for help with her at any time. So now the dog has been abandoned by another
person in her life,which isn't helping at all.He never contacted a trainer
to help him with her,which he promised to do.Now I not only have to find
some one out there who will give Shulamith what she
needs,love,understanding,patience and professional training,but I am out 2
expensive collars and stuck with a piece of junk harness. I am sorry for my
rant but I am livid over this. People like this guy don't deserve to have a
dog. He put on a good show. He said he would do any thing for her so she
could be his companion.  This dog is wonderful with people,just not other
dogs. He kneww all this.I just hate dealing with people like this. They want
that perfect dog out of a rescue and it just doesn't happen that way.
It takes some work on the part of the person. I just hope I can find that
right person for Shulamith. She deserves that. I am done ranting now. At
least she did not end up as a fake service dog.    Mardi
