I know a couple that broke up , they got a dog from a pet store when they where together . The puppy was not being trained at all and I suggested getting it trained as the puppy was not responding to any commands. The guy got pissed off at me, to make a long story , the dog never got trained and now either one has the time to work with the poor dog and the guy is putting the poor dog in a shelter!! I was feeling bad for the woman but when I heard about the happening to the dog I feel the worst for her! The poor dog did nothing wrong , I am so upset has dog has really bad separation anxiety! Some people just should not have pets! I do not know anyone that would want the dog.
 
That happens a lot when people buy a pet on a whim and don't really have time for it.

Many pets end up in shelters for just that reason. It's very sad. And it is harder to get homes for the poorly socialized dogs.
 
It's tragic when that happens.

Just no known cure for stupidity, that's all there is to it. I wonder if they realize their dog will likely be dead within 72 hours, if it's a typical high-kill shelter. They sound like the kind of people who wouldn't care, unfortunately.
 
What breed of dog? If there's a breed rescue group in your area, you can notify the breed rescue group. Those groups usually have people who will foster the dogs and get the dogs back on the right track.

72-hours policy... it's usually for stray dogs or unclaimed dogs but not surrendered.

All I can hope for is an experienced foster mom/dad to break dog's social shell. Foster homes usually have at least 2 dogs or more. If the dog passes a simple aggression test, a socially-inept dog will be placed in foster home and then he will become a good home dog for anybody and foster mom/dad will observe his behavior and put it in note for his dislike/tendencies.

Luckily our rescue league here does use foster homes and tries to get a home for every pet.

I have no way of calling the guy I do not know his last name and if I did he would not listen to me! He did not listen to the dog trainer he used , the guy is a sexist pig and does not respect women . That is good idea you have. I do not think anyone involved want to talk to the guy! I just hope the dog will be OK! I know the woman is not going about to call him!

I was told the dog was going to a no kill shelter , I hope this true. But she has
separation anxiety and that can really do a dog in. A friend boarded her dog over night and dog had separation anxiety and kept on jumping up and down for hours and gave itself a heart attack! This could happen this dog too. I agree there is no known cure for stupidity, and these people where really stupid to rush out and get the first dog they saw because they lost their other dog.

there is no cure but it can be fixed. He just needs to relearn it from experienced trainer. I don't handle that kind of case. I'm more experienced with aggressive dogs.
 
Hmmm....where do you live, and where does Frisky Feline live? She was thinking about looking for a dog...

emotionally-unstable dog is not recommended for inexperienced people.

Jiro, I meant no known cure for the stupidity of the OWNERS, not the dog.

Although I agree that with patience and a bit of luck, the dog can be retrained. Separation anxiety is a tough one to work with, but it can be done. Or else home the dog with a nice retired couple who are home most of the day. That helps, too.

The dog is was not trained to heel, I think it a golden retriever and weight about 70 lbs or more. The guy would drag the poor dog on her leash!
 
Oh dear. A large, unsocialized, untrained dog. That is really not good.

On the other hand, people do just love Goldens, so maybe the right person will find this dog. Goldens also have a lot of breed rescue clubs, too, so maybe some group will snatch this dog out of the shelter and foster it.

Really! that is not good! terrible wow!!!
 
Some people don't realize that adopting a dog/cat whatever animal is just like adopting a child.... your promising love to that animal, protect, feed, teach,befriend it and I swear once you do you'll have the best friend you could ever ask for.

Unfortunately, some people don't see it that way.

Some people looks to animals as if their trophies, pretty neat at first but old, dusty and left behind later. They don't realize they just SAVED a life.

I couldn't give my kitties away, and even if I had to I would avoid the shelter at all cost. But why set yourself up to a animal you don't want?
