Sad doggieping.
Tell me he was adopted..please.
Turned out OK, on the way to adoption and care for spinal condition as per link. Blessing in disguise perhaps.
Actually, they don’t have the whole story.
The *owner* did not turn him in.
It was his son’s dog and the son *was in the military* and the dad got tired of tending to the old dog’s needs.
There was a huge effort to get the dog fostered until the son came home.
I know he was pulled from the shelter by a rescue group but I left that Dobermann forum over the crap that went on about the son.
I thought he should have his dog back because *he* loved him and had no idea his bastard dad had done that and too many members of the forum thought the dog should go to another person.
So, I left.
But he definitely was pulled from the shelter.
I watched this stuff go down “live” last year.
