I’m a big believer in adopting/rescuing dogs. Every dog we have ever had We rescued from a shelter. I already stated that the majority of medium to larger dogs in need of a home in our area, have some form of Bully breed in them. They are the dog of choice for bad folks, but that also means there is an abundance of them on the streets as strays. Many are euthanized. Many are deemed to be great dogs with the right owner. All dogs were rescued from organizations that foster the dogs first and who demand you return the dog to them if you no longer wish to have them. There are no breed restrictions where I live.
My daughter rescued a dog categorized as a Boston mix. Was short and built like a Boston. And had been horribly cared for. Not that it is any of your business, but her psychologist signed off on the dog as an emotional support animal at the same time she went off of anxiety meds. It was a great prescription for her and she thrived at school, living on campus, with her baby. It was only after she nursed the dog back to health and it gained 15 pounds of muscle, did we realize she may not be a Boston. Legally, there is nothing you can do to take away my daughters dog now. As long as her baby is not a threat to others. Her baby spends several days a week at doggy day care, in open pens playing with other dogs. Never a problem. When she boards the dog, the owners let my daughters dog run around with the owners dog in the shop. Her dog was taken to stress relief events on her campus and kids always stopped to talk to her pup and scratch her behind her ears. My daughter adopted her as a Boston mix. She nursed her back to health. She took the dog to obedience school. She is an amazing, responsible dog owner. She has a prescription for the dog and all of the dogs records say Boston. I do not, and my daughter especially (she is an adult) does not have to put the scarlet letter of “pit bull” on her dog when she goes out. She can not be denied housing because of the breed. She has a note to fly with the dog, but would only do that in case of emergency. (I do think the emotional support animal on planes is overused) Not all “pit bulls” need to be put down.
Having read this post several times, I state that I believe that you (and your adult daughter) are practicing an ongoing deception, of yourselves first, and also upon the public.
As you are posting about what you have done, you have just informed many persons you don’t know about the risks to which you have exposed them by your actions.
Is this wise?
