thinking about the dog we almost adopted earlier this year. she would be with us by now if that did go through. i'm still not sure i understand the logic behind what happened with that rescue, i try to be objective when thinking about it but being given crucial information at the last moment along with their final, negative, decision did sting.

point is, there's been no update to this dog's information on their website. still says that "other dogs are fine" when what we were told in that last email from them (and at no point before that!) was that she had apparently shown reactive and aggressive behavior towards other dogs at the shelter. and like, i dont get it. why withhold information like that but then give it at the last moment and turn down people because of it without giving them the option or time to think or talk about it?

im fine with not having adopted her, i want to say it's probably for the best because our initial plan was always to get a dog from a breeder and that's what we'll do. but i worry about how long she's going to stay in that environment. i mean, old (8yrs) overweight malinois with a last minute "oh hey btw she's aggressive!" surprise ? good luck finding a "good fit" for that.
