10-1-15 Hollie Hobbie returns to rescue, after 5.5 years in an adoptive home. Her before and after photos tell me a lot, with regards to how much exercise / attention she did NOT get. She weighs a whopping 71 pounds now, and should weigh probably half of that. She was dumped at a shelter, and told them to euthanize her, due to aggression. From what I gather, her so called "aggression" was chasing / nipping at people walking - running - biking down the railway trails behind her home.
The shelter said that they brought her into the shelter, and were trying to "shove" her into a crate in their intake room. When asked what they thought they were doing, they said she needed to be PTS. The shelter put her in the back room kennel, yet did not contact me until the next day by email only. The shelter did not have any instances of her misbehaving, she met everyone with a wagging tail, and also tried to play with a pup through the fencing. Since they did not see anything alarming, and because of the way the adopter talked and acted, the shelter decided to contact rescue.
Hollie Hobbie has gone for a few walks, which she enjoys. Rescue is not seeing a bad dog. The adopter had 5+ years to say something or ask for advice, instead of dumping her. (Contact is made by AuCaDo at Christmas time and Reunion time) She does not have a bite history. We are guessing her age around 6.5 years, since she was about a year old when we received her into rescue. When she loses her weight, she will hopefully look younger!
