Dec 2015

mainly interested in placing dogs. We tried to get a dog for my mother, and although she seemed to do well in her foster home, she hated my father on sight and attempted to bite him several times, once successfully. The dog went back after three days and they asked us to describe the dog for future adoption. They weren't really interested in hearing anything negative. Notably, 9 months later the dog is still up for adoption. She's a nice looking dog, but I suspect my father isn't the first person she didn't like.
