I'm sending a letter... I really want to help this good girl. I know she can still be trained well but it seems the obeasts try to lengthen her stay with them. They even made up some bullshit excuse about going to see vets because "she grew up too fast and look at her legs" but that is... like.. normal for this breed. Not to mention, the vet gave them a waiting time for 3 weeks... So yeah... Secretly hoping I can take her home anyway. There is too many "dominance issues" dogs around and it breaks my heart a bit when you see the age, and the type of dog and you know it's just piss-poor training. My partner and me have set our mind on a local type of breed that is highly intelligent just the same, but it feels wrong to just drop this pup and have it go to shit at a sleazy home. She looks gorgeous, no way that only people who take dogs seriously will reply to her. Good on you for getting the lab! Maybe she got abused? Had a golden that looked really okay (also at 2 years... Seems they're no longer cute pups then and need discipline, eh), but proved to have major anxiety issues and got abused a lot. Took him well over a month to get some callouses on his paws (they were soft as a baby's and bled so, so much since he loved to run), and then he was the most intelligent, loving dog I have met so far. He was my best friend for many years and had a great life wandering around on the farm I lived on. Got him as a pal for my mom's escaping New Foundlander, and then they ended up going on adventures together - oops.  Give your girl a hug for me and tell her she's pretty!
