Kristie Pereira said she’s tried to get Beau back after learning he was never euthanized but said the rescue organization she got him from has refused to rehome the dog with her.
Exhausted and short on options after consulting two veterinary clinics, Kristie Pereira made the gut-wrenching decision last year to take her desperately ill puppy to a Maryland shelter to be euthanized.
So she was stunned last week to find the dog up for adoption at the same pet rescue organization where she had gotten it.
…
Calls to the shelter confirmed that her dog had not been euthanized after veterinarians there didn’t think he needed to be. The shelter instead called Lost Dog & Cat Rescue and turned the puppy back over to them.
The rescue confirmed that Friday in a written statement, giving an extensive timeline showing that its veterinarians found no neurological issues with the dog. After tests diagnosing a liver problem and a $7,000 surgery — paid for through a GoFundMe campaign — the dog was declared healthy.
She didn’t want to pay for the surgery. Someone else did.
My. Dude.
You definitely didn’t read the article in it’s entirety, and it shows.
Not reading the article and being aggressively confidently incorrect is basically this guy’s MO
She can pay $7k and get the dog back.
You can pay $0 and read the article.
She offered exactly that, they refused. Hell, even to begin with she was willing to pay the $12,000 she was originally quoted, but was told there was a very slim chance that it would be successful and that euthanasia was the best course of action. The shelter even coached her into putting the dog down.
You really should read more before you run your mouth.
If she was willing to pay, why did she not? The shelter is crap clearly, but the place she took it to to put it down was another place who clearly felt different. It’s a different owner now. It’s up to them.
I know you’re not going to read the article, but you could at least read the comment you’re replying to, because it contains the answer to your question.
I read it. Not the comments. New owner owns the dog 🤷♂️

Correct because she was told by multiple parties to not do the surgery and euthanized. She followed vet, rescue, and shelter recommended advice - then the shelter fixed the dog and she’s offering to pay for the surgery that she didn’t know would save its life.
Also, I wasn’t trying to be a dick. I apologize for the way I addressed you.
When she pays $7k, and the new owner agrees to give up the dog, she can have it back.
(Apology accepted😘)
Maybe you can apologize for being so rude without knowing what’s going on? They apologized to de-escalate but clearly you’re just going to use that as a reason to keep being a jerk

The content of the fucking article, mr. smughead.

The shelter diagnosed the liver thing, started a GoFundMe, treated the dog and then put it up for adoption instead of telling the grieving owner one wird about any of this. Instead of doing their fundraising, getting new owners and such, the previous owner said she would have happily paid for the procedure and taken her dog back home. That’s what you are missing. It’s really clearly written out in that article, so…
I think the troll has been well fed for a while now.
You didn’t read the article and act smug nonetheless, my. Dude.
She can pay $7k and get the dog back.
No, she cant. RTFA
I’m convinced he’s just not literate enough to make it through a whole article with so many big boy words
It’s a (very obvious) troll, that’s all.
Because the new and rightful owner refused. As the should.
She didn’t want to pay for tests that she was told were unlikely to do any good anyway. She said she is willing to pay them back for the surgery.
RTFA.
Someone was.
