Pork Chop- agressive boxer at tricounty
- Thread starter tommyjones
- Start date
Where was he when you got him? Have you raised him from a pup, because it was my understanding that he was a rescue when he came to you?
You got rid of him. Mike and Bay got rid of him. So how come they're the bad guys and you get off scot free on this?
I missed the part where it was explained why PC was outside and not in a fence or on a leash.Can someone 'splain again?
The dog would blast past them and escape when they opened the door - that's how he got the Yorkie. And he'd pull and drag Bay Kat around when she'd try to walk him. Apparently he's quite a large dog.

He didn't get the yorkie. The owner of the yorkie yanked him up when PC darted out the front door. PC never attacked and if he really wanted to, he would have tried to get the yorkie while in the arms of its owner.

I think Catt and JWWB have every right to be upset. They worked hard to find what they thought was a good home for him. They only had him what, a month? Then they just dumped him at a kill shelter instead of contacting Catt or JWWB or a rescue. I don't think they're upset that it didn't work out, they're just upset at the lack of effort they made.

and i am sure that mike and bay are upset that they weren't told that this doghas aggression issues. It was obviously bad enough for them to take him to a shelter.
and as vrai and i have both pointed out, JWWB decided to give him away after he was her's for 2 years because of "personal reasons" but now she can magically take him back. thats kind of effed and all these rescue biathces would be all over her if she was anyone else.

The dog didn't wasn't aggressive when JWWB had him. Who knows what's going on in JWWB's life, but I'm sure she'd rather take him back than have him sit in the shelter and get euthanized.
I got him from Tri County. He was an owner surrender. There was no chance I could get the dog back to the original owners if it had not worked out. I would not have put up with an unruley dog for over two years if he had he acted like the way he did with Mike and Bay. He wasn't around a lot of different people so he was a total pain when I would have company over so I had to take him outside to meet the people. He is very dominate when it comes to "his home" and will let someone he doesn't know that. Once he knew the people there were okay, he was over hisself, which was about 5 to 10 minutes He has NEVER BITTEN anyone or hurt another dog or cat, when he lived with me. Frogs are another story as he liked to catch them, then try and eat them. Only to find his mouth full of foam
I was having help with placing him in a home, which was thought to be suitable. It didn't work out. There were other options rather than taking him back to Tri County. Let me just say that I am not getting off scot free on this. I have to listen to two children say how much they miss the dog and how they want to see him. He was not being placed because I had issues with him and his behavior. The placement is truely something I do not wish to air my dirty laundry for everyone under the sun to know.

thats all fine and well, just funny that you get a free pass, where as so many have been haranged by the same people attacking mike and bay for similar decisions.
and it sounds like, as much as you dont want to admit it, he had aggressions issues while at your house. if you did not fully disclose his temperment to the adopters, then only you are at fault for his perdicament.

Keeping a dog for a temporary time while a better home is being sought is called "fostering". I have "foster" dogs that while they aren't in an ideal situation as far as being an integral part of the family, they are healthy, safe and happy. I can't give them the time I would like to see each of them have but it's a far better situation than being left to die in the shelter. Oh, btw, I was the one that went to the shelter last night to get PC. I saw him calmly walk by rows of barking dogs. He let me put a collar and leash on him. He sat on command (although he did whine in protest). He allowed a complete stranger (me) "help" him into a strange SUV. He put his front feet up and had to lift his backside. I have never seen him before this and he never showed any aggression towards me.
I'm sure what Bay and Mike experienced with him going out the front door did happen and I'm sure it did look scary due to his size. It's scary when ANY dog that you don't know is running towards you. My dogs could/would bolt out before they were trained. I'm sure he could knock someone down. My 40 pound border collie mix took my feet out from under me when he ran into me broadside and I wasn't expecting him. Doesn't matter how often Catt or anyone says it it doesn't seem that people are grasping it, they were not upset that it didn't work out. They were upset that they weren't notified. Period!

Oh for crap sake, she has yet to say PC had ANY aggression issues. She has probably stated this at least 10 times. Just because YOU had a bad experience with a rescue dog killing your cat does NOT mean all rescue dogs are bad and have aggressive/out-to-get-blood issues. JWWB and Catt are not the people that gave you your dog that killed your cat - you are barking up the wrong tree. I feel badly for your experience but not all rescuers are liars as you keep implying with JWWB and Catt.
I unable to keep him for a long period of time. Right now I am have him for the rescue.
Unlike some people who put all of their personal issues on the boards for all to see doesn't mean I must do the same.
But, just out of curiosity, are your parents siblings?
My parents must be siblings, too, because I agree with him.
There's probably a reason why Tri-County wants the animal back if it doesn't work out. I suspect the reason is so they can interview potential owners and make sure the home will be suitable and the people will know what they're getting into.
JWWB ignored that, and obviously didn't prepare Mike and Bay for life with a Boxer, otherwise they would have thought his rowdy crazed behavior was nothing out of the ordinary. Based on what they've said, they had no real idea that this is just the way Boxers act and they need a firm hand when it comes to discipline.
I'm sure the dog was no problem for Catt - she's used to it and knows what to expect, and how to handle it. But this is partially JWWB's fault because she disregarded the instructions Tri-County gave her when she got the dog in the first place. Had she either done what she was supposed to, or fully disclosed the dog's disposition, the dog would be placed with a more suitable family by now and all would be fine.
So it's wrong to jump on Mike and Bay for not contacting Catt/JWWB when they wanted to get rid of the dog, but give JWWB a pass for doing the *exact* same thing.
