That could be true. When I found casey I took her out to the grassy area to see if we bonded...she was so shy I wasn't sure so I went to the spca....casey was at a high kill shelter.

Anyway me and my daughter could not stop thinking about her so we went back to get her. By that time a rescue had started paper work on her, I think she had been there 10 days and she was past her put to sleep date. Thank god they were not full and they felt that she was adoptable.

The rescue person handed me her forms and said you just need to pay for the tests I ordered. I got to talking to her and she says she goes around to the shelters and gets dogs before the shelter puts them to sleep and often the shelter calls them on a good tempered dog.

Still it is so scary to actually think about her being there. Your parents seem like softies....I bet you could change their minds.
