And not all temperament tests or testers are created equal.
I was told by pound staff that Koli is good with other dogs. HA! She basically ignored them at the pound. I should have listened to my gut though when i seen how she reacted to a puppy there. "Oh she justs wants to play and is showing mothering instincts." My gut was saying otherwise. I NEVER would have agreed to take her in if her supporters had been told the truth or a competent version of it. It's been a long hard road of rehabilitation for her for everyone involved with her. (Well, she's been a near perfect angel for one of her foster homes.)

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
