Yes we see this all the time, shelters, rescues, and even private breeders...some just aren't good candidates for pet homes...and not at all exclusive to GSDs or "power breeds" ...in their difficult and well intended efforts to save every single dog ....rescues and shelters..mostly rescues..often become part of the problem rather than a solution. I have nothing but repspect for rescues and individuals that do..God knows we have all done it.....we have one here now.she is a joy...but sometimes I think it is easy to become too emotionally involved and to lose sight of what realistic, vs trying to save all.
