I do want to save all we can but when they are so agressive and the temperament is so very bad there is only one answer. We need to deal with those that need us and are looking for a home and are basically sound once we get them relocated. We cannot and should not try to save them all. Those with bad temperaments need to make room for those we can find homes for. Sandi Card Amen...and while we are at it, I am appalled at the requests of thousands of dollars (the most recent request for $7,000 - $14,000 for ONE dog) for hip surgery for rescue dogs. Good Lord, put them down, and use the money to help dozens of dogs who will make sound happy pets for many people. All cannot, and should not, be saved.
