Case 1 was the one where the Spitz had been thrown out by the neighbour and this lady was trying to get help for the poor dog. She just rang me an hour ago to say she had failed to catch the dog (her plan was to catch it and get PAWS to collect). However, she says there is another family down the road who is interested to adopt this dog and has been feeding it for a week now. But the dog is still not friendly to them.
I said it might take a little longer, but let them continue feeding and hopefully the dog will take to them and all’s well that ends well.
However, this lady said she would prefer to surrender the dog to the SPCA for a medical check-up and treatment, then ask the family to go adopt the dog from the SPCA.
???
I strongly discouraged her from doing that. I said I would suggest to let the family down the road continue feeding the dog, make friends, and let them adopt the dog. They can then send it for medical treatment, if any is needed.
Won’t you agree?
Catching the dog (and who is going to catch it?), sending it to the SPCA and adopting it back – sounds like a merry-go-round. The dog is currently in a familiar neighbourhood and does not seem to be in any immediate danger, so why relocate it and created more stress for it? It’s already getting food daily from the family down the road.
Spitz dogs may have a tendency to be a bit snappy, so it might take awhile before they trust the family and be friendlier to them.
For that matter, Cow still bites if we annoy him, and he has been with us for 6 years now, rescued at birth! It is sometimes the character of the animal. Cleo also doesn’t tolerate any nonsense from anyone. She bites, too. And she’s our only bumiputra, born in Ming-Yi’s wardrobe. Like uncle, like niece!
