First let me say I'm not going to argue with anyone here. I am an animal rescuer. I work with a rescue in NC and we do great work! I don't appreciate everyone talking about these people as nutjobs. We work extremely hard to get these dogs into good homes & away from shelters & abusive situations. Most of the money we use comes out of our own pocket. We have no one on the payroll, no one gets a salary. All of the money comes from donations or out of our own pocket.

It sounds like you've done a wonderful job with both dogs except for leaving them unattended outside. And you did the right thing giving back the dog that was jumping up on your kids. Had you wanted to take the time to do so you could have trained & worked with the dog not to jump on your kids. But I can understand you may not have had the time to do so. But trying to bankrupt a rescue for the sheer pleasure of it because they gave you a hard time about the dogs they obviously have worked hard for & care a great deal about is ludricrous. Also if you didn't want to agree to the terms set down by the rescue then you should have returned both dogs instead of trying to bankrupt the rescue. You took these dogs according to whatever agreement you had with the rescue and you should abide by the terms you agreed to. I think you're wrong and you're being selfish. This is my statement about the situation and that's it.
