I have a few questions to the posters here and it is about rehoming my aussie John Doe.
I want to understand why there is so little response to that thread and I have some conclusions made up in my mind for that.
1. People don't like dogs, perfectly normal as the majority of people all over the world do not care about or like dogs.
2. People here are more "sensitive" to the call of adoption questions from streetdogs where you know nothing about the history of the dog then of a dog with a known history.
3. That leads me to my third conclusion : people are more willing to take the risk of taking in a stray dog with all the consequences in its future life then taking in a dog where you know what to expect from and therefore you can take your "precautions" with him.
4. People are more sensitive to that oh so poor poor stray dog that has not been eaten for a long time, has been beaten, is skinny and they feel themselves the rescuer of that poor four legged animal.
5. What happens with the straydog with no history, when he becomes violent or misbehaves in any situation ? Must I understand from this that its easier to throw a straydog who when fed well and is gaining again some confidence that its easier to throw him back on the street then taking in a dog who is very well taking care of from somebody who is "watching" his progress with his new owners?
6. I conclude nr. 5 because I have never heard of behavioural therapists for dogs in the DR so I must conclude that people or trying to fix the problems that such stray dogs will have, or either try to fix them themselves or either just give up and put the dog back on the street with the idea it was a stray dog, so he can survive again on the street.
These are just some of my own conclusions but feel free to try to convince me otherwise.
