Point 1
If you were taking in a rescue dogs to foster and then given the responsibility to vet potential adoptees, what information should be given out about the animal?
Point 2
The adoptee that returned the dog you picked up showed pictures of why they had to return the dog. Should that be divulged?
Point 3
The parent rescue organization that covers a 1/4 of the US put out "available for adoption" on their website with you as the contact. While they didn't specifically state the reason for the return, you can read between the lines.
What I did.
The people who have contacted about adopting have been completely informed of what happened and why. In my opinion, it's a simple fix.
The returnee is not happy that the reason that the dog was returned was not specifically stated in the new "for adoption" writeup.
Try to help and there is always some drama.
Tore up furniture while left alone and not crated.
Wouldn't that information condemn the prior adoptee as "not a responsible" owner?
He wants his destroyed furniture put out as proof of how bad the dog is.
Was trying to be nice.
Thanks
Don't need help.
Just amazes me how people assume animals don't need any training to adapt to the environment that they are suppose to function in.
I do exactly as you do. I disclose every little thing about the dog that I know of. Then if there are any issues, I recommend ways I would fix it. If the new adopters don't see it as a problem and its a good fit, then thats all I care about. The previous owner that gave the dog back is done and should have no input of how the rescue moves forward with re-adopting the dog out. I would be pretty blunt with them about it. Keep up the good work.
anyway, sorry didnt have much to add to the current conversation.

I think you did the right thing by not including the pictures of the furniture, but being willing to disclose any issues to those making inquiries.
The more information you give, the better the outcome will be. If you divulge that the dog needs to be crated when left alone then it's up to the adopter to follow those directions.
