Exhausted and short on options after consulting two veterinary clinics, Kristie Pereira made the gut-wrenching decision last year to take her desperately ill puppy to a Maryland shelter to be euthanized.
So she was stunned last week to find the dog up for adoption at the same pet rescue organization where she had gotten it.
…
Calls to the shelter confirmed that her dog had not been euthanized after veterinarians there didn’t think he needed to be. The shelter instead called Lost Dog & Cat Rescue and turned the puppy back over to them.
The rescue confirmed that Friday in a written statement, giving an extensive timeline showing that its veterinarians found no neurological issues with the dog. After tests diagnosing a liver problem and a $7,000 surgery — paid for through a GoFundMe campaign — the dog was declared healthy.

Correct because she was told by multiple parties to not do the surgery and euthanized. She followed vet, rescue, and shelter recommended advice - then the shelter fixed the dog and she's offering to pay for the surgery that she didn't know would save its life.
Also, I wasn't trying to be a dick. I apologize for the way I addressed you.
When she pays $7k, and the new owner agrees to give up the dog, she can have it back.
(Apology accepted😘)
Maybe you can apologize for being so rude without knowing what’s going on? They apologized to de-escalate but clearly you’re just going to use that as a reason to keep being a jerk
What do you think is going on that I’m missing?
The content of the fucking article, mr. smughead.
Everything I’ve said was accurate. She gave up her dog to be put down and a location that was not the clinic who gave her the medical report. While processing the dog, they probably had doubts about the reason and put it back up for adoption. Someone got the dog and had the medical procedure performed. Then the original woman saw the dog was up for adoption. There may be some timeline discrepancies, but I think I got it all there.
What am I missing?
The shelter diagnosed the liver thing, started a GoFundMe, treated the dog and then put it up for adoption instead of telling the grieving owner one wird about any of this. Instead of doing their fundraising, getting new owners and such, the previous owner said she would have happily paid for the procedure and taken her dog back home. That's what you are missing. It's really clearly written out in that article, so...
I think the troll has been well fed for a while now.
