Everyone on this forum agrees that I am not a good owner for the dog and that the right thing to do is to return her. Thank you. I came to the forum for help and got a unanimous verdict. I will follow the advice. In my defense, I stated in my first post that I was obviously not the right owner for her. I hope she gets a better owner next time around. I know that we are not a good match. I know she came from a horrible situation. She deserves better than I could give her. Thanks to all. ---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ---------- This was not a breed rescue. It was a local animal control/contract shelter that also takes in owner surrenders. She was the only pitty on property at the time, but I know that they have adopted out others.
