Not to mention there are amateur dog-handlers like I was, walking her among other unknown possibly aggressive animals and passing in the halls and turf with possible kennel coughers and new intakes not clear for general population.
Trying not to, but I'm going on...and they feed Pedigree large bite mostly corn food which Emma will only eat to survive. (I'd eat it to survive too. LOL)
I'll guess many of you got your rescue from a better environment! I KNOW you did.

You're right, I could never bring them back there. My place was a different situation, they weren't in with the general population, I brought their own food and toys.

Thank God that place saw something in Emma and saved her.

Thirteen years ago I had a terrible house fire and lost two dogs and two cats and have been a bit MENTAL about the animals since (Y'think? LOL). For me the most dangerous place for them is home, very hard to process that. When I went out I would constantly call my fax line to see if my house was still there. Even now if I'm out and see fire trucks go by I freak out and have to go home and check to see if my house is okay. I totally understand all the anxiety.
