从加利福尼亚带到华盛顿带了危险的狗
在周末 塔科马新闻论坛报 跑了一个故事 a local dog 拯救 group accused of adopting out 危险的 dogs 从加利福尼亚带到华盛顿。
群组， PURRR救援, was started as a cat 拯救 group but switched to dogs in 2004 after its founder died 和 Diana VanDusen took it over.
论坛报指出，South Sound动物控制官员与VanDusen发生了几次冲突。
去年夏天他们处理了“去年夏天，她收养的狗犯下了一系列致命的宠物侮辱。”
PURRR从加利福尼亚带走了三只涉嫌受伤的狗。
他们收养狗的速度越快，他们提起另一只狗出售的速度就越快。
举起许多红旗
我不’t know whether PURRR does this or not; however, in my opinion, the Tribune 文章 validates concern that some of the dogs PURRR is adopting out are 危险的 . Furthermore, they make me question whether or not the organization is a viable, trustworthy dog 拯救 group.
这里 are the things in the 文章 that raised red flags for me:
戴安娜·范杜森（Diana VanDusen）和她在华盛顿麦肯纳（McKenna）的一个秘密地点拥有约三十二只狗。 Drew Perine的照片，在塔科马新闻论坛上
1.多个司法管辖区和机构在P.U.R.R.R.
The 人文社会 for Tacoma 和 Pierce County 和 都市动物服务 在Puyallup“不会释放动物给她。” 主任说“she’s in over her head.”
莱克伍德市拒绝了她的营业执照申请 因为允许她继续收养狗可能会“危害公共健康，安全和福利。”
莱克伍德动物控制局官员正在调查去年夏天的一次袭击事件，他说范杜森在调查中告诉他’d had the dog “assessed 通过 a dog trainer who determined the dog was 可采用的 .”但是教练告诉他， “我从未见过这只狗。”
塔科马动物控制局两次访问了该物业。该机构十月份给她写了一封信，说 “她需要给动物许可。”
2.去年夏天收养/养育了三只狗的家庭都说 范杜森女士从未告诉过他们这些狗是好斗的。
3. VanDusen女士告诉论坛报， “她养了太多狗，无法放下。” She has about 37 dogs at a leased location in McKenna. Small 拯救s cannot properly care for that many dogs.
Even larger 拯救s 拯救s with tons of money, staff 和 volunteers don’没有那么多的狗。西雅图人道协会目前在其网站上有22条可收养的狗。伍德丁维尔的归巢宠物有9个。塔科马/皮尔斯县人道协会有20个。
4.她收费 天文收养费。 Most 拯救s 和 她lters charge $100-$300 和 a bit more for puppies since they are in higher demand. P.U.R.R.R. charges 成年狗$ 450，小狗$ 800， which is more than some 繁殖者 charge for a purebred puppy.
A well-run 拯救 or 她lter doesn’在接近这些金额的任何地方收取收养费。 The Seattle 人文社会 一只小狗只收$ 250- $ 275，成年狗只收$ 199。 西雅图动物收容所 收费$ 175- $ 210。 诺亚 6个月以下的狗只收费150美元，幼犬收费350美元。
5. 她收养了太多狗，无法进行适当的行为/医学评估 在他们。 VanDusen女士在文章中估算，她在2013年找到了500只狗的家。’s a little over 40 dogs a month. 我不’认为一个人的手术可能有时间评估40只狗的行为和健康状况。
相比之下，拥有更多资源的西雅图动物收容所在2012年收养了507只狗。
Patti Angeliz，创始人 瓦尔哈拉救援 在温洛克， 告诉我，“I can’t speak for every 拯救, but it is standard policy in the veterinary world 和 our 拯救 to hold dogs for 7 to 10 days, in isolation, 确保他们没有传染病，例如细小病毒或瘟热。我们还利用这段时间来确保他们没有球虫，贾第虫或任何其他寄生虫。”
她补充说，“声称他们每年收养500名 太夸张了，或者他们没有’做家庭或参考检查.”
6. 她对狗不承担任何责任 after they are adopted. Reputable 拯救s will take back their dogs if an adoption doesn’锻炼。去年夏天，她告诉《论坛报》， “领养犬后，它们便成为主人的责任。”
7.提起的投诉 半岛宠物旅馆 说范·杜森女士寄给他们的狗表现出被忽视的迹象，例如 “消瘦，营养不良以及需要跳蚤和蠕虫药物。” 该公司提起诉讼，要求追回范杜森欠他们的逾7900美元。
范杜森女士否认所有针对她的指控。但是指控的一致性以及它们来自多个来源的事实应该引起一些关注。
亲自， 我不会’在解决所有这些问题之前，不要收养他们的狗。
如果你’re going to adopt a dog from a 她lter or 拯救 check out my list of 10 things you can do to ensure you adopt a dog from a reputable 拯救.
西雅图人道主义医院的网站上可能只列出了22条狗，但它们的照护量是该数目的近4倍。我应该知道;我在避难所当志愿者。
感谢您提供信息并感谢西雅图人道主义组织的志愿服务。我认为这证实了我的观点，即一个人可以’正确照顾37只狗。根据西雅图人道主义’的财务记录显示，该公司在2014财年的收入为600万美元，是去年PRRR筹集资金的60倍以上。即使Seattle Humane照顾了80只狗，它在每只狗上花费的金额也明显高于PRRRR。
我已经看到有人试图开始戏剧，因为他们对组织不满意。我真的不喜欢喜欢你的人“whoever wrote this”. For bringing down an organization that is 救命 ing animals 上 the edge of death.
I have visited this 拯救 上ce at an adoption event in lakewood, the staff was awesome, 和 the dogs were healthy, 和 waiting to find a new home. I also saw when you adopt a dog, you end up with a whole package. From what I remember, was a Bed, leash, collar, dog food, PUPPY CLASSES, I know there was more but hitting a blank. Thats a pretty great deal if you ask me! Gets you all set up to bring your new addition back home.
说实话好像你’re spewing bullshit lies, about a 拯救, just because you might be angry or upset. Thats more dogs that are dying in kill 她lters. So knock it off grow the fuck up 和 stop being an ignorant bitch, 和 救命 these animals live.
P.S Dogs are unpredictable animals. Thats also another problem with you people you think every dog should just be 完善。
阿们我完全支持您刚才所说的一切。
这里’我在FB页面上写的是：3个独立的家庭说，他们被告知狗没有攻击性。我不会’如果该信息仅来自1个人，则不要信任该信息，但是当同一投诉来自3个人，涉及3个不同的案件时，它表示一个模式。他们将说谎的动机是什么？一世’已经写了关于奥林匹克动物的问题“Sanctuary”一年多来，尽管有大量证据表明这些狗被忽略了，但人们不断说它的批评者在撒谎，但没有提供任何证据。既然这些狗是自由的，并且已经由兽医和合格的行为学家检查过，我们有无可辩驳的证据表明这些狗被忽视了。只是说某人在撒谎’t prove anything.
Also, 我不’认为所有的狗都应该“perfect.” I have a dog with some behavioral issues. But a 拯救 group should be completely transparent about their dogs 和 so if a dog DOES have behavioral problems the potential adopter knows what they are.
Reputable 拯救s do background checks 和 home visits for potential adopters. They don’只是采用潜在采用者的话。如果Van Dusen女士进行了家访，她可以确定有关申请的信息是否真实。如果她做了家访，她没有’t do them very well.
论坛报的故事有多种来源。这群人被赶出了莱克伍德。 Tacoma Humane和Puyallup庇护所均获胜’不要把狗送给她。 3个人说他们不是’告诉狗狗好斗。范杜森女士说，培训师评估了文章中提到的其中一只狗，并说这是“adoptable”但教练说他从未见过，并向报告显示了他所养狗的清单’的合作伙伴。那只狗不是’t在清单上。大家都在说谎吗
I’收容所的支持者对此并不感到惊讶，范杜森女士称所有针对PRRR的指控都是谎言。奥林匹克动物也发生了同样的事情“Sanctuary” in Forks. For months they tried to smear anyone that criticized them, yet they offered no proof that the 124 dogs inside their warehouse were treated humanely. The 避难所 ended up being shut down 和 the dogs were taken in 通过 various 拯救s that saw how the dogs had been abused. A vet that examined 上e of the dogs said it was the worst case of abuse he’d见过，狗窝’吃了6-8周。文章引用了来自多个来源的多个人。我再次问，他们都在说谎吗？如果是这样，哪里’s the proof?
首先，写这个的人是’开始任何戏剧。他们看到一篇非常负面的文章，并致力于将其分解为更易于理解的文章。他们总结了另一篇文章中介绍的内容，并解释了该篇文章对他们而言是巨大的危险信号。它’提供了很好的信息，撰写本文的人的头也很好。
劳伦斯博士…你是什么医生？您不会像受过良好教育的人那样说话，而不是那种便盆！如果您认为所有内容都是谎言，那么您的牛肉应该属于Tacoma News Tribune而不是该网站。
Seattledogspot/Robert P. 谢谢for continuing to be a 她lter/rescue watchdog for the Pacific Northwest. This is an interesting story to me because of the fact this 拯救 is taking in pit bulls 和 large dogs from county 她lters in California instead of pulling them from city 她lters in Washington.
从全国市政庇护所收养狗的收容所正在全国范围内发生。运输路线从墨西哥边境一直到西海岸的加拿大，东海岸的上下，以及从西南到中西部。我什至在加利福尼亚的一个收容所里聊天，该收容所收录了来自墨西哥的狗。
Most commonly 拯救s take in SMALL dogs from out of state because they are in shorter supply in their own state 和 they are much easier to adopt out 和 adopt out quickly. Pit bulls 和 other larger breed dogs fill up city 她lters in Washington 和 are put to death every day. Why would a 拯救 need to go to California to get these dogs instead of their own back yard?
How about you write an 文章 上 how to 救命 拯救rs who have gone over their head. You seem to have the answers.
我不’t think they need an 文章. The first step is for the 拯救 to acknowledge it’s in over its head. Then it should stop taking in new dogs immediately 和 see if other 拯救s or 她lters can take some of their dogs so they can reduce the number to a manageable level.
她需要停下来，那’是的。她需要停止说“yes,” acknowledge it’这些动物不再’ best interest, 和 pull back from these activities until 她 can approach it in a more moderate, careful way. 这里’您想要的文章：
http://bestfriends.org/Resources/The-Overwhelmed-Caregiver-When-Helping-Gets-Out-Of-Hand/
阿们，多丽丝。桥梁而不是楔子。但它’在这里充耳不闻。
哇，你的文章太可怕了。人道协会由政府资助。私人营救并非如此，因此领养宠物的收养费将会更高’已完全接种疫苗，包括狂犬病疫苗接种，微芯片，Spay / neuter，皮带，项圈，安全带，床，玩具和跳蚤治疗，为期一年。你把所有这些加起来然后告诉我你’d在所有这些上花了很多钱。新闻记者甚至从未与自愿参加救援或从他们那里收养狗的人交谈。它’不是一个人表演，’有很多为所有狗只提供帮助并研究应用程序的志愿者。领养者告诉狗，因为它们可能是不可预测的’重新营救，你不’由于不知道它们的过去，他们被告知要使狗远离猫和其他小动物，因为它们是狗，并且有可能伤害或杀死它们。当您与其他营救伙伴合作支付所有犬只经过审核后，便有可能在一年之内收养500只犬只’将更多无家可归的宠物带入世界，并帮助他们收养狗。这实际上是对他们遇到的每只猫，狗和小动物的照护。这将为保存它做任何事情（与人道协会不同）。如果可以的话，这是一项救援行动，可以为您提供食物’不能喂动物，如果您有跳蚤问题并且可以’自己负担不起正确的药物。支付动物修理费，以便在那里’不再有乱扔垃圾的事，用陷阱和放水的方式支付野生动物的费用，这样老年人就可以了’不要选择自己或外面的猫’选择无家可归。您只会看到人们在抨击她的负面情绪，而不是她的正面情绪’为社区做的事。在尝试发布基于谎言，偏见的文章之前，请先了解真相，因为您可能无法’甚至没有正确地使用救援名称。
The Seattle 人文社会 is NOT government funded. 这里’指向其财务报告的链接。 http://www.seattlehumane.org/files/images/Final_SHS_Financial_Statements_14.pdf
财务不’t显示任何政府资助。大多数当地人文社会都是私人资助的，因此请弄清事实。然后粗略地检查“private 拯救s”在我们地区会告诉你大多数’t charge more than $300 for any dog they adopt out. Yes, they spend more 上 the dogs than they get back in adoption fees, but their main goal is to get the dogs adopted, not to make money. And saying a 拯救 does some positive things doesn’否定本文中的任何内容。
是的，这个。
Rescues, just like private pet owners 和 她lters, can be overwhelmingly good or they can sometimes get in way over their heads 和 make some huge mistakes. It seems like this particular 拯救 has gotten in way over its head 和 made a lot of huge mistakes. I’m sure this lady’s heart is in the 对 place, but the damage 她 is doing to these animals, the perception of these breeds, to the families who aren’意识到狗’s history 和 temperament, 和 to the public perception of 拯救s in general is TERRIBLE.
我不是在这个小组工作，而是在某个地方工作。 （我不会透露名字。）戴安娜（Diana）确实照顾这些动物，但正如文章所说的那样，她已经过了头。我从该组织看到了一些非常令人担忧的事情，从范杜森（Van Dusen）做出的非医学诊断，到吓scar新的小狗主人投降，让宠物以1500美元转售！告诉新的宠物主人，他们的小狗患有髋关节发育不良，没有证据（只能从X光检查中得到）或没有医生经验，只是为了让您的纯种幼犬转售，这是不正确的。同样，在这些动物进入新家之前，应对它们进行适当的检查，我知道，事实上，在这种庇护所中不会发生这种情况！离开她的团队几天后，她的许多猫被诊断出患有白血病。任何对这种疾病一无所知的人都知道它具有极强的传染性，如果您拥有这种情况的宠物，兽医建议它是您唯一的猫，并且是一生中可以预防疾病持续的室内猫。这些只是其中的一些
闭门造车的事情只是在说。
感谢您的评论和见解。
I read this 和 it sounds like a personal vendetta instead of a logical, researched 文章. It makes me nauseous that 拯救s are put through the ringer so often 通过 other “rescues”人们喷涌而出“Humane Society”这样，这些词就毫无意义。
首先，任何狗都可以成为“dangerous”在任何时候由于多种原因-不仅限于不可预见和未知的医学原因，例如脑瘤或任何数量的伤害。
For this blog, 文章, whatever it is to claim that a 拯救 charges an excessive amount at those costs is also hilarious, come visit my area in Chicago 和 if you want to see a bad 拯救 take a look at the 拯救 in Northwest IN that has actually done horiffic things with animals, Paws 这里 Foundation.
也不知道领养人已经在应用程序上告知了所有真相，无论您的检查做得如何。讲真相并引起问题而不是寻找帮助的方法是人的本性，但是您显然可以做到。而不是写这样的婴儿“我有一团内裤”文章我建议你“help” instead of hinder a 拯救 you may be surprised how positive things come from that. And as far as placing the 人文社会 上 such a high horse, how about you do some research 上 some of their issues 和 write that 文章, you could perhaps speak to Nathan Winograd, as he has done his research extensively 和 writes based 上 total factual information. Granted your local 人文社会 may or may not need to be called out 上 the carpet, but in general what they represent is a little disheartening 和 perhaps you should reconsider what you write 上 others.
至于种犬和纯种幼犬，您讨论的问题犬来自“breeders”首先，我’我们从未见过有人以您声称的价格出售一只小狗，也没有经过审核。因此，这些信息的相关性使我感到困惑。宣传唐收养的方法’t商店（顺便讽刺）
此外，由于缺乏专业精神，您感到有必要回答这么多评论。如果您对自己的主张充满信心并且实际上相信您的消息来源是“right”一边，你也许会’觉得没有必要。它的全部可耻之处在于，您希望在可能具有相同拯救生命目标的实体之间放一块楔子而不是一座桥梁。我再次强调您要这样做。当然，所有这些都是我个人的观点，就像这篇文章是基于您的观点以及您的一些朋友的观点一样。
正如大多数服务中的商品价格因州而异，收养费的价格也一样。即使粗略地检查西澳的费用，您也会发现绝大多数收费在100-300美元之间。这是西北地区的标准配置。我不’t know what 拯救s in Chicago charge, but it’无关紧要的。我也明白，任何狗都会变得危险。他们没有’不能在没有完全告知潜在收养者有关狗行为问题的情况下收养危险狗，也没有在至少观察几天的情况下收养狗。和当地人道协会’s aren’t affiliated with the national HSUS. They are focused 上 营救 和 adopting dogs. They don’不能从国家HS那里得到钱。试图将本地HS与HSUS绑定只是一个烟幕（顺便说一句，我没有’意识到收养唐’开店是一件坏事）。
I know of 拯救s that read this 文章 和 offered to take some of the dogs at PURRR 和 were turned down flat. You can’t give 救命 to someone that doesn’t want it.
然后您就可以证明我的意思了。堂堂’T SHOP应该是唯一的东西，显然您没有’得了我的嘲讽，对不起。和唐’不要以为因为人文社会是当地人，所以他们都很棒，’t。但是感谢您的尝试教育。然后让’s see what else you have to say. I would advise that the 拯救 hire an attorney, with all of your education it may be the appropriate thing to do. Again way to build bridges. You rock (sarcastic statement, fyi)
我不’t know about 人文社会 她lters other than the 上es here, 和 they do good work. But you’不是第一个抨击它们的种鸽。他们有出色的幼犬运动。
Informative 文章. Rescues need to be transparent 和 honest to potential adopters. Charging more than the standard $100.-$300. is selling dogs, not adopting them out. Like others have said, good 拯救s are not in it for the money, they are in it to re-home dogs to well matched family homes –其中包括上门拜访，背景调查，如果无法解决问题则要提供返还保证等。继续做好教育真相的人，罗伯特。
谢谢– I’ve heard of very few people that paid that much from other WA 拯救s.
I agree with everything in this 文章 except the adoption fees part. We have 拯救d many dogs from Cali 和 we charge $350-450 adoption fee per dog but we spend roughly $600 per dog for vetting, adequate boarding, vetting including (spay/neuter, deworming, health certs, heart worm tests, micro chipping (if not chipped at pound), flea 和 tick meds, grooming, antibiotics for KC, 和 all the required vaccines –DHPP，狂犬病和Bordatella）。大约要花85美元，才能使狗从CA到西雅图。’除了在卡利以每天$ 10的价格登上这只狗之外，如果我们没有’收取$ 350-450的费用，’t be able to save any dogs. I remember paying a $350 adoption fee for my dog many years before I was involved in 拯救 和 I questioned the 拯救 as to why the adoption fee was high. They stated that charging those fees for the young healthy dogs 救命 ed cover the medical cost for the older 和 less adorable dogs. I was happy to pay it 和 that was for a 5-year-old dog. Now doing what I do, I want to know people won’t blink at a $400 adoption fee because I need to know they can afford the vet care costs in the future 和 all the required care for the dog. Small 拯救s don’不要招募员工，甚至招募技术专家。他们必须支付定期的兽医费用，尽管人们可能会这样认为’s hard almost impossible to get a 拯救 discount even in this wonderful city of Seattle.
Oops! I thought I was responding to the 文章 that alerts you as to what to watch out for with 拯救s.
I do 拯救 work with a local AKC breed club which does 拯救 specific to our breed 上ly. I have personally met Diana because we received a call from her about a dog 她 wanted to surrender to us because it was a purebred 和 她 hoped the club could 救命 her with evaluating the dog.
我打电话给她，安排了一次会议，对有问题的狗进行评估，当我出现时，她说如果’不能把狗带到当地兽医处以安乐死。她关于狗的故事在一小时内发生了多次变化，从她告诉我们的救援协调员以来，故事发生了多次变化。她在现场养了6只狗，当我问她在营救中有多少只狗时，她承认自己已经超过23只。她说她有一只狗。“soft spot”为那些被指控具有危险性或受伤并想给他们机会的狗。她承认当时她要为皮尔斯县的所有狗每天收取超过200美元的寄宿费，甚至以她招募的一家人的名义在JBLM寄宿两次。“foster”. She said that 她 feels obligated to 救命 everyone that calls her even though 她 may not have kennel space or 培育 homes. She told me the story a puppy that got out of the yard, was hit 通过 a car, family couldn’付不起兽医的手术费用，但没有’不想放下，她“rescued the dog”，为这笔手术付费（向我展示了3,000美元的钞票），并说她将这只小狗还给了投降的人，因为她发现他们想要另外一条狗。我告诉她，仅仅是因为她是一个“rescue” doesn’t mean 她 has to take every dog in that needs to be 拯救d. She should 上ly take what 她 has room for 和 should be focusing 上 getting the 上es 她 has adopted out before taking in more. She went 上 about how 她 was in over her head, overwhelmed 和 just didn’找不到出路，因为有太多需要帮助的人，或者只是有人爱他们。
I spoke with a young couple who was 培育ing dogs for her 和 was able to glean from them that 她 focuses her adoption 和 培育 family recruiting efforts through Craigslist, PetSmart (Lakewood) 和 targets young adults 和 young, military families. She sometimes pressured them into taking dogs they didn’由于已知的行为问题而无法信任。
Before 和 after my interactions with Diana I did some 上line research 和 personally contacted several local pitbull, staffordshire terrier, 和 mixed breed 拯救 contacts here in Tacoma/Pierce County. As a result, I feel that although 她 has a 情有独钟 for dogs in need, 她 is unqualified to do what 她 is doing 上 the scale 她 does, has good intentions but the day to day operations of running a 拯救 are more than what 她 can handle, 和 her reputation horrible 和 continuing to spiral downward as a result. She can’不要说不幸的是，狗，猫（我不知道她是“rescuing”），人们也在受苦。当我问起她时，很多人都翻了个白眼，还有一些人称她为“crazy” 和 having “hoarding”倾向，但所有人都说她没有资格经营“rescue group”她自己。不幸的是，可能会采取法律行动阻止她。
Our club 拯救 coordinator 和 I feel a personal responsibility for every dog taken in to our 拯救. When either 上e of us go out to evaluate a dog, first 和 foremost our my mind is what’s best for the dog, not me, not the 拯救, nor the current owner. We try to find out what’继续，为什么他们投降了，这是可以解决的问题。如果我们不这样做’t have a 培育 family within our 拯救 group we say so up front 和 offer to have club members come work with them. 拯救 people have to be willing to look at the whole issue objectively. Is this a dog that can be rehabilitated or placed in another home, do we have a 培育 who can handle the issues, are they issues that will take long term training or just someone who is a veteran of the breed? Is it a matter of the current owner not knowing how to handle the issue? Last but not least is: would we be risking the dog injuring someone as a result of any behavioral issues. We have said no, when we didn’由于没有办法照顾狗，在经过多位训练员和繁殖者放下狗的评估后，我们有时会不情愿地收起狗来。
不幸的是戴安娜’s heart appears to get in the way of her objectivity more often than not when it comes to running her 拯救 organization.
As for the dog I was there to evaluate. I was able to surmise that 她, the dog trainers who evaluated the dog nor the 培育 family were familiar with training 和 personality of the breed 和 as such it was reacting due to it’s treatment 通过 the previous owner. She surrendered the dog into our 拯救 program. I handed it off to 上e of our experienced 培育 families, within 24 hours they agreed with my initial evaluation, worked with modifying the behavior 和 some obedience training the puppy was placed in a forever home a couple weeks later.
感谢您让我们知道您的经验和知识。一世’我听到了很多这样的故事。 所有 讲这些故事的人可以’t be lying.
I have personally dealt with Diana. It was not a pleasant experience. I want to know where a dog named Gordon is, I am unable to get a straight answer out of anyone. I have heard he was in a 培育 home, that he is in boarding, 和 I know 她 was begging money for him a crate/ kennel. If anyone involved with her can tell me where Gordon is 和 how he is I would greatly appreciate it.
如果你 can give more details about Gordon please send them to [email protected].
Having adopted a dog from PURRR救援, it was clear to me that this was more of an animal trafficking/flipping organization then a 拯救. I worked with Collie Rescue 和 Humane Animal Rescue Team in Southern California. PURRR is not a dog 拯救 that I would recommend to anyone. I wrote a letter to Petco Charities after my adoption experience with Diane, 和 told them what I thought. We have had several behavior issues with the dog we adopted. If I wasn’如果是经验丰富的犬主，这只狗将被交予人道协会并被安乐死。
