In 2010, 珍妮佛 arrived in Yakima 从瑞星凤凰M救援中收养一只狗。
She wanted to adopt a large dog because 她read 那 “large dogs (were) being put down without option of 采用 due to the economic downturn and recession.”

通过Petfinder，她在上升凤凰Phoenix救援（RPMR）网站上找到了几只大狗。到达RPMR后，她选择了名叫Dudley的那不勒斯M犬。
达德利收养他时没有行为问题或健康问题，但他在一年内死于癌症。
尽管瑞星凤凰M救助计划收养了数十只生病的狗， Jennifer doesn’t believe 那 Dudley had cancer because her vet gave him a clean bill of health the day after 她brought him home.
达德利死后，她想再养一只大狗，于是她回到RPMR收养了一只。
RPMR告诉她他们没有’没有大狗，所以她和狗一起测试了另外几只狗，但是她没有’喜欢他们中的任何一个。
那’当她的狗独自开始用笔在远处咆哮时，詹妮弗问她能不能见到它。这里’她如何向我描述这次会议：
“他又高又瘦，看上去几乎不舒服。我的狗以为他是世界上最伟大的东西。她在他面前翩翩起舞。我立即想到“perfect match”. They didn’除了他是一只受虐的狗，而且主人将他扔掉以外，他也没有多说。
他们还说 他没有 ’t care for young men and 那 he had a tendency to nip at the owners bathrobe tie. 我没有’t think 那 what they said was unusual, my old dog didn’t care much for young men either. She barked at them a lot. Now the nipping at a bathrobe belt.. I did think 那 was odd, but I let it go.
我给了钱，在纸上签名，然后把他装在皮卡车的驾驶室里。一位似乎在那里工作的人说：“You have a crate in your truck. 那 dog should ride in the crate. My friend who had gone with me, 说 那 when the dog was brought out for me to see, 员工们退缩了。 我忙看我的狗’对陌生狗的反应，以确保他对她很合适，并且没有’没注意到我朋友所做的一切。”

她给这只狗命名为Ciccino。
在回家的路上， Ciccino首先显示出行为问题的迹象 at a drive-thru Starbucks. 珍妮佛 told me 那 as they drove up to the window to order coffee, Ciccino “弹道” 当他试图到达咖啡师时，来回摇动卡车。
After they got home Ciccino explored the yard and house with 珍妮佛’没有问题的另一只狗。
珍妮佛一关灯，准备上床睡觉，他的行为就改变了。直到泡沫在他的嘴周围累积之前，他无法在一个房间到另一个房间放松和步调。
珍妮佛 stayed up with him all night to keep him calm.
珍妮佛 said her first five days with Ciccino were “充满混乱和关注。” She also noted 那 她有“从来没有观察到过像他所展示的狗的行为。”
这里 is what 珍妮佛 said Ciccino did during his first five days at her house:
-
- 他会从看起来很放松变成一瞬间风靡一时’s notice
- 他攻击并破坏了洗碗机和真空吸尘器。
- 诸如垃圾把戏之类的不寻常的声音将他送入“a state of frenzy.”
- 他咬了她的儿子’他们第一次见面时，他走在前门的时候。
- 当他醒来时“他会冲刺，准备进攻。”
- 他不会’t let 珍妮佛 back in the house when 她took out the garage.
- 他不会’t allow 珍妮佛 to touch him.
After her first five days with Ciccino, 珍妮佛 realized 那 她“完全没有资格处理他的那只狗。”
But despite all this disturbing behavior, Ciccino stayed attached to 珍妮佛s’s side “like Velcro”随她走到哪里都跟着她。 他显然希望陪伴和关注，但他太害怕了，犹豫不决。
这是有道理的，因为M犬经常与一个人紧密结合。奇西诺必须努力调和他对与珍妮弗结盟的渴望。
So, after Ciccino had been with her for 5 days, 珍妮佛 called RPRM and told the person who answered the phone 那 她有to return Ciccino. But whomever answered the phone said they would 上ly take him back if 珍妮佛 paid double the amount 她paid to adopt him, 大概是450美元. 他们想要更多的钱来训练他。
Yes, you read 那 correctly.这个terrible, money-grubbing 拯救 group wanted to charge this woman over $1000 to return a dangerous dog 那 never should have been up for 采用.
我知道会有信誉的救援人员 总是 take back 上e of their dogs at no cost if an 采用 doesn’t work out.
当然， no reputable 拯救 would have adopted out a dangerous dog 也有严重的行为问题。
这里’s how 珍妮佛 reacted to what 她called a “scam”: “我的下巴撞到地板了。我不能’t believe it. 我真的被一只危险的狗困住了 除非我花了很多钱还给他。”
Fortunately for Ciccino, 珍妮佛 is a dog lover with a huge heart and 她拒绝将狗送回RPRM地狱或安乐死。

取而代之的是，她付了一个培训师与他一起工作了几个月。我问他刚开始和他一起工作时以为Ciccino有多危险。
这里’是他如何描述奇西诺’我的行为问题：
“He was exhibiting aggressive behavior 那 was mostly 基于恐惧。 他还显示出有保护自己认为自己的领土（房屋）的迹象。& car). Ciccino exhibited all the various behaviors 那 come along with this type of aggression. He would give off low guttural warning growls and had bitten in the past but never attacked. Bites were relatively minor even though he could have done as much damage as he wanted given his size.”
经过几个月的培训和数千美元的培训， 珍妮佛 said Ciccino was “a changed dog.”
与教练一起工作可以使他变得更多 “calm and relaxed.” 他也学会了享受 “走出去，成为世界的一部分。”
但是尽管有奇契诺’s progress, 珍妮佛 reiterated 那 她must “remain vigilant” at all times 和他一起。
她让他缠住孩子们 并避免陌生人外出。突然的动作仍然可以使他震惊。
由于詹妮弗’辛勤工作和奉献精神’自从她和教练一起工作以来，没有人咬过他。他’s even best friend’s with 珍妮佛’在与她在一起的头几天里被他咬过的儿子。
“Keep in mind, I did not have enough experience with dogs to understand any of his signals or actions 那 he exhibited to communicate what he was feeling or how to treat it. The constant growling was unnerving. The pacing and panting was difficult to watch. The shaking and trembling would eat at your heart. 你永远都不知道他是要进攻还是弄湿自己，然后在角落里畏缩。
He exhibited a wide range of behaviors 那 you didn’t know how fix, comfort or treat. Was he more dangerous than a loaded pistol 那 you should hide from, or was he a sad pathetic mess 那 you put your arms around and love. I bounced back and forth with my own emotions.
I felt so sad for what the dog was going thru, to total complete fear 那 he was going to harm me. The more he shifted behavior, the more I did too. At 上e point, I think we feed off each others insecurities. I wouldn’如果我们彼此害怕，不要感到惊讶。我不仅与狗和我自己一起吃饭，而且还担心。他会伤害家人吗？如果他离开房子或院子怎么办？他会去追随街上走的邻居，小孩还是某个人？

我永远也不想成为对狗不负责任的人之一，因为它可能会严重伤害某人。 无助的感觉压倒了。 Who do you turn to. Where do you find help. Who has the answers? How do you fix it? The icing 上 the cake.. I, according to the 拯救, was the 上e to blame for the dogs behavior. Ciccino isn’一只普通的狗，他没有’附带说明。在获得帮助并希望一切顺利之前，我不得不加油打气。”
珍妮佛’s description of her initial days with Ciccino shows what often happens when someone adopts a dog from a dishonest 拯救 group.
Ciccino永远不会因为他的侵略和恐惧问题而被收养。
A competent, honest 拯救 那 took in a dog with a bite history would have hired a qualified trainer or behavioralist conduct an extensive evaluation to determine if he could be adopted.
But to dog flippers, the 上ly thing 那 matters is taking in dogs and adopting them out as quickly as possible while spending as little as possible 上 them. 那 means 没有行为评估，没有培训，也没有家庭访问。
Adopting a dog from an unscrupulous 拯救 like RPMR is like playing 俄罗斯轮盘。您可能会得到一条健康，听话的狗 那’s perfect for your and your family. However, like 珍妮佛, you could also get a dog with numerous health and temperament problems 那 you are can’t handle.
在上一篇文章中，我写道 dozens of people who adopted dogs from RPMR 那 either had 严重的健康问题，行为问题或两者兼而有之。
These people end up paying thousands of dollars to provide training and medical care 那 should have been covered 通过 the “rescue”分组他们在哪里。
珍妮佛’的故事只是如何 上升凤凰Phoenix救援 is a fraudulent, irresponsible dog 拯救 group.
它只有一个目标：赚更多的钱。
给他们， 狗只不过是他们用来实现这一目标的产品。
（注意：为了保护她的隐私，我更改了采用Ciccino的女人的名字。）
We also adopted a neo from them . When 她started having the same problem with small kids I called them to let them know 那 we could no longer keep her. With a new baby in the house. It was just a week before Christmas so I was told I had to email them with all the problems 。他们没有’没有时间与我交谈。所以我给他们发邮件说他们没收到。几周后，我们发现那只狗是新的家，因为我从没听到过他们的消息。然后不得不把狗带回去并带回去。他们从来没有花时间听或者发回电子邮件，这是我的不幸。我再也不会经历它们。当我们得到她的狗时，我们的狗看起来像胡扯，花了几个月的时间才使她变得健康。
感谢您分享您的体验。听起来很像我’ve seen
我对他们也有非常不好的经历。我试图在Craigslist上为我的Great Pyre混音找到一个新家。他们联系了我并提出要带他去，他们说，由于他有关节问题，他们将能够找到他的理想住所，并给他做膝盖手术。当他们在网站上将他收养时，他们表示他已被虐待。他从未被虐待！他们还决定说他是高加索牧羊犬，他们说已经对他进行了DNA测试。我从种犬那里得到了他，看到他们是父母，他们完全撒了谎。高加索牧羊犬通常非常昂贵，而大比勒犬唐’不要花那么多钱。兽医说他的膝盖有问题，兽医说他有时可能需要手术。他们在给他的补遗中说，受伤是要踢的，无法操作。我能够联系收养他的人。他们的兽医告诉他们这是一个遗传问题，他们确实给他做了手术。他们专门在寻找高加索牧羊人，他们因此而被骗。—当我面对他们讲述的关于这只狗的谎言的救助时，那个女人袭击了我。她指责我是骗子。— This “rescue”应该关闭！
谢谢你让我们知道你的故事’我听到过很多次相同的事情。她攻击任何对她或狗提出疑问的人。
我们是詹妮弗在谈论大比利牛斯山脉的人！我在寻找另一个品种，但不会’t trade Otis for anything now 那 we have him. It was meant to be. I would have never known the true story about Otis if I wasn’找不到詹妮弗并听到她的声音。不断上升的凤凰一直对他撒谎。珍妮弗（Jennifer）留下了兽医记录和一个联合补品。我什么都没收到。我和我的兽医来回奔波，试图获得真实的故事。我终于告诉他们他们在撒谎，但是他们没有’小心。我们很幸运能在奥蒂斯生病或发生更糟的事情之前将其赶出现场，这已经有传言了。如果您看到此消息，Otis的Jennifer非常高兴且非常安全。我们爱他到死。
感谢您的评论。您还记得她向您收取了多少费用吗？
他们向我们收取了$ 400。好像很高，但我真的很想要他。我记得詹妮弗曾说过，他们在争取他方面颇具侵略性，因此可以翻转他。他们告诉我他已经被修饰过了，这是一个谎言，他很瘦。他很快就增加了40磅，体重恢复了健康。
谢谢你分享你的故事。您是否需要付钱让他接受？
将您的狗扔到Craigslist上了吗？
I wrote in the post 那 I changed the name of the adopter to protect her identity because Tricia Porter, who runs the 拯救, will often harass people 那 raise questions about what 她does. If you have any documents 那 confirm your statement 那 the dog was adopted in CA please let me know.
凤凰城（和特里什·波特）的崛起实际上是最糟糕的。如何阻止它们？？？他们卖给我们一条狗（以“adoption” or “rescue” but let’s be honest here…) with parvo. She was 8 weeks old, we have always gotten our dogs from 拯救 and took a chance 上 a new “rescue.”在我们从瑞辛·菲尼克斯（Trish Porter）收到小狗的第二天，她被诊断出患有细小病毒。我们打电话通知他们他们的住所有小包，她告诉我们“that’s not my problem” REALLY?!?!? Parvo at a dog 拯救 facility 那 you own is not your problem? I can’t think of anything 那 is more YOUR PROBLEM. We weren’t even asking for anything (at 那 point – we eventually asked for our money back for the 采用 – Petfinders interceded 上 our behalf and we received our 采用 refund, much to Trish’s dismay). Negligent, uncaring, and cold-hearted. They are literally the worst. Our puppy spent 8 days being cared for 通过 us before 她died. At least 她有那. 这个was in 十二月 of 2010 – so she’过去6年以来一直生意不好– how can we stop her?? 这个is just insane. Is 她still registered as a non-profit as well?? I’我对她的回应仍然很生气。
I feel it prudent to chime in myself here. I am sorry to hear of the bad experiences you had with the 拯救.
I have personally adopted 3 dogs from Rising Phoenix and my experience has been the opposite of what I am reading here. All 3 of our dogs are wonderful and are so very loved. Are they perfect? Absolutely not! Were they dirty and a bit stinky when we got them? Yes. Did they need some minor veterinary care? Yes they did. Were the 采用 fees a bit 上 the high side? Yes they were. I also went into it knowing 那 these are in fact 拯救 dogs and they are not going to be perfect. None of them had happy lives before and I am happy we were able to step in and give them the good home they all deserve. This 拯救 takes in dogs 那 have behavior issues, Medical Issues, and breeds 那 are hard to place in homes. We have a Saint Bernard, a Daniff, and a Dogue De Bordeaux all from there and each time I drove 3.5 hours each way. They are our babies and we love them dearly.
This is in no way meant to devalue the bad experiences others have had. I find 那 to be sad and very unfortunate. However, it is important to me 那 someone who has had positive experiences with this 拯救 also speaks up. I would certainly adopt from them again in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Not every dog adopted out from disreputable 拯救s have behavior or medical problems, and I’m glad your 采用s worked out. I wish I could say 那 for the dozens of people 那 had horrible experiences with Rising Mastiff.
As someone who has been involved in 拯救 上e way or another for 20 years…营救犬应保持清洁，并应保持健康并经过彻底的审查… If they are not 那 is NOT a good group. Any incurable disease or ailment should be explained in the dogs bio 上 the website and also all 采用 listings such as petfinder. 那 is the literal definition of 拯救 dog. 那 is why there is an 采用 fee – you should get a dog 那 you should expect to not have any vetting expenses to shell out of pocket for a year from 采用 (unless of course it is something you were made aware of in bio prior to inquiring 上 dog and agreed to take 上 financially). To make excuses for this dog flipper and say your adopted dog was dirty and stinky and you had to pay out of pocket for certain things esp after paying an unseemingly high 采用 fee – reputable 拯救s keep a dog in its care until healthy and send the dog to adopters bathed and groomed. Usually the 采用 fee rarely covers all of vetting for the 上e 拯救 dog 那 the 拯救 shelled out and all 拯救s take abused and neglected dogs.
Now 那 RPMR is closed down, I hope you will seek out a reputable giant breed 拯救 group and adopt… Then compare experiences and I think you will realize just how a real positive 采用 should be.
I am currently emailing rising phoenix mastiff 拯救 to adopt what the website 说 is a mastiff. It looks like a mix between English and bull mastiff. His name is Jake. My contact 说 he is about 3 years and 130 lbs, when I asked what type of mastiff it was, as saying something is a Mastiff generally means English Mastiff, they said he was bull/French from the mother and English from the father and 那 130 was a good weight. From all my research I believe 那 to be provably false, especially for a male. I’我一直想要藏ast，我真的希望这不是’骗局，如果是的话，我想给狗带来更好的生活，我只希望有’不会是我不愿看到的医疗问题。
请让我们知道会发生什么。
I see 那 I’m years to late, but is there anyway to track a dog 那 was “rescued” 通过 these terrible people? Any records of the dogs they sold or put down? Anything like 那 or am is my request as far fetched as this comment 2 years to late
我不’可以这样想，但是如果您给我发送有关狗的一些详细信息，我可以检查一下。请通过电子邮件发送给 [email protected]。谢谢！
