| - Even though my first foster became my dearest, most loyal friend, it was not without struggle. I agree with the other reviewer about the owner's aggressive, rude attitude.
My foster dog was having obvious health issues so I brought him to their preferred vet (who was shady, didn't seem to care about his job, and was located at the very edge of NE calgary). He misdiagnosed my guy. The owner of the foster home dismissed the vet and said that he doesn't know what he's doing. Why have him look after the dogs, then? Probably because he is cheap. Anyway, when I tried to bring up my dog's medical issues, the owner brushed it off again. She said he was peeing normally, and I know (having had two dogs myself) that he wasn't. She said he was just marking but his pee wasn't coming out and he was struggling. She acted like I was was an idiot. I did not want to put my foster dog in the adoption events unless they advertised that he has health issues. The rescue agency forced me to come. My dog was only interested in following me around and of course I eventually kept him.
It is common for rescue societies to advertise their dogs as healthy and young. My guy was advertised as two years old, but different vets said that he was around 6-7 at that time. He is on proper medication now from a very loving, knowledgable vet in Signal Hill.
Be careful when adopting.
