as far as you not doing home checks on the other dogs you have placed- shame on you.

Agreed. Though after disagreeing with Eric on key aspects of his "rescue" (pups are spayed/neutered before vaccinated, pups attend puppy parties without being current on vaccines, he has no problem with one of his fosters having 24 dogs in her apartment, etc), we were banned from his forum.
Unfortunately, Melanie is on her own now. SPBR won't help.

Would you rather she just stick Susie in a crate and never take her out again instead of trying to find a more appropriate foster home for her?
Now I see Melanie's reluctance to ask for help in this situation... And this is sad. This entire forum is supposed to be for pit bull owners helping other pit bull owners. If a member is afraid to post asking for help with this type of situation, how does that help anyone?

Melanie.. Im sitting here being VERY quiet, trying not to interfere. But I honestly dont see how your being attacked. I see some people questioning you and perhaps stating an opinion, but I also see MANY others offering you advice and support. The whole issues is hypersensitive Im afraid.
Please dont leave..

Maybe then the situation would become a little more manageable?

We have had to mod this board more in the past WEEK than we EVER have & frankly, I am tired of it. As has been stated when everyone first arrived. We are here FOR THE DOGS, not YOU, not ME, THE DOGS. If something we say hurts your feelings, you need to toughen up because it is not about YOU. These dogs are FIRST & FOREMOST. WIth them & US....it is do it right or not at all.

i am sorry, but DOG AGGRESSION is part of the pit bull breed. if you dont want to deal with it then dont foster pit bulls.. or know your limits.. i am sick and tired of dogs being pushed around because they got into fights with the resident dogs due to the fosters not paying attention.. you NEVER ever let a new dog mingle with your dogs the first few weeks they are with you, and especially not a whelping mother.. i am tired of the woe is me crap, find a new foster, cant deal with it, etc..
