Took a chance on a tiny mix and regretted it
Went to shelter adopted tiny pit mix, seemed quiet and docile, now in hindsight I’m pretty sure was illegally dosed with trazodone or another sedative.
At first peed thought no problem, takes times to adjust. After two weeks I’m gonna return her, for a litany of issues.
So far:
Separation anxiety
Cat aggressive
Over-stimulation and chokes herself jumping 100x per walk
Pees on the floor with no warning over a dozen times IN FRONT OF US 20 minutes after being walked many numerous times
After being put in crate just pees in crate if left longer than 1-2 hours even after being walked before being put in.
I am angry, and I feel bad getting rid of a dog but there’s something mentally wrong with her, if I give her treats and treat her well, i notice she gets more anxious/resource guarding and pees in the house more.
She tried bolting for an outdoor cat on a simple walk, and growling at one inside who was a good distance away.
At a relatives house we had some children inside, she peed 20 times, as the crate had not yet arrived.
In the crate nonstop whining and scratching even staying by her and petting.
I don’t know why anyone would inbreed an entire genetic lineage this fucking bad, I don’t know why you’d drug a dog to offload it on someone who will inevitably return it.
It’s so frustrating as I’ve grown up around dogs all my life and wanted to take a chance, and now I’ll never adopt again from another fucking shelter.
