[pyrnet] RE: OT: Rescue Caution Alert

I forwarded this message without thinking – my apologies. First I sent the message in its entirety, with names (my first mistake) and after thinking about it – what is wrong with a family wanting a big dog to ward off predatory animals. The mastiff may not be the best dog in Colorado for this job, but certainly many of the larger LGD’s are!

Please forgive me!

Cross Post from Giant Dogs Rescue

Hi. I wanted everyone to be aware of a family in Lyons, CO. They have been made aware that they will get a dog from MCOA mastiff rescue around the time there is an ice-age in hell, so, they will probably either try another MCOA coordinator or another large breed. Names are Katherine and Mike Weadley.

Application looks great; vet. References were great, BUT we found out through a slip on Katherine's part--just in time too, I might add--that they need a large dog to keep deer and mountain lions out of their yard. We don't place our rescue kids as bait for mountain lions. Please beware of these people. If there hadn't been that slip-up on her part, they would have one of our mastiffs right now.

Please crosspost.
