Adopted out a dog to my child that was heart worm ...

Adopted out a dog to my child that was heart worm positive.But did not reveal to him that dog was still positive. Sent him off with heartworm prevention and flea prevention Did not give a voucher for injection treatment later at Emancipet only a voucher to get 3 more months of heartworm prevention and a general price list and location info for Emancipet. Records indicated the dog was underweight and neutered. Dog had severe socialization issues but records didn t indicate severity nor a preference to women over men. Tried to surrender dog back initially after a few months because it seemed to have mental issues that might turn aggressive. They refused to send an animal control officer or allow it to be surrendered. Tried to surrender dog two more times and was told earliest they could help was a month to six weeks away.
While we have had to hand feed this dog and use another pet to socialize it and have tried to get weight on him We have given medications
He is friendlier and has just started barking after several months. He has been a work in progress. Austin Animal Shelter never did follow up phone calls or emails after adoption.
They were not forthright in the condition of the dogs health and mental state. They did not give a complete history to a local vet when asked.
(Original paperwork was lost in our moves)
If you get an animal from here you are spinning a huge wheel of uncertainty. You will not be told how it came to the shelter and you will not be told that if the dog is heartworm positive they will not have given it the antibiotics and injections it needs to make a full recovery which this takes 9 months of care and they have to be retested. They will not give them very many shots. If the dog is really social and friendly and has previous records they send it to Town Lake location to be bought by a dog customer.
A lot of money is often donated to this shelter -from individuals, groups, and corporations. Not to mention the monetary value of Vets and volunteers who give their time to this shelter.
It is shameful for a city shelter to send out heartworm positive dogs and not let the public know that they do it as practice in order to turn more dogs.
You want to donate money to a animal shelter?
Donate to Emancipet who has to do follow up care or donate to a local vet who goes to these places. Mark your donations specifically for medical care of animals.
If your a pet owner spay and neuter your pets and pick up their poop -disease spreads real quick from animal feces and mosquitoes. Get them vaccinated.
