I’m sorry to listen to about this canine. How tragic. There are a bunch of issues to unpack out of your query/remark. With out reviewing the adoption settlement, it’s tough to supply a lot enter, however first, the best of a rescue to cut back an adoption to a foster isn’t frequent. It’s often the opposite approach round (foster modified to adoption). Second, rescues that require adopters to return animals who they not need ought to be accessible to take the animal again and that shouldn’t be topic to a “rescue proprietor’s” availability. Rescues are usually not-for-profit companies and there’s no proprietor. There ought to be a board and employees or volunteers who’re keen and in a position to carry out companies.
Complaints about veterinarians could also be made to the Connecticut State Board of Veterinary Medication. Rescues that imagine they suffered damages and are due cash from an adopter/foster “dad or mum” and/or veterinarian can even sue (though it’s questionable whether or not the rescue suffered damages within the situation described). If solely the canine might sue those that let him/her down!
