  • My ex got a “rescue dog” from a humane society. She got him and it was rough but she said she was making progress. The first time I met the dog, I knew something was off. That dog was not meant to be a family dog. It was clearly either pure bred or close to it chocolate lab. But that dog didn’t have a lab personality. I told her to ask more about the dogs background and it turned out that they didn’t know, other than it was found by the river in the city and it wasn’t tagged. That raised a bunch of red flags, especially for a lab that wasn’t underweight. We broke up and I later found out she gave up and the dog went to a farm. This was in college lol so it didn’t “go to the farm”. I’m also leaving a lot out of that story but that dog was a nightmare.

    TL;DR scary stray dogs absolutely exist in the US. Even in the middle of the country, and even in dogs that you wouldn’t expect based on breed.
