Tier Haven Rescue & Training The ARK Project & Rescue Pet Adoption Gone Wrong - Mis-led with a Dog with Health Issues! Louisville, Kentucky

I am not part of the Tier Haven Rescue mentioned here and don't even live in the state.  I was googling for GSD rescues in KY and came across this post.  Just a few things to throw out for consideration. 

First, naval hernias are in fact very common and frequently do show up after spay/neuter.  99.99% of vets will tell you "Forget it, next time your dog is under anesthesia remind us about it and we'll remove it." I agree the rescue shouldn't have just written it off so quickly, but being in rescue myself I do understand that we get used to things that are not "big deals" from a medical standpoint.  This type of hernia is super simple to deal with and very minor stuff.  As for the worms:  if there were an easy way to get rid of worms rescue would be the first ones to jump for joy.  Dogs often require multiple treatments for worms - the life cycle is generally 3 weeks and depending on the type of worm and degree of infestation, it can take many dewormings to catch them all.   One or two dewormings is NOT a guarantee!  What's more, common worms occur in the everyday environment and dogs can pick them up in the park or on a walk, or by licking their paws after stepping in the feces of a dog who has them.  Worm-free dogs can get worms!

I am so sorry you had this experience.  It honestly sounds more like a communication problem than anything else.  I hope you will understand that those of us in rescue get so tired to the bone, dealing 24/7with the incredible neglect and cruelty, that it's easy to lose our communication skills in the endless rush.  I hope you will give these folks the benefit of the doubt.   I just met someone who also adopted from this group and she had nothing but good things to say about them.  Here's hoping your experience was the exception!
