Pets?

I have three terriers, but a fourth has been added.
The ad said small female terrier, $25.00.
Being in rescue I didn't want someone taking her that didn't understand terriers so a call was made and off I went to see her.
I found a 11 month old 9 pound little thing tied up outside.
The guy was mad because she was digging and wild acting.
I found out I was to be her fourth owner, why?
Because no one knew Terriers were so "wild"
I just could not send her on, one look at that happy face as she tried to jump in my car, she just seemed to know, I have a forever home.
Yes she has problems, she lunges at big dogs and barks as if she could bite them.
I have no idea what caused this, maybe a dog tried to fight with her while she was tied up, I only know I will work with her and love her.
She fast became my shadow, waking me up with kisses and always so happy to see me.
Don't people read up on a dog before they get it?
Don't they check to see what it's like, how big it will get?
I have even heard of someone getting rid of the dog because he didn't match the furniture anymore.
As long as I live I will never understand how someone can look into those big soft eyes and then turn them over to a dog shelter.
I foster and it breaks my heart to send them on to their forever home.
But I tell myself, I was the way they took to get home.
