Would you bring a kitten into the home of a rescued German Shepherd that had been through three homes and was going to be put down because nobody could handle him?
The kitten was on the road to death when the wife found it. Someone had dropped it out. Six weeks young, dehydrated, couldn't keep food down, spent $60 at my vet for the kitten. We saved its life, but she thinks it belongs in the house with this dog we rescued. Bad decision. Needs a new home when it gets better. Staying in one of our rooms now behind closed doors.
I'm not going to BEAT this dog because of his nature. They should be kept apart. I kennel him when he tries to bite kitten legs and paws under the door.
