"He was super-duper friendly. He wanted to meet everybody. The only real problem I had walking with him was that every single person we passed, he wanted to say 'hi.' He liked to stand up on his hind legs and put his paws on your waist. If he got revved up, he could start playing too hard, just like anybody."
"The longtime shelter has a $500 base adoption fee for dogs, with an additional $450 "puppy package" fee tacked on for younger, more easily adoptable dogs. Gunther was shipped on March 29 to NovaStar Rescue, SCAR's partner shelter more than 1,300 miles away in Dover, Arkansas, and euthanized four days later on April 3."
"Paoli and other volunteers had a suspicion that Gunther would soon leave SCAR and even bade him their goodbyes the last weekend of March upon realizing he was coming up on his one-year anniversary at the shelter."
Dana Paoli filed a small claims lawsuit against Sean Casey Animal Rescue, seeking to recover a $1,000 donation after the shelter euthanized Gunther, a friendly pitbull mix, in Arkansas. Paoli spent over 200 walks with Gunther during the dog's one-year stay at SCAR and describes him as extremely friendly and gentle. Volunteers suspect the shelter transferred Gunther to make kennel space for younger, more profitable dogs. SCAR charges a $500 base adoption fee plus a $450 "puppy package" fee for younger dogs. Gunther was shipped to NovaStar Rescue in Dover, Arkansas on March 29 and euthanized four days later, with a veterinarian labeling him "very aggressive," contradicting volunteer accounts of his gentle temperament.
