SPCA Randburg a shocking experience please avoid at all costs.

I received a notification of a Black GSD rescue from associates that was at SPCA Randburg. I immediately reached out to them as I was very keen to adopt. I was told both telephonically as well as by messenger that I must come to the branch. I left and drove 40 minutes to the branch. I met the dog and spent some time with her. She was a very shy girl but warmed to me very quickly. I have worked with GSD's my whole life. I decided that I would adopt her as she would fit in with my other dogs.

I conveyed this to the reception and would have loved to take her. I was immediately told that I had to bring my dogs for a meet and greet. At no stage during my communications with them was this communicated to me as a requirement. This meant that I now had to drive home, pick up my dogs and drive back, essentially taking up my whole day. When I explained that I have had years of experience with GSD's and understand how to introduce a new dog into a pack I was arrogantly accosted by a lady and told that if I don't like the rules I must leave. I was understandably furious as I had taken the trouble to drive a considerable distance with the best of intentions to adopt this dog. This branch of the SPCA clearly have no understanding of what is best for the dog and make a mockery of people who have decided to support the "adopt a dog" mantra pushed by their organization.

My advice is to stay away from this branch they do not have the best interests of the dogs at heart. clearly they feel it is better to euthanize dogs than get them into good homes. .
