This vet had a MaltiPoo to get rid of...just a baby, barely 3 mos old. Bought the "Gucci" pup from some breeder in Washington State for her daughter and paid a fortune for her, but said it just "wasn't working out." Well, SHE didn't say it. In fact I never saw the lady. The vet techs gave me all the information. I fell in love with her, and then the vet tech told me Dr. Blessing wanted $600 for her. (!!!). No problem. I felt it was the least I could do for the poor little thing. No telling what would happen to her. I paid the money and brought sweet ClaraBelle home. Dr. Blessing never even came out to talk to me when I took her home -- and never, ever, ever even called to see how she was doing. She is now 7 years old and a joy of our family. Makes me leery as to how competently she would truly care for an animal in her practice.
