As was stated by a previous poster "No flames and no judgement........just a question. When you adopted your dog, did you sign an agreement with the adoption agency stating that you would never let them off leash ?'
'Cause if you did, is it OK to break that promise? I personally don't think so. If the adoption group asks for that promise of their adopters, and they've entrusted you with one of the dogs they transported, cared for, fostered, whatever, then I think they are owed at least the respect of a promise kept.
