Ohh, I feel for you. Thoguh I still laugh. I would try and introduce them in a controlled environment ie you and a strong leash or maybe the strong leash tied to a strong radiator in a room. But that's tough now that the cats terrified. I'd givie it a go but I'd take off the kittie gloves for a whiel until the dogs got some respect! Plus, I think it would be ok if you took him back. As long as your saving a dog from the pound your doing good. I mean jeez if you save a dog but kill a cat, well, youre not doing much good! DRE
Also realize this means you cant have a friend who has a cat do any dogwatching. That took out about 20% of my friends. And keneling the poor thing is expensive!
