Sorry, that sounded judgemental, it wasn't meant to. But it's a real problem pattern for these dogs once they start to go through the rehoming process. If the first rehome doesn't work out, people often lose patience after a couple of weeks. So the dog gets sent back into the shelter just as it started to feel like it was in a pack. The next time they go to a new home, they won't even start to relax until they've got past the length of time (roughly) they got to the first time out.
Which means the next adopter is now more likely to lose patience (4-6 weeks maybe of really unsettled behaviour this time around) and take it back, and maybe now here's a dog that has serious abandonment issues and becomes difficult to rehome at all.
Happens distressingly often.
