See this little guy. He was abandon in a mall that is a high traffic area. Here's the story
Tuesday a couple walked in Rogans Shoes and asked the people there if anyone wanted a 4 month old puppy. No one could so they left. When one of the workers went to go home there was the puppy walking around dragging it's leash. Well she was the aunt of my sister Jodi's son's girlfriend (you got that, lol) Marie was called and asked if she could possible keep him overnight while seeing if the owners came back. Marie called the Human Society to see if it was reported lost, no calls. She took it to a vet to check for a chip. No chip. Now Jodi loves the types of dogs and all tried to get her to take it but she's gone for 11 hours each day and that wasn't practical. He seemed to be well trained, never having an accident, going right into the carrier for the night, etc. Well cousin Mary, who just lost her Jimmy, has taken the dog. She has another small dog and they just loved playing together.
How can people do this? I just don't understand it. It just blows my mind. That poor puppy could have wandered right onto the 'I' system and been killed, the store is that close. Even though we decided to wait for a dog until after the fix-it projects, Jack said as a last resort we would take him. I'm glad he's in a home were is happy and wanted now.
This sort of thing causes me a lot of heartbreak. They are innocent and blamless. Poor babies.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It's awful, they could have placed an ad for him or taken him to a shelter. Glad he is safe and happy. Really cute.
ReplyDeleteThere's any number of reasons that could exlain why it happened. I can't read minds so I won't venture to guess. I do say thanks so much to those that stepped up to care for that little guy and make sure he is cared for. xxx
ReplyDeleteIt boggles my mind too. I'll never understand how people can be so heartless to abandon pets.
ReplyDeleteHe sure is a cute little guy.
ReplyDeleteIt just goes to show you how many clueless and thoughtless people there are.
Happy to hear he got a good home.
My mom's next door neighbor has their house in foreclosure. They moved into an apartment and LEFT their two dogs since the first of the year....yes, since the first of the year. One is a chihuahua, and the other is a young mutt...less than a year old. They were out in the driving rain and the freezing nights without protection except for a few bushes. The people recently got the water cut off at the house, so now there is no water. The city came by about 2 weeks ago and left them a note about abandoned animals, but apparently, the people must have replied, because when we mowed my mom's yard last Friday, the two dogs were still there. The man came back that afternoon for a few minutes...long enough to MAYBE leave them some water and food, but the dogs are still out in all kinds of weather. It's horrible the way some people treat animals that depend completely on their owners....and get away with it. Someone should leave them out in the cold driving rain and freezing nights....or sweltering heat that is coming up soon!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say it surprises me to hear of this sort of thing but it really doesn't. People seem to neglect their own children often enough let alone a pet. I'm so glad that the puppy found someone to love him and care for him.
