Many of you know I have been involved is breed rescue for years and for those that do not trust me I have heard many stories and I think I have heard just about every sorry ass lame excuse I can hear for giving up your dog. Thing is I get no reward for what I am doing other then knowing I have helped an animal that otherwise must be put to death.
Those who know me well knew that this week I was ready to throw in the towel so to speak and never help another dog but my own because the heartbreak is endless. This is not aimed at any of the responsible people on here by any means but maybe to some of the lurkers or anyone thinking that we or me in particular am going to justify your need to breed dogs. Or I am going to yell and scream at those of you who think a dog is a good thing to have as a puppy or at the time but when your life changes it has to go.
I spend countless hours daily trying to clean up your messes!! My home is disrupted by your stupidity !! My new carpet has to be cleaned daily and I have no life outside of cleaning up after you. Extra money that would afford my hubby and myself a good vacation goes instead to cleaning up behind you !!!
I have suffered through a very heart breaking choice this week with Maverick but the choice is that he goes to his new home and let me say why that is. Because of the cold insensitive hearts of the human being dogs are disposable. They are here to serve a purpose whether that purpose is to make money selling the babies or to fill avoid in your life until you find something else to fill that void then the dog is on it's own and the people like myself have to come behind you and clean up your mess!!
You all say in the back of your mind " Just don't do it then " I say if not me and people like me what becomes of them ?
Today I had to take in this old man, Oscar. Why because his owner has problems and after 9 years she has no choice so I agree. She was going to take him to Lied animal shelter where he would be put down on Sunday that is all the time they give them. He has served his purpose and made her 12 litters and been a good old boy and woke her up when the house was on fire but now he no longer is something she can make room for. When she got here her story was different then that which she told me on the phone. She is not broke she has $3600.00 from the sale of her home to get out of town and find a new place. Now if that were me you can bet your sweet hind quarters that my dogs would go too. Anyway our shelter is over crowded and no place for these guys and here is sweet 9 year old Oscar who is looking out the window for his mommie to please come back who of course will not. I have to see if I can not make him a little happy and find a good place for him.
Normally I keep this to myself and just go on but I feel I have to speak out because you Backyard breeders almost got me to give up!!!
