Ok, so I’m ranting. Its not something I usually do on this blog, but, here goes.
On Saturday I was at the town animal shelter and I noticed a poor little beagle just laying there in his cage shaking like a leaf. Turns out he was an owner surrender, seems to be elderly, and not in good physical condition. The shelter is required by law to hold dogs that are brought in for the specified length of time, so there the poor dog sits (lays really, but you get the point) terrified out of his mind, with a really uncertain future. What a horrible way to spend your last days.
COME ON!!!!! What on earth was the owner thinking? You have a pet, your responsibility to it is from cradle to grave !!!!!!!!! If your pet is old, and failing and it’s their time, do the right thing, which is NOT dumping him or her at a municipal shelter to become someone else’s problem
I don’t care what the extenuating circumstances were , there is just no just excuse for this, if the dog needs to be put down, do it humanely , just DO THE RIGHT THING. This dog was someone’s companion loyal and trusting friend, stuff like this just makes me sick!!!!!!!!
