We try to not post anything negative on our page. This is not meant to be negative, but an educational moment.
Dumping your pet in any circumstance should NEVER be an option! We may not always be able to take in your pet, but we will go above and beyond to help you find placement. It may not be easy, you may have to travel, you may have to send numerous emails and make lots of phone calls, wait for an appointment for intake...
but when you just dump your pet for someone else to find and take care of...while yes, your pet is safe once with a shelter..he or she is stressed, barking, crying, nervous, crouching in a corner..it is not pretty and your pet deserves so much better than that from you.
It has been a hard few days here watching the pitbull "Moose" (according to his collar), whot was found as a stray at Milford Park, bark endlessly, cry in his kennel, have an upset tummy due to stress. It breaks our heart. It is so much more helpful when we have information about your pet, not just a name..but his or her likes and dislikes, are they fearful, anxious, what can we do to help them...it truly gets exhausting some days.
Our hearts also go out to our wildlife rehab friends, who one recently had the saddest and most horrific case regarding bunnies being doused w gasoline and almost lit on fire alive..all because someone thought they were mice. Regardless of what they are..NO animal deserves such sick and cruel treatment. My hope is the person responsible for such a horrible deed, has been reported and will be charged.
For the first time in a long time, i woke up and just felt like crying...if it were not for the amazing volunteers and staff here, our wonderful partner rescues and generous veterinarian hospitals....that reinforce every single day that there are still wonderful, giving and loving people in the world...they make it all worthwhile.
Lets all just try to do better
