Why?
Why are some people so cruel to animals? What do you possibly get out of being so heartless????????? I can't stand the cases I see EVERY day at the shelter. I can't stand to see dogs flinching away from hands like they were hit their whole lives. I can't stand to see the open wounds where dogs were set on fire. I can't stand to see bullet holes in a dog's side. WHY do people do this to DEFENSELESS creatures? Why do people have to turn loving, trusting animals into scared, untrusting souls that end up being killed by the city shelter?
Nell stole my heart. She's a 6 month old beauty of a german shepherd. She sticks her head in my lap and loves for me to scratch her. She didn't know quite how to play with toys but I showed her and now she spends hours jumping on top of toys to hear the "SQUEAK!". She's quite calm for being a puppy and very well mannered. I spent 4 hours with her on Thursday and 2 on Friday. Then I learned her story.
Nell's "owners" decided to move. Nell's "owners" thought it might be too much of a hassle to move Nell across town and besides she's always so annoying wanting things such as food, water and shelter. That's a bit too much for them to handle. Nell's "owners" move. Nell is conveniently left in an empty house. A neighbor gets sick of hearing Nell bark and howl for food. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing else in this empty house besides her skinny body. The neighbor puts her in the back of his truck, drives 14 miles, and dumps her. The next day, loyal Nell is sitting on the front steps of the house who's people abandoned her. Nell is wondering where they are. She walked 14 miles and found her way home to people who treated her like dirt. Well, they were supposed to be there. They weren't. A different neighbor finally takes pity and takes her to the humane society.
This is the most awful disgusting thing I have ever heard in my life. To know little Nell is to love her. I WISH I had the resources to take her in. I WISH I could just punch the people who did this to her. All that she has been through hasn't changed her sweet personality. She is a doll. If anyone is near Austin, TX, please come by and say hi. Our german shepherds don't get adopted too fast and I want Nell into a LOVING home ASAP. She deserves it.
Here she is:
