They Moved Without Her

[lizbud]

Please permit me to vent a little ....

Some people who have been renting a house in my area
packed up & moved today and they left the dog they've had
for two years. The dog is a female, red colored Pit Bull.They
bred her early last summer & sold all the pups. I guess they
have no use for her anymore She is the sweetest girl &
is starved for attention. She seems to be o.k. with other dogs & has a good respect for cats.They kept her in their back yard &
never in the house. I had called Animal Control earlier in the
day today b/c she had been let loose & was running around
the neighborhood for the last 3 days. Today, I saw why they
let her loose, they must have been planning to move all
along & didn't plan on taking her. Animal control said they
would be here around 3pm, but I haven't seen them yet.

It was heartbreaking to watch her run a path back & forth
between her old house & my house all afternoon while these
people packed their stuff and left. I've fed her today, but
have no room to provide shelter for her. I told the people as
they were moving stuff out of the house that their dog was
at my house and to come for her & they said "Oh Yeah". A
little while later they were gone. I really don't understand
some people.

Do you know of a local PB Rescue that would be willing to take her in on short notice?

Being a PB - will Animal Control *try* to adopt her out, or ...?

She might have a much better chance of finding a Forever Home if she's picked up by a Rescue Group.
Could you *hide* her in your back yard for a few days while you search for a Rescue? Moki would probably let her stay for a lil while!

Lizbud, I can't understand how folks can be so unattached to their pets/animals. I guess it takes all kinds to make up this world, and you are unlucky to have had an unkind, kind living next door.

I hope you can find a rescue group for this poor dog and that it all works out. Keep us posted.

I would love to help, but I live so far away. Maybe we could all chip in to board her somewhere until she gets rescued?

Let us know. Good luck kind lady.

I would not have called Animal Control normally, but they
have a new Director now & old policies about Pits have now
been changed. No automatic pts policy on Pit Bulls. Supposedly
they will evaluate each dog on it's merits for adoption.Thanks for
the reminder about Pit Rescue, I will check that out tonight. As
for keeping her in the back yard. I did that today for awhile, but
she seemed so anxious to get out again, I let her back out.

Moki is thrilled to have a friend to play with & probably would
love to have her stay around. (Moki is as big as she is).

It's sleeting & snowing outside now and I'm concerned about
her staying warm enough. The neighbor that is right next door
to her old house has indoor/outdoor carpeting on her front
porch & has been feeding her also. I hope she sleeps there
tonight. I'm going to check Rescue groups now.

Oh dear. Sometimes human beings can be so hard hearted! Poor, dear girl. Please keep us updated, do you know her name?

[Uabassoon]

That's so sad, I can't belive that people just leave their animals behind. I hope she is able to find a forever home, she seems like such a sweet dog. PLease keep us updated.

People can be so cruel at times. I hope she has some place warm to sleep tonight. And I hope her former owners have many a sleepless night.

I just don't understand the human race. How? Why? I'll never get it. Thanks for helping this poor sweetie out. I know Mike and Molly are out on the road doing transports today, but if you aren't able to find a rescue maybe there's a little more room at the Inn

Unfortunately this type of thing happens all the time. The daughter of our friends saw this little girl thrown out of a moving car. Now she has a home with that daughter and spent Christmas with the folks. She is such a good dog, at one year old, puts mine to shame.

Oh my. This is such a sad thing and once again makes me ashamed of my fellow humans. How could they do such a thing, but of course that question is as old as time itself. I am so glad there are people like you and your neighbor who are willing to help such a poor little soul. I was watching Animal Precinct last night and sometimes I almost have to turn it off when I witness the inhumanity of humans! **sigh** Please do keep us posted on this poor little one.

I have a special dislike for those who dump their dogs. I am glad that AC has changed their policies on Pit Bulls, because otherwise, it would be a death sentence, whether the dog be nice or not. Thank you for looking after this sweetie and good luck to her on finding a new forever home.

How sickening. Poor, dear girl must be frantic, wondering where her "loving parents" have gone. It defies comprehension how some people's conscience's allow them to treat living creatures so cruelly, without a second thought. From my experience with PB rescue, they are hard pressed to be able to provide foster homes for the dogs prior to an adoption but will help in providing links, posting all of the info./pics/on PB rescue websites, etc. My heart is breaking for this little sweetie Does anyone in the neighborhood have a garage she can sleep in tonight?? I'm so sad I hope the local shelter will try to find her a home.

I hate humans! Have you called Rosie to see if she had any room or any ideas? Those people deserve the same thing happening. What would they do if they had no home or no food? They, of course, would get help from the government, which is not an option for animals.

I was able to find a local PB Rescue network locally. I got the
number from a website listing. Called & left my name,number
and a brief description of the situation. Unfortunely ,Sandra is
right in that the PB network depends on people fostering & does
not have a Shelter building. AC did not show up at all yesterday.
Can you believe they told me not to feed her b/c the "owners"
could then sue me for it since she is their "property"

One person came back to the old house today to pick up
more stuff, but I watched & the dog didn't even try to go near
them.She just watched them & then came back to my house.

Evidently, nobody can do anything to help this dog until she
enters the "system", i.e., the owner turns her over to adoption
or AC picks her up for roaming around loose. Once she is picked
up by AC, she will be in the custody of the County & not the
"owner". Rescue , adoption or being "pulled" by Rosie is then
possible. What really gets me is how confused & scared she
must feel right now btw, I fed her today anyway. I'll make
more calls about her tomorrow. AC is closed on Sunday

That poor baby. My heart aches for her.
