Fugly...that's his name!

[lute]

this poor guy is at the Terre Haute Humane society in Terre Haute,Indiana. i was pretty shocked at what they named him, but then in his "notes" section they just tell you haw horrible he is. poor guy will probably be PTS.



Fugly's petfinder page.


please post about him everywhere you can. i want to try and proove to them that he has just as much a chance to be adopted as all the other dogs!

Wow, that's pretty disgusting for a shelter to do. His eye needs medical help it seems.

[lv4dogs]

I can NOT believe the staff would say such horrible things. Even if they are true they could of re-worded it, making it a possitive thing, like "needs experienced handler due to head strong behavior", "he will need medical attention for his eye". Because if he really was that unruley & unfit for a home he would be PTS not up for adoption. He must have the potential I would think, if they are at least listing him.
That pi**es me right off that they would say such a thing.

Good grief, thats uncalled for and very sad! I can NOT believe the stuff the shelter said about him, poor guy. How in the world can they not tell if a dog is male or female

[luvofallhorses]

people make me sick! I think he's beautiful. they must have no hearts!

[pitc9]

That makes me sick, why would they do that?
I hope Fugly is found a good home.

i have no idea. they say it about more than just him too. i use to volunteer at this shelter. it was under different managment then. the people that are working there now ran off all the good people.

[luvofallhorses]

IMO that place needs to be shut down if they are going to treat the animals like ^&*) !!

[Daisy and Delilah]

How do they ever expect to get him adopted with that attitude? Poor guy! How sad
I think he's a pretty cute boy

[Lori Jordan]

That puts me in rage almost im going to call them right now

[JenBKR]

I just want to cry for that poor dog. Every dog deserves a chance, I absolutely cannot believe that they put that on there. BTW, under their name, is that the shelter's email address? If so, I'm going to email them.

[k9krazee]

Wow, a SHELTER wrote that?!?! How awful

[RobiLee]

What in the heck is going on at that place?! Very wierd. I hope the poor thing finds a loving home.

[JenBKR]

I emailed them this:

I just wanted to write and say that I came across poor Fugly's page on petfinder.com, and I am absolutely disgusted by what your organization has written about him. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I can understand if he/she is not your favorite dog, but do you have to spell it out as such? I sure hope that Fugly gets adopted despite your cruel remarks.


We'll see if they respond.....

[lv4dogs]

A few of us emailed them. Seems they must be getting a lot of emails, we all got the same reply.

A very short reply just stating that they were trying to keep a "sense of humor" in their shelter and are going to be changing the dogs name.

I hope they change their attitude & the description of the dog too.
