Dogs Next Door Being Mistreated

[lizbud]

Souraya, You did a wonderful thing by speaking up for those dogs!!!Thanks to You
they now at least have a chance for a normal
life.
Please update on this when you hear any more
about where the dogs may go ,or their
psysical conditions if known..
P.S. purrley, GOOD for You for speaking up
to the neighbor beating the dog!!People who
treat animals so horribly are real cowards
at heart, and would rarely strike out at
someone who could fight back!!!I would do
the same thing if I witnessed the beating.
(I just could not turn away)

Wow, a lot can happen here in 24 hours.
Congratulations Souraya on your courage and on your success.

Corrina, I wish I knew what to suggest. Do you know of anyone who might want to give a home to the dog? Maybe the guy would willingly give it up if he knew it would have a good home. If you know the apartment where he lives, you could write him a letter, signed or not signed depending on how you feel about it, and expain your concerns in a nice way. Some people just don't seem to have a clue.

I just came across this post.
Souraya, I'm so glad you made that phone call. Let's pray that these poor babies are adopted into loving, caring homes. I so hate to think that there are so many animals out there being abused and neglected.
I just can't believe the attitude of the lady living in the house! That's truly unbelievable! If she didn't want to be bothered taking care of the dogs, she could have at least dropped them off at a shelter, or called the local shelter. I'm sure that they would have come to pick the dogs up.
Some people just have no heart.

Thank you, bless you, great big hugs of thanks! You were a voice for the voiceless!!! Our animal control officer here is so onto situations like these! If she even HEARS of a rumor, or notices herself, anything untoward in the care of an animal, she's there and often the dogs are taken away immediately!! Thank goodness these guys have a wonderful second chance thanks to you. I get sick at the thought of the mindset, the lack of conscience, of anyone who could see these animals daily, and care not of their well being. Thank you again! Maybe it's too much to hope that they could be adopted together?? And this might be a good place to post a link to the animals rights petition currently being circulated to be presented to Congress...Please sign! It may in the future avoid the intitial response, or lack of response, by the officials in this case!

And if you have a moment, cick onto their website and read about the wonderful legal work they do and hope to do, in defense of all animals. Some wonderful stories! www.aldf.org

Souraya that was a fine thing you did to help those poor defensless animals, we all thank you for your kindness.

Purrley, good for you, you stood up to the bully. He doesn't deserve any kind of animals.

I am soooooo glad that you called!!! Hurrah for the puppies!!!! Please, keep us updated as you get more information. And tell your friend at Animal Control "thanks!" when you talk to her again.

[Daisy's Mom]

I just saw this topic too. Souraya, you definitely did the right thing. Thank you so much for doing it! You go girl!

[ilovehounds]

Corinna Im really mad right now I just read your post.

I hate it when a dog is a mans best friend and then when they get a girl friend and they don't like the dog its shoved aside, and the sad thing is when that man looses his girl friend the dog is going to be there to comfort him and love him untill the next girl comes along.

Ahhhh it makes me mad. Maybe you should call a German Shorthaired Rescue they might help you out more then the shelters would.

I love GSP so this really makes me mad.

Please keep me posted, I will try and find a rescue near you. In the mean time I would go with RachelJ advice, thats what I did with Copper I asked the man if he wasn't going to look after the dog to let me have him and give him the life he deserves.

Souraya, you go girl!! Like lizbud, I tried to post to this yesterday and was getting some errors. I'm glad that you called, and am surprised at how fast they reacted! It's really sad when you see animals being neglected. I definitely would have done the same thing, because it's people like us here at Pet Talk that have to speak for the helpless victims!! **hugs** to you and everyone that speaks up in situations like these. I know they can be somewhat questionable...especially if it's a neighbor or someone who knows it's you that did it, but I agree...I wouldn't hesitate...and like purrley said...I'd do it again!!! Please do keep us posted on what happens to the precious doggies!

BTW, has anyone watched Animal Precinct on Animal Planet?? It's great to see people fighting for the rights of these animals... http://animal.discovery.com/fansites...lprecinct.html

[purrley]

Wolflady - didn't know they had that on Animal Planet - I watch that quite often but I don't like Emer. Vets and Pet Rescue type shows because I can't stand seeing an animal hurt - but I like Cops and I watch operations on people - I'm I weird or what!

[Daisy's Mom]

Animal Precinct is a great show!

[Eudora]

You go girl! Souraya, I just read this post and you were brave to do the right thing. Hope those lovely dogs are rescued soon!!

[Corinna]

'm glad to here the good news , I know they will find a great forever home.
Thanks for all the ideas but it's all for not now . The girl freind got kicked out of the apartment and so the truck is gone ,heard they went back to home(Butte)to his parents home so at least he'll have a home now. He was a wire haired gsh I hadn't seen any for a long time. He did look good, even though he didn't get out much the guy did walk him twice a day.

I have been out of town on a business trip since Friday and got in late last night. Again, thanks guys for the support.

I just got off the phone with the adoption desk at the shelter. The GSD has already been adopted by a friend of Andrew who has been waiting for a GSD for quite a while. I guess Andrew told him about the pup and he went to the shelter on Sunday to adopt her. I called his wife as well and asked if I could come and visit. She said that they named her Orchid and that they are both very excited about having her in their homes.

As for the Malamute, the lady at the desk said that there was someone coming to check her out today and possibly adopt her.

I know the GSD has a great home and hope her pal does too!
