Fugly...that's his name!

[My Peanuts]

I only saw the revised version. I'm so proud of you guys for taking initiative. I swear if I was able to have another dog or was looking for a dog now I would adopt him out of there in a second! He deserves better.

I've been looking at their available pets...

They haven't had the opportunity to investigate the age & gender of this grouchy dog??

I hate to say it but it almost seems as if he's too aggressive to be adopted out. If they can't get close enough to determine sex then what will he do in a house with kids or even adults for that matter. It's sad. I hope I'm wrong.

GAH!

One thing I learned about how to check a dog's sex when your not to sure, and while it's not to glamorous, is feel. If someone flipping held him while another person ran a hand down his belly they'd know. It's not to hard and it's not like dog is going to be scarred for life by it. That shelter doesn't look good at all.
I'm assuming that he's to matted or fury for them to see visually.

It said the same thing about "Fugly."

It said the same thing about "Fugly."

It said the same exact thing? WOW, that place needs to be shut down.

[critter crazy]

they updated the site and changed his name!! however they dont say anything about the dog!! its just a huge appology!!

[dogzr#1]

Aww, that's very sad I feel sorry for him. He doesn't even know what's going on. I think that place should be shut down, for lacking treatment on an infected eye, giving harsh and false descriptions, and not able to determine the gender of a dog.

i'm glad to see they changed his name and the description, but they need to put info about this dog instead of saying sorry.

back when i volunteered at this shelter(3 yrs ago). it was a clean, nice, pleasant place to be. they do have a high adoption rate so i don't agree with those who said they need to be shut down. a lot has changed since i've been there and the people that run the shelter now ran off all the people that were running it "for the animals".

i highly doubt that this dog is getting the vet care he needs for his eye. the shelter doesn't have a lot of money and fundraisers aren't super succesful.

i'd like to also say that i am VERY proud to be a PT member! i'm glad to see that there are members that are willing to call and/or e-mail abouththis dog that lives no where close to them.

[critter crazy]

i just sent them an e-mail!! they need to stop caring for animals!! there ads are cruel and not very informative!! they make jokes, and dont seem to care if these animals get adopted!! i am very upset!!

[Chilli]

Thats really very unprofessional for a humane society to do!
They've already changed his desc. and name before I saw what it actually said.
I, personally, think he is a BEAUTIFUL dog, and if I had the right home and such (and no other dogs), I certainly would consider him.

[zoomer]

Poor guy I can't believe a shelter would do that I thought shelters were supposed to be good... That is just.... HORRIBLE

I agree!! There is no info about him now

[elizabethann]

Have you read the descriptions on some of the other dogs? Boy, whoever writes them has a weird sense of humor.

[shihtzulover850]

I want to cry for him!! That is terrible. I didn't read all the bad stuff. All it said was they apologized. What did they really say about him??
