[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Another Dog Moves in

Posted: 1/21/2002 6:51:25 AM EDT

Yet another asshole has dropped an unwanted dog off in my hood. The wife found him saturday. In the cold and rain. We cleaned him up and fed him now trying yet AGAIN to find a good home for a dog.

What kills me is he is a puppy. less than 1yr old. Obviously an indoor dog. Seems very submissive and has almost no outdoor instincts. How can people do this to their pets? Hell mine are part of the family not just a pet. In fact i like mine better than most members of my family.

Sorry, had to rant. I'm really getting tired of becoming the local dog pound. This makes #5 in the last 6 months.

What kind of puppy is it?

Some kind of mutt. Has the colors and howl of a beagle. But a head like a St. bernard or maybe a pitbull. He is VERY submissive and freindly. If i didn't already have a house full of dogs he would be a keeper. He's kinda got that personality that grows on you QUICK. he can sit, shake, and seems house trained.

PS i'll try to post a pic

LOL!

When I first read the thread title I automatically thought another democrat had gotten elected in your area and was "moving in" to office.

Can you tell where my mind is at? [:D]

What really pisses me off is this never happens in the summer when the weather is good. Only when it turns cold. I guess these guys are christmas presents that didn't work out.

Well it takes all kinds, so the story below should not surprise you. There are a lot of mean people out there, but fortunately there a lot more good people than there are mean ones in this world.

Los Angeles Times: Where to Bury Abandoned Babies Debated

LOS ANGELES
Where to Bury Abandoned Babies Debated
Children: Woman has laid 48 infants to rest in Riverside County. But funeral
directors have another idea.
By GARIOT LOUIMA
TIMES STAFF WRITER

January 21 2002

Debi Faris says she remembers the story of each of the 48 children she's buried.
Since 1996, she has been recovering the bodies of murdered and abandoned babies
throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties and burying them
in her private Garden of Angels in Riverside County's Calimesa Cemetery.

"Every child has a story," said Faris, 46, of Yucaipa. "And every child is given
a name. We give them a proper burial service to build a circle of love around
the child. The children belong to all of us."

Only an idiot would assume that dropping off a puppy in the contry would be a humane way of taking care of an unwanted house pet!

Having lived a great deal of time in the country, myself, I can tell you that the fate that awaits most discarded dogs and cats is a whole lot more unpleasant than what might occur to them at a city pound.

At least at the pound they have a reprieve of 48 hours or so within which to get adopted, prior to the needle plunge!

Most farmers I know would simply shoot an unknown dog that was not marked, identified, or licensed in some way.

And I know how they feel. My very first FFA project ('Future Farmers of America' for you cityslickers) was raising 50 'fryers' for a profit! About a week or so before I was to take them into the local [i][b]Schlachthof[/b][/i] (that's 'slaugterhouse' for you non-Huns), a feral dog got into the pen and killed every single one of them - didn't eat more than one or two, but killed the rest anyway!

Of course, he died for his sins, but mostly because while my family's survival didn't hang upon the profit that was lost from the dead fryers, some other family's might have been if the dog had been let go!

Whether it was 50 chickens or 500, that dog would have killed them all!

Yep nice and sunny. It's down in the 30's at night but has been raining hard all weekend.
My biggest worry about him is we are over run with coyotes and a few large wolves. They have been know to drag off the unsuspecting dog.
This poor dog doesn't even know what another animal is. Last night my wife had her love bird out and the bird and dog were actually playing together. I kept waiting for the wife to scream and i'd find the bird had become a scooby snack. But the mutt never even tried to go after it.

OK, some of yall know, when it comes to dogs, I have to say something, (its R35s wife)

Deffently a hound mix..looks like possible beagle/basset mix? Thats what I think anywhos.
I commend you so much for taking the dog in...I would look on the net for a rescue..or possilbly a no-kill shelter..I would find a rescue for all dogs considering hes a mix, some rescues only take in purebreds....try www.akc.org, they have lists of rescues..since I believe he is a beagle mix I would contact the Beagle Rescue...if they cant take him then they should be able to point you in the right direction...I would so offer to come get him...but..i just took in two pups not to long ago that were thrown out..

I wish you the best of luck,
xoxo's to the dogs from R35's wife and the furrbutts!

P.S. If i can help in any other way please dont hesitate to ask [:)]

The Humane Society is your answer. I use to volunteer at the San Diego location years ago. They aren't the city dog pound - they only put down animals that can't be adopted out because of major problems that can't be trained out of the dog - like those that come from the dog fighting circuits. Typically we'd ask for a donation of $30 to $40 to take the dog in but it was only a suggestion. That normally helped pay for the vet's fees to get them their shots. When we'd adopt an animal out we'd charge the buyer a bit and refund about 75% if they spay or nuetered the animal - which we also gave a discount for.

I saw dogs kept there for more than a year because they had a chance of being adopted. Never drop an animal off at the city pound unless you tell them you'll adopt the animal back if the owners don't claim it.

thanks for the suggestions. We used to work with the birmingham Basset Rescue, but they turned out to be a very questionable bunch. The human society here very rarely has space to accept any dogs. As for multi breed rescues i have not been able to find any in the state.

As for the bird. My collie mix likes to sit in front of the cage and drool. The bird moves and jake is ready for a snack. [;)]

Looking for an update on the dog, any good news?

What a sweetie! The dog and YOU. [;)] Looks like a Saint Bernard to me. I don't see any Pit Bull there. I used to live in the country and I've adopted many, many dogs that folks just dropped off. They've been some of my best and most treasured friends. I agree that this one looks like a keeper, BeerSlayer. I think you should just throw a blanket down on the bedroom floor and get used to it. How about the name Baron or maybe Barnie? [thinking]

A few years ago some idiot had a bunch of puppies he didnt want. This rocket scientist put them in a bag with a brick, tied it shut with a lengthy rope, waded into the Wabash river and cast them out. Unfortunately for him, the rope tangled in his feet and pulled him down river. They found him dead, tied to the bag. Sounded about right to me. I have had to dispatch some dogs, but who the hell tries to drown them.

I heard once that dogs are angels, both a gift from God and a test from God. Dogs show love in a genuine way few people can. This is the gift. When people are cruel to dogs, they will be judged accordingly.
