Over the years I have fostered & cared for a few animals. Pregnant cats, dogs & even guinea pigs… Neuter your F***ing animals!
It’s so heart warming to help animals, but it also reminds me how stupid some humans are… The difference between animals & humans is that animals can’t lie! They can’t cheat, they can’t manipulate. The entire Eco system has been resigned to the fate of the human race. Evolution is supposed to take thousands of years & at the rapid expanse of human development, the rest of the planet seems to suffer. Anywho……
Over the past week I have looked after one beautiful Pitbull Momma. I was only supposed to be assisting with transporting the dog from Calgary Alberta to the B.C. coast, however, when I got her she was not quite matching the description I was given. This dog had clearly been used for breeding. She was pulled from a kill shelter in the states & spent more than a year in another shelter waiting for a home. When she was brought to Canada, apparently, i’ve now learned, she had incorrect paperwork. When I was able to get the paper work it stated ‘intact’ meaning not spayed! Well, her road trip came to an abrupt halt & I booked in for spay at a local vet. With an unclear answer from the initial rescue, I felt it was better to be safe than sorry & there was no way I was letting this babe be used for another litter. The USA shelter has sworn she was spayed & I am still waiting for the correct paperwork! She’s definitely not the age listed, they say 4 maybe 5, however, she’s definitely pushing senior… She limps in the front, has bully hips, broken teeth & may or may not be spayed. People when rescuing, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Get their papers & get them vetted.
I also have come to not like the person chosen to adopt this girl. I reached out to this person to discuss her health, he wouldn’t call me & would only text. He seemed unconcerned with her health and only cared about her arrival date. He acted as if adopting her was some huge inconvenience & yet, myself & the local foster were the ones doing all the work including delivery. Also, I searched this person on the social media & he’s been trolling for free dogs… RED FLAGS!
Since the adopter seemed unwilling to assist with any vetting expense, I was willing to front the bill for my new pal, but, I’m also not exactly rich, so, I decided to reach out to a local private rescue for some help some advice! Well, was I ever shocked by the response I got, & really not impressed. I was told that by assisting these animals, I was enabling people to ‘continue doing what they are doing’… If so, would that not be true for all rescues who take in these animals? In my opinion, a life is a life & when an animal comes across your path that needs help… you help the best way you can… no? Weird response to hear from a rescue… As a rescue, it should be obvious that these animals come into the world one way or another, from one location or another & a rescue is a rescue, right? Oy.
I also offered a helping hand with a gorgeous German Sheppard, zero complaints about this guy other than he is not neutered. Please people, shelters are over run! Stop back yard breeding & puppy mills! Stop it!
I’m going to sit here & drink my coffee and scratch my head until I figure out what is wrong with humans! This may take awhile… & i’ll probably end up with a bald spot…
