Please Read: People are stupid and they suck and I hate some of them!

I just got off the phone with Clare from the Northwoods Humane Society. Seems that they got a complaint call at the shelter about someone who had 18 (yes, EIGHTEEN) puppies in the basement of their house.

Turns out this numbnuts was giving away puppies that were only 4 to 5 weeks old!

The animal control officer and Clare told this guy that they would help him get the females spayed so that there would be no more litters and when they asked him if he had told the people who gotten some of the puppies about spaying and neutering he said it wasn't his concern. They were, after all, JUST DOGS, he said. I don't know him. I hate him all the same.

So now the shelter has several new puppies with more coming in a few weeks.

I beseech you. PLEASE spay or neuter your pets. Even if you think they're going to be indoors only please do it for them.

Do it for

If you know someone in the Iron River Michigan area who is interested in a puppy please have them contact the shelter direct (906) 265-7387 or write me an e-mail.

Thank you!

That is the cutest post on DU, ever!! My kids want a dog--what breed/mix? Do you know?

Is all I know for a fact. The shelter may have more information.

in our little house/yard. Sure are cute though.

It's a shame that guy was such a douche bag, but the puppies are still adorable! :loveya:

I like the look on Taylor's face.

:cry:

what cute puppies.

I don't believe in the death penalty except for those who refuse to get their pets spayed or neutered!!!

So what, they're JUST dogs.

He said you might get one or two good ones in a lifetime. The rest are just dogs.

Hate him. So bad.

Those are some adorable pups. I'm sure they will all find a home in no time!

My ex got a puppy 8 months ago...I found out from my son that she kept him locked in a room ALONE 23 1/2 hours a day...she asked me 2 weeks ago to watch the puppy for a night as her landlord was doing an inspection, and she wasn't supposed to have a puppy...

So, I, not being a dog lover, said okay...she brought the dog over, (shihtzu, pomeranian, poodle mix...a high class mutt), and the dog had nails of 1 1/2 inches long, and hair so long that the DOG COULDN'T SEE...the long hair was matted, and the puppy smelled like feces...

I instantly fell in love with the poor thing...I called her in the morning, and asked if I could have it (I own a house with a yard & plenty of walking spaces). She happily said yes (obviously she had made a decision to have a dog with extreme tunnel vision, sorta like our son, who is with me for the same reasons).

So, the good news, is that "Quisp" (yes, a dog named after a breakfast cereal) is doing awesome...he was groomed last week, I walk him twice a day, and he is getting the love he so badly needed.

Here's his pic:



Anyways, your post reminded me of this whole situation...good luck with the poor puppies!!!

People, keep telling me stories of hope today!

Are a wonderful person. Thank you for not just turning a blind eye.

Wish I could take one. Wish I could take them all.

I mean that sincerely. I've met more "people/human(?)" who just toss a dog or other animal out somewhere to fend for itself. I'm not Xtian bashing, but the majority of these "people" are Baptist fundies who think the Lord put human here to do what they want to with animals. I try to correct them saying that we are to be stewards for these babies and for the earth. But, noooooo, then it starts "the Bible this, the Bible that." It hurts worse for me to see and hear about animal abuse and neglect than anything else! Please forgive this rant, this is a very sore subject for me. How I wish I could take one of those babies, but I already have four (from the pound. Blessings on all you who take a sweet creature into your life and your home.

I'm Baptist though I sure wouldn't call myself a fundie. I've been to Baptist churches in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and am now a member of the local Baptist Church here in small-town Oklahoma. I've never heard anyone at any of the Baptist churches I've attended say humans can do anything they want to with animals. It's always been stated that with dominion over animals comes responsibility. Part of that responsibility is to be a steward and to take care of animals. We're to follow God's lead and if he cares about the smallest sparrow then we are to do the same.

I have 2 cats and a dog. My cats are spayed, the dog isn't. The reason my puppy dog, Rufus, isn't neutered is because when he was hit by a car, part of the damage done to my baby was his testicles were crushed. I asked my vet whether he needed to be neutered and the vet said no. I trust my vet because he was able to put my pup back together again and make him just like new. I spent 5 weeks hand watering and hand-feeding Rufus, changing puppy pads and blankets every time he peed or pooped cos he couldn't stand up or walk. I washed blankets twice a day in order for Rufus to have clean, fresh smelling bedding. Poor Ruf lived those 5 weeks in a playpen the Baptist vet let us borrow. Heck, I even gave my first enema ever to Rufus when he became constipated 5 days after his surgery. The last time I was at my Baptist vets office to pick up a case of food my vet had tears in his eyes because Rufus was bounding around like a puppy.

The only lingering "problem" Rufus has is he won't get close to a vehicle that has it's motor on. I consider that a good problem since he now has a healthy respect for cars.

"God gave us dominion over the animals and we can do what we want" all the time. The BEST comeback, based on years of experience is to quote the Bible right back at them.

"The righteous man regardeth his flock, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." Proverbs 12:10

Then I ask how righteous they really are.

You have one of the best careers out there. How does one get into it?

no punishment is bad enough for someone who would abuse them

Yes people suck. I wish people would understand that when you get a animal it is for life. No butts about it, for life. Your responsibility


:mad:

If only my landlord would let me......

I have 3 cats and none of them have ever been out, but they have all been fixed.

There are enough unwanted animals in this world. If ever I want to add another animal to my life, I'll take one of the "unwanted" ones and make it "wanted".

Breeding is for purebreds only.

Cider and Dot have been outside but not since we got them. In our neighborhood, especially next to the busy street, I would be too afraid even if I did believe in letting them out.

Makes me want to be in Michigan. :(

I get to play with him on Saturday. It's too bad I can't bring him home, though.

kiss da baby all OVER!

sorry.

ahem.

(straightens shoulders)

Thanks for the smile. I really needed it.

"just dogs." Ick. I hate it when people say things like that. What a turd. I'm glad the puppies are away from that horrid person.

About a month and a half ago, some idiot dumped their female pup in our neighborhood. She went into heat and another idiot with an unneutered dog knocked her up. No one can afford to care and feed for her. Guess what? A neighbor called animal control and they picked her up yesterday. I was so upset. She was a very sweet girl and I hope someone adopts her.
BTW, those puppies are adorable!

Should be tracked down and made to pay restitution. Just like they go after deadbeat dads they should go after deadbeat pet parents and hold them responsible, too.

With my local Telco in the pre-Regan days and I saw a lot.

The one thing I'll never forget is having a Beagle "tree" my keyster.

I had to climb a pole on my climbers in a corner of a fence admid a shrub and couldn't get down bcause this sad-eyed hound was so starved for affection, he had to wait at the bottom of the pole for affection from a stranger.

Durn dog cost me an hour out of my schedule that day and 18 months of steak and bones.

That dogs are part of your 'pack'. They have the pack mentality. They can't be happy being alone. Of course, there are so many of them that just put the dog out by itself in the yard with no one to talk with or play with. It has to be a fate worse than death for some of them.
