My husband and I live in S.E. Pennsylvania. We have a rural, fenced property. We are not wealthy, but our pets always get a good quality food (Iams) and medical care/shots as needed. Our 2 dogs passed from old age back in 2017. We currently have 2 cats we adopted from our local Humane Society. We like bigger dogs, like German Shepherds. We have prior GSD and Irish Wolfhound breed experience, as we have owned both breeds personally over the decades. My husband has been training & showing dogs for about 40 years. What you got, what do you need to know, & how do we get started?
People got the dogs during the pandemic and now they can hit the bars again, so they don't need them. First of all Dallas needs to get with the program and have a no kill shelter and a network of fosters like we have. (Reno, NV) I am so proud of our system.
Reno has kill shelters... and not every dog can be "rehomed" to.forever homes for an array of reasons. I foster, rehab, and train dogs the issue is the cost . Puppies have the best odds . But when you have this 1plus year old dog thats large, no training, not potty trained, health issues, cant be around other animals, kids, or have guests over they arent adoptable.
This is terrible. There are resources to help those families in need before surrendering your pets. An animal is for life. Please share this to local Facebook pages and national FB pages who help to rescue before these animals are euthanized.🐾😢
The issue is most of these dogs are bully breeds. I work with shelters and I rehab, foster, and train dogs. When you have this full grown dog with no training, lack of socialization, aggressive tendencies, they are no longer adoptable to 90+% of people. These kinds of dogs are usually only capable of going to single, childless, never have a guest over, have no other pets people.
I always had Yorkie, took good care of them two lived 18 years old. I got the African Gray parrot; she was speaking two languages fluently; my mistake, had to go out of the U.S. left her with the people I knew, she was pleased because she had adult sons & all loved her before I left, told the lady of the house not give her anything except her food & fruits she liked, they gave her everything they were eating? I told her when she is out of food, my brother has my checkbook and has excess to my account; when I came back, she told me, she fell on her gages, took her to her doctor, she had a blood test Xray complete examination, her kidney failure-after a year, still, crying for her? I wonder how people could have no heart? Now I can not find African Gray, and all those people are going to church? God will never forgive them for being so cruel to the animals who can't talk?
I'm going to start asking the people who are real human beings & have kindness in their hearts. This is going to be my mission & will make the impossible possible?
Whenever I want to purchase a tiny kitten with short legs & grown to be smaller, the line appears on my screen; why buy it? Give the home to the homeless. Yesterday, I went to one cat shelter; they didn't have a kitten but had a cat, one year, it was what I wanted small with short hair; the girls were all friendly & helpful. Of course, I'm very polite, respectful, to everybody, down-to-earth, when I leave, always hug grills or men, thanks them, wherever I go? Then the old woman came to the room. I was sitting. I looked up saw her, like a statue standing infant of me, told her she scared me; I stood up introduced myself, shaking her hand, never said who she was, with my application, in her hands, most of the time, she couldn't hear me, it was like, I was going for a job interview, I had never adopted a cat or dogs, dumb ass woman didn't believe me? She kept asking me something that never came to my mind, asked me yes or no; my answer was, I don't know? She was a bitch; I changed my mind right away; if the woman is that stupid, she couldn't tell the people's personality, from the way they meet & their, body language, which I'm very good at it? She didn't have enough manners, or she didn't know? When I stood up, shaking her hand, I introduced myself; she should do the same, not even mention her name? The question she was asking me wasn't in the application, I said to myself, no wonder the cats they had youngest one girl though is nine months, the rest 3 to 5 years, anyway, I thank all, girls, including the real foolish woman, wishing all a great evening & the weekend, as I was leaving, the woman said, she has to go somewhere, came out with me, I went to my car, she went to her car, she just wanted to know what kind of car I'm driving? I'm very sharp can tell. Then she got out of her car, went inside? I came home, called them that I didn't want the cat! Then I thought I never had anything for free & now don't want to get for free; my point is, when the shatters have a woman like her in charge, no one will adopt any pets? Was precisely I had a job interview? Even for a job interview, no one would ask the questions she asked me; I had to say yes or no? My response was, I don't know? I noticed one of the Shelter's Problems is hiring people who put them in charge of looking at applications, asking such stupid questions; shelters first have to teach those people good customer service, having to make sure they can hear, why should she care what kind of car people driving? Not many people can afford to drive the latest model cars, but they are decent & caring people? I'm not talking about myself; did she see what kind of car I had? But those shelters or even people should not Judge anybody by their cars or appearance; I hate who are that stupid-narrow-minded people.
I have never seen any dogs or cats abandoned on the streets, anywhere I have traveled or lived? That super-rich, regardless of handing money to them, or took it by force, & the people worked hard for their money or Hollywood actors & actress help as much as they can in each States, cities, near that States to build animals hospitals, clinics, that people can take their pets to neuter, vaccines, need medical attention, those poor dogs, cats, along with their puppies, kittens are abandoned, in cold or hot weather Hungary, thirsty for water, is the best thing any human being can do? Or throughout days, cats, from their car window, cut the dog's ears, break their legs, set the fire & burned the poor dogs, have never seen any people or abandoned puppy, kittens on the street. The government pays the people to be homeless; please, people think those animals cannot help themselves. My heart cries for those poor dogs & cats,
I hope you’ll be able to get a dog soon! All your efforts will pay off in the end, fur babies are the best! Maybe you can try fostering in the meantime ^^
Go to a city shelter. The drive my be longer and out of the way. But you have a better chance. I been to a place that a person looked at my apartment and was turned down. Some even want your yard with fencing. You're going get turned down if you never own a dog and most people ended up buying from breeders. I know is stupid.
@@rollzolo Yes, I missed a call from a shelter for an interview. They left a voice mail. I have own dogs most of my life but I knew I'd be turn away bc my place is not big. Regardless, I still take my dogs out for exercise, hike, and walks.
Shelters must investigate the people's background to see they didn't have criminal records, didn't have any violence, should designate some people to go to the area they live, asking the neighbors about the people who want to adopt the cats or dogs, find out about their children, from the neighbors, about their financial status, make sure most of those people are employed, call their employers, make sure can afford the animal medicals? Last year, I saw the homeless man with dogs, or when Biden took over the office on every intersection in each side, at last, were ten people or under city bridges in each side ten people, one time brought the woman on a wheelchair, Baby & the dog, in hot Texas weather, I felt sorry for the dog? The hell with the rest? They had a choice to stay where the hell was living? But the dog had no choice; it had to be out in the hot weather; why Shelters should allow the homeless to adopt the dog? Where do they have money to take the dog to have a vaccine that needs medical treatment? Do you all think those people who sleep under the bridges would pay to take a dog for the yearly vaccine to veterinarians or any medical treatment the dog needs? As long dogs cats are out of the shelters? But the shelters are responsible for poor animals; when their dog is sick, they abandon them. Sorry to say that, but putting them to sleep is better than those poor animals who suffered. In Korea, China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan & other places in the Far East, people eat dogs & cats; meats one time, I asked the guy, who was an electrical engineer, was from Korea, usually Government highers the outside contractor, he told me that dogs & cats meats test like Chicken when they have a particular company, to respect their company, they kill dogs. In that countries love dogs & cat meats, why don't shelters export them to those countries instead of keeping them in tiny cages or giving the poor dog to those who abused them? The poor dogs & cats don't have to go through a miserable life? All the countries in the Far East have a shortage of food; somebody could have contracted with all Far East Countries & export dogs & cats; they have slaughterhouses. Like all over the world has slaughterhouses. They bring the meats in the market, selling the dogs or cats meats to people. It's nothing wrong with it & I don't think it is illegal if they go by the law. The shelters are getting more animals, which is not unhuman; put them to sleep; is it better to keep them in those tiny cages? Or export them, to those countries, in a way helping the people of that countries not to have the shortage of food?
People should have thought before getting the poor animals; stupid people should know having animals it's a lifetime responsibility, poor animals can't talk. Don't get animals or get animals to be responsible for them? They get sick, need to be vaccinated twice a year, have to neuter them &, etc.; people are getting those poor animals. Should they think about the expenses? It is expensive to have pets; people can't afford to pay? It's the Government's responsibility to create an agency with the budget to build animal clinics, Hospitals in every state, & cities nearby free of charge, with the latest equipment, good veterans & reliable stuff. Like many countries in the world, Who are those stupid people suggesting counseling the pet owners? Are they crazy? Those ignorant don't know counseling is not working? Have such a ridiculous idea? Are those people are out of their minds? Instead, they should ask Government to build free hospitals, clinics; those ignorant don't know people no money to spend on vets. It's costly, that's why they abandoned puppies, kittens all over, those dumb people should leave them by the animals shelters not dumped them in a deserted area, garbage dumpster, or put all in the plastic bag & toss them in the dumpsters, don't watch the news like I was before; I watch abandoned dogs, cats, puppies & kittens; I never knew there was & still is such savages living in the United States. Couldn't they call it human? It's cruelty to animals; I can't watch it anymore? I start crying like a baby? The government doesn't care about the people? We shouldn't expect nothing from the Goverment?
I’ll correct the headline. Dallas shelter needs help adopting all the different mixes of Pit Bulls. Expect the dog bite and kid attacks to go up in the next few years.
People now returning dogs they don’t need anymore 🥺it’s horrible 😭

Shit! I am 4 dogs and a pig deep since the pandemic started. I can't help much more

please do not kill them find good forever house for them
Send them to the northeast. We take any and all strays and will find homes for them.

I can help I only have one dog!!
The shelter in dc is also crowded but we never euthanize for space.
For all the people/new homeowners buying houses with back yards, they should market those sweet dogs to them.

No need to update this story. Won’t change until people realize the commitment involved in being a responsible long term pet owner
It's so hard to adopt though. I genuinely want to adopt a dog and never get responses bc I guess there are waiting lists.
I hope you’ll be able to get a dog soon! All your efforts will pay off in the end, fur babies are the best! Maybe you can try fostering in the meantime ^^
its better to go in person to adopt a dog
Go to a city shelter. The drive my be longer and out of the way. But you have a better chance. I been to a place that a person looked at my apartment and was turned down.
