I think it's Dump-A-Senior-Dog month or something. Its incredibly frustrating.
Merlin & Ginger
Merlin & Ginger
This pair is 10 years old and have been together their whole lives. Their owner tried selling them on craigslist. She is going to allow us to take them into rescue, thank God, but what kind of person just up and dumps their bonded pair of seniors? I dont get it.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is an 11yo blue merle Aussie and she's sitting in a shelter here in this photo. She's obviously confused and probably more than a little terrified. She's in a New Spirit foster home now, so she's safe. But again... 11 years. Wow.
Ruby
Ruby
Ruby is an 11yo Australian Shepherd who just landed in rescue. Beautiful gal with wonderful manners.
Are you getting the drift here? Dogs are for life. It's a committment that shouldnt be broken as easily as opening the car door and driving away, or tying it to a shelter door handle in the middle of the night. What kind of person are you if that's the way you treat your friend after they give you a decade of loyalty and love?
It makes me sick.
*Note* All four of these seniors are rescued and coming into New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue immediately!
