well...all bets were off..she give-up
responsibility & the right to BITCH
That about it?
ps. Is it Joe Pro Bono who has the doggie ping list?
Since the email in question wasn't included, we can't judge whether this was an appropriate response.
Wow Dr. Ridgeway.
With a response like that How could I ever trust you with my babies?
Stone cold hearted.
Just go on being yourself.
Euthanize the vet.
Saves some time in the long run.
As fond as i am of my pets, some of these uber pet-lovers, particularly women who don't have children in the house, is to be a little creeped out.
Dogs are not human. Maybe that's a good thing, but they are not people. They are not children. They will not be a substitute for people, although go ahead and try.
Ticks me off when I am regularly scolded for getting a pure bred dog from a reliable breeder rather than a shelter dog from dubious origins. My choice, friend. Go adopt the whole shelter and prove how politically correct you are! A friend of mine adopted a greyhound type and the dog seems to be untrainable and crazy--
I've adopted my share of strays and shelter pets. Mostly it worked out.
Now someone wants to dump a dog in the shelter, "can't make out"--and wants to demonize the doc who works the shelter? Loser. You could have worked with a lot of organizations, you could have done the work yourself like I have when a dog did not work out for my family.
The other thing is, only homeless pets end up at OCAS, not pre-owned with a history. I have no clue why she would have taken them there. They should have gone to the humane society.
I mean, you’re going to get all kinds of “kill the vet” from the righteously pet-obsessed, who want to create a parade of their luv for dogs...
There are dozens of reasons an animal may be put down, the owner dropped the dogs of, their responsibility ended with that action.
The vet should have just ignored the email.
Okay, that was a nasty email from the vet. I’m sure he’s a real treat to work with and madly beloved by everyone he knows.
But what did the erstwhile owners expect? If you release control over your pets, you get what you get. They should have done a better job finding homes for the dogs.
Joe 6-Pack is doggies, Joe Pro Bono is graphics meister.
There’s something missing from this story.
Hey, Ridgeway; I read your email and I have a suggestion for you. If your hands are so sore from working so hard why don’t you just EUTHANIZE YOUR SELF.
I have relatives and acquaintances that I'll give away before my dogs. Come for my dogs or my guns and be prepared to bleed - a lot.
It's not a free boarding house.
What can anyone expect from someone named Shawntae.
Totally unwilling to accept responsibility for her dogs.
Send her a bill for the drugs used to put the dogs down.
I wouldn’t move to a place where I couldn’t also take my dog. Period.
Animals have unconditional trust in their caretakers, The owners broke that trust when they put their whims above their commitment. Then they want to blame someone else for what they did? It’s like blaming the abortionist afterward when the guilt sets in.
My daughter left behind two dogs when she moved away from home. We couldn’t handle two, but I refused to place one at a shelter. It took awhile but we found a home with children in the country for her. The owners should have known better.
