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.
If I dumped my dogs at a shelter and then find they’ve been killed, I wouldn’t have the gall to act shocked.
As usual, dogs suffer for the sins of their “owners”.
And good for you!
