Heartless family leaves escaped dog at shelter, adopts new pup

A California family is being hounded on Facebook after they were caught on camera doing their dog dirty — getting her all happy and excited to leave an animal control shelter and then adopting a new four-legged best friend, instead.
Heart-wrenching video posted on Monday by a worker at the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control center in Downey shows the German Shepherd, Zuzu, frantically wagging her tail and barking for joy after spotting her despicable owners.
The pooch had gotten loose — hopping the family’s backyard fence and then escaping into their neighbor’s yard — and was picked up by Animal control, according to the worker.
Zuzu’s owners arrived at the shelter a short time later, but not to reclaim her like the staff had hoped.
“Doing Dog Intros we got [interrupted] by a distracted and overly excited Zuzu,” Desi Lara wrote in the video description. “With her fast wagging tail seeing her owners Zuzu lite up like a Christmas Tree. She looked like the happiest dog. Yeah, she’s going home. But No. Talking to her owners they told me they were not here to reclaim her, they were getting another dog.”
The family had apparently grown sick and tired of Zuzu because she had been “crying and sad” over the death of her father.
“She wasn’t a happy dog anymore,” Lara recalled them saying. “Their solutions for her unhappiness was just leaving her here! And go get another dog.”

Lol!
Typical liberal.
Need new children to indoctrinate so they can grow up to be like the previous children that were psychologically destroyed and destabilized.
and the bassturds at the shelter gave them another? That is despicable too
I would expect this kind of remorseless, heartless, soulless emotional detachment from a sociopath or psychopath. period. I am concerned for the children being raised in this kind of environment.
You are 100% correct. This is even bad for Californians though.
One was paralyzed - died on Xmas day, another had suffered a broken jaw (fixed), another had a fixed broken leg... and our recent addition is the most lovable rescue that was found wandering outside...this rabbit loves to be snuggled by my wife.
No cages, they have a large pen in the room & are allowed to roam daily...every nite getting a small pc of carrot (you should see how excited they get)
So you think losers who can’t handle responsibility should have kids? Mmmmmmkay....
“The Downey shelter has less than a stellar reputation among rescues”
That seems to be putting it mildly. One almost thinks an investigation by the state’s charities bureau might be warranted.
Poor doggie was GRIEVING over the DEATH of her father.
Just hold her & pet her a little for HEALING. - Do unto
others as YOU would have THEM do unto you.
The tender mercies of the wicked are CRUEL.
LOL
” Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don’t harrass them, don’t deprive them of their happiness, don’t work against God’s intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your apppearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us! “

Only because it’s been revealed.
I’m wondering if the shelter put Zuzu down right after the family. So many shelters do that kind of thing, especially to cats.
We have a chocolate lab who will be 11 next month. She is family and we would never consider abandoning her. In fact, she’s lying right next to me in her office bed. I’ll never understand how someone could be so heartless as to abandon a family member in such a callous manner.
Well it fits with liberal CA values—sick people.
I rescued my boy Astro from a kill shelter three years ago. He’s a pit/lab mix, strong as an ox and acts like a 100 lb. puppy, and was a stray. Animal control picked him up in a shady part of town and brought him to the shelter. He’s part of my family 100% but he’s a runner. If the backyard gate is cracked an inch he runs, if the front door is open to bring in groceries, he runs. He just really likes to roam.
I’ve had complaints from neighbors, animal control and my wife about him. I can’t even think of getting rid of him. We just have to be very aware about open gates and doors.
We even tried the invisible fence route, it doesn’t phase him. I guess the stray in him wants to be free!
And while no one was watching, there’s actually a FR Drinking Game for this.
Straw man much?
These people are scum bags. Abortion is much worse. So? It is also worse that someone punching you in the face and stealing your car. That does not mean you don’t care if that happens.
Yeah, I have heard of this.
It’s no wonder though. Someone always shows up to try siphon emotion and sympathy from dogs.
They just can’t stand it.
