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.”

I am pro-life, proof of that is all my kids are now grown independent adults.
I am also pro-dog, proof of that is there have always been dogs in my family, with the exception of 5 years in the Marine Corps, and my parents still had dogs at home.
I lived down the street near Garfield and Century until 1975. When I went to the place in 2010 to pick up a dog for my rescue it felt like they made no improvements since the 1960s. A total mess.
I was still living in Downey (by the Rio Hondo river) in 04 when I adopted my Honey Bunny baby girl, I was looking for my Pearl girl (she was 18 and quite senile).
I think my wife or son left the gate open and she wandered out, I searched for her for five months, she never showed up on any killed list or as a stray so I think the coyotes got her.
Found Honey while searching for Pearl.
They were holding Honey in conditions that would have made the Nazis proud in any Concentration Camp in 1944 Poland.
Those are a perfect, horrible examples of county bureaucrats doing any county job, including the GAS CHAMBERS.
Trust me; they would do it to you to.
DISGUSTING PEOPLE, DOING A REPREHENSIBLE JOB.
But payday is on the 10’th and 25’th of every month.
THEY DON’T CARE, THEY HAVE NO COMPASSION, THEY ARE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS.
If it were a just world, those bastards would have to go through the same SELECTION.
So it’s no better than when you were there, maybe worse.
