Location: The best kept secret in TX | That's how I got my bloodhound. Her entire litter was dumped on our road and a car hit the box... She was laying with all her dead siblings. She didn't say a word when my friend opened the box. Just looked up at me, looked around her, and kept trying to get up to our faces. She licked my face and I couldn't give her up. She had a broken hip but she's the best puppy I've ever had. Very sweet and quiet. Except when she snores in her sleep. I love that dog. |

Location: Sunny So Cal | People just make me sick! It make me upset when I hear stuff like this. But what a beautiful kitten! How could some one dump any animal. Makes me wonder what kind of person they are to humans. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | We live adjacent to the National Forest. I can't count the number of poor animals dumped out here. Some are too scared to come to us and likely end up coyote food. In the past year we have taken in a pregnant female cat (found the little kittens homes and spayed her), another kitten that has earned house cat status due to being adorable and more like a dog, a possibly beagle cross that my SO's parents kept and spayed, and a female Border collie/Lab/Spaz cross that we spayed and love dearly despite her over enthusiasm for basically everything and her desire to chew everything she sees.
We already had 3 barn cats, two 13year old heelers, and one weenie pup. We honestly can't take in any more and I dread seeing the next dumped creature on our doorstep.
We were planning to get a bloodhound once the two old heelers leave us...but now we have Ellie...and may need those spots to take in other poor dumped pups.

| I was getting my hair cut by a young 20ish girl who still lived at home. Making small talk and started talking about our animals. In the conversation she said "I wish my parents would get ours spayed because they keep getting pregnant and you have to go dump the puppies", like it was a nomal activity everyone did- no shame or embarrassment. I told it was not what everone did and there were other options- she just looked at me with a blank stare.

Oh lord...I'd have smacked that girl and given her a much needed education as to what usually happens to dumped puppies!
Either she has no empathy or she is dumber than a bag of hammers. |
