Lela Was Put Down This Morning
 

I just spoke to the animal control officer and Lela was put down in Bladen Co. Animal Control this a.m.

Can you explain ? I am not understanding?

This thread will explain but basically Lela was in a shelter.

:littleang:littleang:littleang

I can't look :(

I feel so sad:( for her.

You did what you could do. Poor Lela...this is sad beyond words:(. R.I.P.

It's heartbreaking. She looked like a sweetie. Thought I'd add this to your thread.

:thumbup: Always a good reminder.

They sure didn't waste anytime, did they?
It tears your heart out, stories like this one. No pup deserves
this.

Keep on breeding! Every pup born takes away a home for one
that's already here.

This is so sad, and one of the reasons why I'm an advocate of only supporting the best of breeders. Dogs who closely resemble a standard are much more likely to go to a rescue and get adopted. I believe that people who just want a pet should go to the local pound, these dogs are on death row, there are also breed specific rescues if you're in love with a specific breed, and only want a pet. I believe that you should only buy a dog from a breeder, if you are 100% behind their breeding program and you believe that the breeder is doing their best to improve the breed.

That is so sad..:(
Rest in peace Lela.

How terribly sad.

There\'s an excellent article about how to transform this country\'s shelters: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-new-post.html

Well, I had spoken to Sylvia over several days to see if there was anything she could do on her end, and she said no. She had too many as it were at her property and the rescue she worked with had four at a vets office and a boarding kennel had five. Lela was shy, so she was considered unadoptable by the shelter! Neither the boarding kennel nor the vets office wanted her. They don\'t train difficult dogs, Sylvia said.

I have to ask myself, all these groups that come out of the woodwork, screaming foul when someone like Michaelf Vick dog fights, and rescues his dogs. Trained fighting dogs that needs months of rehabiliation! And they just turn a blind eye to the suffering of shy dogs in shelters? I think dogs know when they\'ve landed in an Auschwitz for animals! This was a high level kill shelter.

YOU DON\'T HEAR A PEEP OUT OF THOSE GROUPS!

I\'d tried calling the shelter over the four days previously to see if I could work out with animal control an arrangement for me to get the dog. I left messages and never got an answer, nor did I get anyone to pick up the phone until today. And that is when I got the news that he\'d put her down along with four other dogs the shelter considers unadoptable.

I was upset to say the least.

Poor sweet Lela may she R.I.P. So sad that today there are going to be many more suffering the same fate.
