YT 2000 Club Member | Just when you think your done adding to your four legged family..this happens... I will try and make this short as possible My neighbors have a dog that they keep outside at all times..Ive mentioned them on here before. (it looks like a over grown tri colored beagle, a coon hound maybe?) she is a sweetheart that is very unloved.. he wanted the dog, she didnt. She is about 4 or 5 years old and has been not taken care of at all. She has never been to the vets, has fleas, worms (she has pooed in my yard before) and hasnt been fixed.. and has always been underwieght, she is only fed pretty much when the feel the need. She barks all the time and instead of giving her the attention and food she needs, they bought her a shock collar. She barks at the burn barrel because she knows that is where they burn thier garbage. She gets loose all the time, gets in our garbage and has at one time attack and killed one of our rabbits. (needless to say no more rabbits outside). I dont blame the dog, she is just hungry. About 3 weeks ago, they got a new puppy.. a s**tzu... at that time I was told by their boys that because they spent all of thier money on the new puppy that they didnt have any food for the outside dog.. so I gave them some. They have told me numerous times they dont want the dog (outside) anymore so they are gonna try and "sell" her. Today she had been barking and whining all day (we live just yards from where she is kept) so I wandered out to her with a handful of dog bisquits to give to her and what I saw brought me to tears. She is tethered to her dog house with what appears to be a bungee cord, its a only a few feet long if that, she can barely lay down, she is sitting and eating where she poo's. She is shockingly skinny.. I knew she was thin, but up close, I couldnt beleive she could even stand. I could see her spine, her hip bones and count her ribs. She was loving all the attention she was getting. I took some pics with the camera on my phone and sent them to my hubby as well as called him, he is not one who eagerly welcomes new animals but he was appalled and said that he would go over and talk to them tonight about us taking her. I dont think they are gonna say no..I have attached some pics. I will update again tonight.. if we will be welcoming her into our family, if they do say no, I will be calling the police, I will not allow her to continue to suffer.. they probably wont do anything about it,like before but its always worth a shot..its better than doing nothing at all.. I could only get one to post and it doesnt show much..sorry..I will try again later

| That poor, poor little girl!! Thank God you're trying to help her. I'll be saying prayers that they turn her over to you tonight. If they don't, please do whatever it takes to get her out of there ASAP - she can't exist like that much longer. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help...bless you!

| You need to convince them to give her to you. She is starving.... OR you need to report them to animal control. This is heartbreaking |

| I hate people more and more every day. I know that some fool will copy that line and say how awful I am, but I simply don't give a **** anymore what some of the people say. I will say a prayer that they turn that poor baby over to you. If they don't, you need to do whatEVER it takes to get her away from that hell hole.

| Keep us posted regarding what happens when your husband goes over to talk to them. That is just disgusting and beyond words. Once again~not one but too "breeders" not giving a cr@p what happens to their dogs after they have a pocket full of money! Make me sick!

| So sad -- your pic shows enough -- all those belts around her neck, and then a bungee cord to the house. Poor thing. I cannot stand people doing this to animals. What can they possibly be thinking? Dogs want ony to love and be loyal and to have them treated this way is just disgusting. I sure hope you get her tonight. I can imagine it will be a quick turn around once she gets some daily food and love.

YT 1000 Club Member | Please keep us updated! That is just horrible. I can't believe people do that to their animals...they are the ones that need to be starved and see how it feels. I so hope they give her to you.

YT 2000 Club Member | Update!! Thanks everyone for your support!! She is ours!! It went very smoothly and they really didnt hesitate to say yes. It was literally a 10 minute converstation and they are glad to see her gone. She even told me thanks for taking her. Anyways, I wont be getting her untill tomorrow. I gave her some fresh food, water and loving this afternoon. I will go back out in the a.m and take her. My husband and I have agreed that because of us already owing so many animals that we are going to just foster her, get her healthy and happy and see if we can find her a new loving home that will take her hunting! It will be months before that happends though. I will keep you all updated on her progress...

They have been reported before a few years ago and nothing was done. Apparently they knew someone in the business..
