So mad We got new neighbors and they have a jack russell. This poor little guy has been locked out in the backyard, chained up for over 12 hours now, no food, no water, no shelter. I just called the police as it is apparently a police matter. They are coming out to talk to the owners and then to me, this guy is a bag of bones and I don't know if I would get in trouble if I just went over and got him. I just want to go bring him in and feed and water the poor guy. You can see every one of his bones.... |
God bless you for caring more for this dog that anything else! And thank you from all doglovers here. Bless his little heart! I'll be praying for him that maybe they can get him out of there - wouldn't that be great to get him to a shelter where he could get a real home with love and food and vets? Thanks, again. Great lady! |
That was a kind thing you did by not looking the other way as so many do.:) |
When the cop comes over to talk to me I am going to tell him if they can't/won't look after this guy to just let me take him. I will find him a rescue or something. My heart is just hurting for this little one |

Good for you for calling the police and not turning a blind eye to this suffering pup. |
I just went out there, and fed and watered him. I gave him a can of food then I gave him some chicken jerky treats, and dumped an entire bag of kibble on the ground. The lights are all off in the house and I am wondering if I should go get this little one....since I reported it to the police I probably better not.... |
Oh, that poor little guy! That is awful!!! |
Just talked to the police again they are on their way right now. This family has gone to bed and just left him out there.....we get fox and other mean little critters out there.....I sure hope they let me take him.... |
That is terrible! I know it probably wouldn't be the smartest thing to do... but I would be the type to go get the dog and bring inside, at least for the night. Poor guy. Thank goodness he has you to care about him. |
How sad poor little one |
The State police just left. The dog is inside now and they guy said it was not out all day....BULLS**T!! Cops are aware now and they told him that the neighbors are dog rescue people as my neighbor on the other side of me was here to and she works at the local shelter, they would be dumb to do it again. |
That little guy has a savior and he doesn't even know it. Thank you for getting him food and water and caring for a little one in desperate trouble. If I were there I would give you the biggest hug in the whole world. You are an angel and I am pulling for you to save this poor little dog. In some way, I believe you will help him eventually - even if they won't let him go at first. Once the police see his condition, they will get a talking to and either do better or you will have the police on the phone again and so on. Oh, I pray things work out for a real life for this little baby. Thank you again so much! Words can't say how much I applaud your actions!!!! |
We had the same situation a few years ago and the SPCA said they could not go in because the gate was locked. So, until they moved my husband lowered food and water over the wood fence to these dogs. Sometimes its just hard to get anything done. I wish we had animal cops like some of the cities on Animal Planet. I reported some starving horses about a mile from us and they told me they checked and they were not starving. I told her my dad raised Appolosias(sp.?) and I know what good hay looks like. Those horses were starving. Makes you so mad you can't hardley see straight. People are just ignorant. Maybe by some chance they would let you have the dog if they didn't care anymore than that about him. Hope so. Good luck and bless you for trying. |
Oh Shannon how awful ! You are such a good person to get involved. My Granny's highest praise was, "When God remembers you did this, he will smile." |

The sad thing is that he still probably won't be cared for very well. I mean just because they took him inside doesn't mean they'll feed, water, worm and care for him... If he was a bag of bones, he should have been removed from the property. :confused: Poor little guy. You did a good thing by calling authorities. I wonder if you would contact animal welfare if they would go check on him? Possibly remove him from the home. |
We tried the animal control officer first and were told it was a police matter. The cop when he came back last night said the guy had told him he had not been out there all day, he said he was had just changed the dogs food to something cheaper and the dog was not eating very well so he was going to change back. He also said he is going into the peace corps in about a month and the dog would be going to his brothers place. The cop told him I had offered to take the little one if they couldn't/ wouldn't look after him, he declined. The cop said to the guy, it is fine to have the dog out for a while, but not all day and make sure he at least has water, the guy said Ok uh huh I will. I think they saw me over there feeding the dog and decided maybe they better bring him inside, when I went over to feed him the lights were all out in the house so they had gone to bed and were just going to leave him out all night. The good news is the cops said, yes he is skinny, but I saw dog food in the house and the dog was laying in a bed in a kennel in the house.....so I guess that is good..... |

Ugh! Going into peace corps and cannot even treat a little dog with compassion, leaving him out all day without water or food. Shameful! I certainly hope the brother has some compassion and love for dogs and will give him a real and loving/caring home. Love is not enough - an owner has to care for a dog, too. I applaud you more than I can put into words for doing all that you did and watering/feeding this poor baby, calling police and being his angel. Hopefully they will do right by this little thing until the move and we can only hope and pray a better future is in store for this little JRT! |
LOL ....I was on my way home from work tonight when my hubby called and asked me if I wanted to speak to Trooper Darling, I said ok, he proceeded to ask me what was going on and why there was dog food in the neighbors yard (I dumped a bag of kibble out there for the little guy)They called the cops and said "She called the cops on us last night so we are calling on her today" the cop just said I think this is a waste of State Troopers time. He told me he knew I was doing it in the best interest of the dog, but I am not allowed to go feed him anymore....... When he hung up with me he told my husband he was going to look at the dog and see what kind of shape he is in. I do not know how that turned out, but the dog is not outside.... |
Oh, maybe progress is being made here. I'll bet if need me you can sure sneak that doggie food in the night in a more subtle manner should the need arise! Thank God for your intervention in this little dog's life. |

Well, they could say it but without anything to prove it was you and you're saying their words are just retribution for you trying to help their starving dog keep from dying, pictures of which you have showing its bones and reports to the police, nothing would come of it but some trouble - and the dog's life is worth it if you saved it some dire hunger pangs and misery. I would feed the dog under the circumstances that you had and be proud to do it. Still, TV has a point as long as the dog isn't so bad off. |
