I live in Waco. Is that anywhere close to you? I know some people here who do rescue. I can get your friend's information to her and have her report the poor dogs anonymously if you would let me. She may be your friend, but that is cruel. Didn't you mention earlier that this is the second time she's had dogs? Something or someone needs to stop her from doing this to other dogs. Feel free to PM me if you would like my help.

If they are rescued, there may be more money available to help them.

I completely agree, Tears instantly came to my eyes. I cant imagine why someone would purchase a dog if they were not going to them the adiquate love and affection that is needed as well as all the physical needs. And here this person has THREE!!! These darling pups need to have a better life. They do not deserve this. I am sure your torn. But, its best for them. Thank goodness you discovered this. God sent them an Angel

I don't think Waco is anywhere near where I am. I am located just outside of NW Houston. I would love for someone to report her but if she does get reported she'll know it's me because obviously I'm the only one who knows about their condition, along with her sister and her cousin who lives with her as well.

And yes this is the second time she purchased dogs (all 3 within a 3-month range) The first time, thankfully her other sister 'stole' the dog from her and refused to give it back because she was neglecting it.

Could a neighbor or delivery person have reported the stench or the noise?

Regardless, I know it's tough, but reporting her would be the right thing to do. The medical issues are reason enough to report it. That house (and those people now) are spreading those germs. At the very least you could report it for public health reasons.

In a world where we all have to pick our battles, it's easy for me to say "pick this one!", but I'm not you. I know this decision is tearing you up.

I will ask my friend in the morning what can be done anonymously. I will let you know what she says.

Hugs,

I don't think it's noticeable from the outside of her place. She lives in the uptown part of Houston in the Galleria area (those who lives in Houston knows what I'm talking about) and a very luxurious apartment where neighbors are spaced very far apart (you basically have your own front porch) and plus she stays on the 4th level of the building facing a busy street. The restroom where she keeps these dogs is right next to the busy street.

We need another solution. She agreed to give them up like 30 minutes or so ago and now she says she wants to put them in an ad and sell them to get some or part of her money back. I don't even know what to do any more......

Rhapsody · 06-05-2007, 08:48 PM

I agree, Sweetie, I know it's hard, but either take the dogs from her and get them to someone who could help them. Or report them anonymously. This is so wrong, and these are creatures that can feel pain and sadness, they don't deserve this kind of treatment. Nothing does. . .

xBUTTERCUPx · 06-05-2007, 08:50 PM

I think I have an idea. Don't know if it's a good one or not though. She did tell me that she didn't report the dogs living there to the apartment manager. If I or someone with lots of guts call the apartment complex and tell them, they would have the key to go in and look and report it. But then that would mean that her sister will get evicted and get citated as well.

If she does place them in an ad; this is the oppurtunity to report annoymously. If anyone goes to look at these animals will be appalled, and thus . . . it will open up a new door to who reported.

Otherwise, tell her the condition she has them in is too poor, and she won't be able to recoup the cost. If anything she could get in serious trouble; offer to take them, then take one of these ladies up on the rescue option. Waco is only a few hours drive. . . or if anyone is closer that can help. . . Good luck, this just breaks my heart.

Maybe when she places the ad to sell them you can call her to come look at the dogs then report her.

Judy in Waco · 06-05-2007, 09:04 PM

I think that the "someone with guts" who will "call the apartment complex" is you! You wouldn't be discussing this if it didn't make you crazy. YOU can do this!!! I have faith in your courage. Call them, report it and tell them to call the police. The police will call the appropriate people for that area to take care of the dogs.

The worse that can happen is that you lose a friend. Hey, there are lots of us here who want to be your friend! You deserve a true friend.

xBUTTERCUPx · 06-05-2007, 09:08 PM

This is hard! I think I want to convince her to give them to a rescue and if that doesn't work out then I'll report it. How does that sound?

Judy in Waco · 06-05-2007, 09:20 PM

Personally, I would tell her that friend or no friend she is being cruel to them and that it is a crime punishable by law. I would tell her that "as her friend" you are giving her a head's up, but that if the pups aren't in a MUCH better situation in 24 to 48 hours I WILL report her, her sister, her sister's cousin and everyone else in that apartment who knew about it and didn't stop it. If she sees nothing wrong with how she's treating them, then obviously a third party needs to explain it to her.

Please keep us informed. I know your heart will tell you the right thing to do. Get some sleep and think about it.

Anna Banana · 06-05-2007, 10:30 PM

Oh dear...this sounds horrible. I'm sorry to insult your friend, but how dare she treat animals like this? Its illegal and just plain wrong!

Bad part about this is that I won't be able to come get them until Saturday because of all the exams I have until the end of this week.

Good choice, and good luck with your exams!

Maybe someone else on YT would be willing to come pick them up from her house so that they don't have to wait so long being neglected?
