- - I'm Going To Kill This Woman! (https://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/off-topic-discussions/71565-im-going-kill-woman.html)

Oh My God, that woman is a poor excuse for a human being. :mad: How could anyone possibly have a dog for 15 years and just because it's getting old and all the health things that go along with that want to kill the dog because of that? :thumbdown She'd better hope that the people around her care more for her than she did her dog when she gets old. Otherwise, she will get what she deserves. :exclaim: I think you did the best you could under the circumstances.

i would have went along with her to the point where yeah you should have bring him here and we can take her off your hands and took teh dog, cause i tell you she will be determined to get rid of it and i have heard lots of inconsiderate people say i will take him in the field and shoot him. its sick.

and they will do something with her i wouldnt no doubt it. thats so sad.

Well, someday God will see that she gets hers. My little Indy was 17 and incontinent. I just put a belly band and pad on him. Good grief, it wasn't that hard! He felt bad enough for both of us about it.

I hope someone shows her so much kindness that she is blown away and starts shaping up.

I wish we could have taken her too. But we are totally over packed and over our limit. When you're a no-kill you have to know your limits or you will become over run and you will lose the ability to even care for the animals you have. That's called hoarding. In order to be humane we have to know when to say, no. It broke my heart to turn her away but I knew I had too. And like I said, she would have never been adopted. In fact, I doubt she would have even lived long from the shock from going from 15yrs in a home to a kennel. No ones ever wants older dogs especially ones that pee in the house. I have 6 dogs of my own and I would literally have been kicked out of my house if I ever brought another critter home no matter what the circumstances.

Guys, please don't make me feel anymore guilty than I already do by saying I should have taken her.. Because I wish I could have..

I just had to talk about it to people who I knew would understand. I had to get it off my chest.

Remember that I hear and see these things every single day. And every once in a while I can't take it.

I walked out to check with them and give them our business card with our hours (I work at a private dog/cat rescue) and I was nearly knocked off my feet when the woman opened her mouth and started talking. I am going to quote her.. You won't believe this.

"Hi, we don't want to adopt your dogs. We want you to kill our dog for us."

me- "Excuse me? I'm sorry we are not a vets office and we are a no-kill dog shelter, is there a reason you want to put your dog down, are they in pain or sick?"

"No, she's a toy dog and she's 15 and I'm f'ing sick of her. I've had her 15 years and now she's starting to pee in the house so I want you to kill her for me. I tried to take her to my vet but he wouldn't do it because he says there's nothing wrong with her."

me-"So she isn't sick or in pain? She's just old? And you want to put her down because she's old?"

"That's what I said, could you go inside and call around to the vets around here and find out who's the cheapest to kill her?"

me-(dead silence) "I'm sorry but I refuse to aid you in killing your dog. This is going to go on your conscience not mine. You need to leave. If you want I can get our director and he can explain to you why what you're doing is wrong."

And they just walked away cursing under their breath... :mad:

..........

I walked back inside and started bawling..

We can only take in so many animals at our facility because we're a no-kill facility so we can only take in as many as we adopt out. And right now we are overloaded with over 75 dogs and several are being returned this weekend. One of them is a pitbull that was adopted 8 years ago! WTF!? (sorry for my language) And we have to try and take in animals that are adoptable because we're not a 'sanctuary'.

A 15yr old dog would never have a chance of being adopted and would probably have died in our facility from shock from being thrown from her 15years of being a family pet to living in a kennel..

How do these people sleep at night?

These dogs give their WHOLE lives to us.. They love us unconditionally with all their hearts.. And when they grown old.. the thanks we give them.. Is to kill them?

I just had to vent.. I can't stand it anymore.

that is so sad. that poor dog. They'll probably just drive out somewhere and dump her. :(
