| WTF is WRONG WITH PPL ~ Saratoga County Animal Shelter, Ballston Spa, NY I know these 2 are Maltese - But their story is heartbreaking and I am soooooooooo pissed My god, how in the world does a family to this????? They were good for 13 and 10 YEARS - BUT now they are tossed out like garbage ************************************************** ***** Romey (M) is 13 years old and Goldel (F) is 10 years old. They have always been in a home together and cannot be separated. They are both housebroken, good with older kids and other animals. Their owners brought them in because they had a new baby. Romey and Godel are very scared being at the shelter and would like nothing more than to be in a warm, loving home again. Adopt a Maltese: Romey & Goldel: Petfinder This pet is up to date with routine shots. This pet is already house trained. Saratoga County Animal Shelter Ballston Spa, NY (518)885-4113 |

| How can they just turn over their Pups? It's one thing to not be able to spend time and attention to the pups, but they knew they were pregnant they had nine months to find their pups a new home. The pups must be so scared! It's crazy cause most kennels won't let you leave a dog with them at those ages cause it's too scary for them, I can't imagine how heartless you have to be to do this. |

| This is something I just don't understand. I once saw an email with the usual we have had our beloved dog so and so for 13 years and recently had a new baby. We just don't have time for him anymore, and we aren't sure we can trust the two of them together, blah, blah, blah. He is up-to-date on shots, and we are asking a small re-homing fee...then at the bottom of the email is a picture of the new baby that they are wanting to rehome, and they are keeping the dog. Hee! It's obviously a joke, but it was a refreshing twist to me on what seems to be a common problem!

| This is what I don't get. That kid is going to be around for longer than 13 years. What kind of parents will they really be. |

| So sad! Our Sasha was in the same situation. Her previous owners had her for 13 1/2, maybe 14 years and then decided they didn't have time for her. I've emailed them updates on how she is and never even receive a response back...people are crazy sometimes...

| That is very, very sad. I hope that someone will give them both a loving home soon.
