Ok – I’m going put in my two cents then I’ll be quiet ( or at least try)! I’ve not been a member long so I may be overstepping my bounds but - What kind of person projects themselves as a “rescue” then proceeds to have a rescue put down? She gets on here and toots her own horn about all she has done but has not gone the distance from what I can tell. IMO when you take in a rescue without knowing the full background you are committing yourself to do everything in your power to help this poor baby – and she KNEW there were issues. If you KNOW you don’t have the resources to help then let someone who can do it. Yes – there may have been an expense in getting her to someone who is willing to help her - but if you’re not aware of all that it can cost, both financially and emotionally then you shouldn’t be doing it. Not to mention – I have had to have a feral cat put down due to illness and that wasn’t free. So she is willing to pay to have her put down, but not to get her help??? My gosh – on 5/19 she posted to a thread about someone wanting to place their Chihuahua because it nips. Her response was “Have you tried a trainer? You would be amazed how much a good trainer can help. Or even obedience training with a certified trainer ONLY”. When I got Bridget – from a rescue – I was told there maybe behavioral issues, and was asked up front what my plans were if they were to become an issue. I knew at that point I would have to be prepared emotionally and financially for the long haul. I can’t help but wonder if her own developed issues – would she then find the time and funds for the help it needs. I think it takes a special person to adopt a pet with special needs – commitment and dedication, and a whole lot of love. I think she has healthy dogs at home and never really bonded with this little girl like someone who truly WANTED her would have and would have gone the distance. Maybe her intentions were good – but her good intentions and poor follow-throughs may have cost this little girl her life – I could go on and on – but won’t – it is just very upsetting! I think especially after reading some of her posts and thinking she was sincere about getting Mindy help at any cost – I PM’d her and expressed my sympathy for how hard I thought this had to be for her…I guess she had me fooled. Thanks for letting me vent. |
This really is a heart breaking situation. It hits home especially hard for me. Unless EVERY option is exhausted, please don't destroy your dog. There is something wrong with Mindy, WORK to find it. If you can not afford to have all the testing and behavior specialists then give her to someone who can. They may find that nothing can be done for her, but they may find a simple fix that you can't. Don't give up on Mindy, she deserves better than that. |
I agree...I used all my savings and tried hard for Fizz...would I do it again yes!! I hope someone saved this one...I hate to think it ended on a bad note like this.... |
I am saddened and disapointed that Mindy will be put to sleep. Mommadog gave me the impression she was going to try everything to get Mindy the help she needed. She obviously had me fooled. I wish people would leave the rescuing to legitimate rescues. A breeder had no business rescuing |

I know exactly what you mean. She followed me around correcting me about training issues. I don't know if she was just trying to pull me into this web of disaster and playing with all of our emotions. This is just a horrible rescue disaster lead of Mommadog's lack of responsibility. Right in the very beginning, LJ offered to help but the offer was refused since Mommadog felt she could take care of this herself and was "experienced". There has been months of drama going on with Mindy and never once did she get the proper attention and the issues with her kept escalating. She continues to breed more puppies even while she had Mindy in her home with behaviors that where escalating. She has 2 litters of puppies in her home yet claims she has NO MONEY to ship MINDY but knows what the cost would be to ship HER PUPPIES . All of this information that she has offered within threads on YT and are not things that are being imagined by any of us. |
You know....one thing did jump out at me in her concern about this rescue. She said that she was afraid of being reported to the authorities. hmmmmm wonder WHAT she is afraid of??? |

I'm wondering why she has a $400 electric bill? My monthly electric bill is $50. What's she powering with that kind of bill her entire block :confused: It sure wasn't just her home. Makes you say hmmmmm |

My electric bills have been as high as $500. :( |

I don't think she is really going to put her to sleep. I think she said that out of frustration because she just didn't know what to do. At least I hope not. She cared enough to take her in and work with her up until now and I don't honestly think she will put her down. I really don't. |

You live in TX and run your air when it's 115 outside. She lives in WA where that would not be necessary. Maybe I am just thinking too hard. :( |
MY electric bill has been as high as $300 and Im in Indiana |
This makes me so sad. She looks like my Maddy. I would be willing to pay to help transport her to a trainer as well. Please reconsider -- please :( |

As for Mindy...not sure if she's still here on earth anymore but, I agree with LJ that that might be the better of the alternatives if it means staying another minute with someone like this. :( If Mindy is still here to be rescued, and the cost of transportation is truly the only issue then, I think there are at least TEN of us here on YT who could kick in $30 each and get this lil' girl the h@ll out of WA...what do you think?:thumbup: Count me in for the first $30... |

I just got an email from Karla and it sounds like Mindy is still alive. :confused: I've told her that we want to continue to try to help and am waiting on her reply. |
Wow!! Quote:
Wow. Judgement (instead of sincere, kind and effective help) to be passed around yet again! What does her power bill have to do with this?? And not only are these comments harshly judging her efforts to find care for this dog but now people are judging whether or not her power bill is appropriate? So random! As many of you I'm sure know, unfortunately Karla is no longer a member of YT but rest assured mindy is getting the help she needs and Karla and others are continuing to work tirelessly to find a rescue who will take mindy... Admin...looks like another thread that should be closed and another member who has gone to find help elsewhere...sad. :( |

At this point I give up! Maryeverette1 can hand this situation as obviously she is more capable! I suggest that everyone email or call Mary directly since her phone number and email address has been posted by her all over Facebook and YorkieTalk with her very generous and sincere offers of a shoulder to lean or and a great ear to listen :rolleyes: I do not need all of this stupid drama in my life! This is the most ridiculous thing that I have EVER been subjected to and will no longer leave myself open to this BS! :mad: |
