​@galefromwaterdeep this is becoming a major issue with designer breeds as well. A lot of desired breeds tend to have health problems like chihuahuas or even for cat breeds too. My partner's aunt bred the absolute hell out of her maine coon cats, it was horrible seeing the state of the females. One the females ended up snapping and attacking her really badly and she just had enough and was sent to another owner. Poor thing wasn't a bad cat she just wanted to be left in peace. She's my cat's mother. In the UK maine coons are up by 300% in shelters now cos people can't afford their healthcare cos they tend to get problems with their hips. They're such beautiful and affectionate animals it's heartbreaking.

cuz if done right the puppies are put up for adoption when their instincts tell them they are independent. if not done right the puppies and moms have alot of emotional distress for awhile. my ex had a cat who was taken too soon from his mom and even at 3 yrs old he still acted like a kitten in some way while a kitten i had raised from birth but stayed with her mother until she was a few months old dont have any of those behavioral issues.

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

I adopted a dog years ago on her scheduled euthanasia day. I immediately took her to the vet BECAUSE she looked to be too skinny (she was a Golden retriever) and the vet said she was ok. My vet didn't even know she was pregnant. Five days after i adopted her, she gave birth to seven puppies!!!!🥰 What a surprise for us all. My $45.00 adoption fee was for eight dogs! It was a joy to watch them grow up until their new homes. I made sure they were housebroken beforehand, BECAUSE i would always take them outside with their momma. I put all seven puppies in a laundry basket and carried them outside and gave my Australian shepherd/Chow mix command to watch the puppies. It worked out great. Of course I was outside with them too to make sure the puppies didn't wander to the road.

It's BECAUSE irresponsible People that think it's ok not to neuter or spay the animals... ...and they breed like rabbits... 😱 Then the dog/cats get "thrown" away because these People get bored taking care of a pet! 😭

[@magical571]

it's a necesarily evil so long as people keep having pets. I know dog lovers on the internet are all perfect and they will say i'm wrong and that they, and each of their friends adopted 87.648 homeless dogs in a year, but in reality ALMOST all dogs that you see homeless, had a home before.....should we teach people? of course. but let's be real for a sec. Nobody will ever win against the "puppy eyes". dogs are so inbred nowdays to be as cute as posible that you will and always will have people adopting then ditching them once they realize how much they eat/bark/poop/bread etc. Pets should be way less common, only for those willing to neuter and have a chip on them. But "oh no that's not natural" people will just let the doggos breed like bunnies, or straight up abandon them once they grow, or they get tired of having to walk them and pick up their poop three times a day lol. i see it as the merciful way to have less dogs around period. Rather have that than 9 generations of homeless doggos. specially on poor areas were they grow agressive and end up hurting people on the street (i know, some people here who have the privilege to say "oh a dog would never harm unless provoled", they have never had the experience of crossing paths with a pak of angry strays. it happens a lot in more vulnerable areas of the world)

When we got my dog the shelter we got her from had just gotten her from a different shelter so they didn't know much about her. They did say that it looks like she was heavily bred. She was also only 1-2 years old at the time. We made sure she knew that she was no longer a mama and that she got the chance to be a baby. She's our spoiled little girl now who loves to cuddle and loves treats. She's such a sweet dog that we decided to name her Joy and we always like to say that she is a joy to have around.

Because if they didn't they'd be even more overcapacity with a lot of puppies that need socializing and potentially around the clock medical care. It's awful, but what else are they supposed to do? They don't have the food to feed them, or the space to house them. Shelters are struggling.

[@trevellyann]

'No space' is not a ridiculous reason. Public animal shelters are obligated to accept EVERY dog and cat that comes through their doors. They have limited space, limited money, and limited staff. Eventually something gives, either the space, the funds, or the number of hands. There's too many pets being abandoned, stolen, or looked after irresponsibly (and thus getting out/running away) and they end up there. The shelter can't take in infinite dogs.

We need more people like this young lady right here . Having everything a dog needs with no conditions and unconditional love for the dogs so they are safe and sound while looking for a new home 😉.

Such a beautiful face. We had a pitty when me son was a baby up until he was 10, she was so loving, gentle, funny and I nicknamed her facey, she was so pretty. I miss her...

Such a sweet momma and babies. God bless you for saving their lives. I guessed that they were 8 üuppies. I hope they have a great life and are treated well

[@lauraansara5066]

Ty for saving her and her babies

[@cohiba1217]

I’m crying at 6am, thank God for you.

I have NO patience for kill shelters. Killing for convienance is NOT acceptable. There are so many wonderful shelters who do everything in the power to foster, adopt, recruit volunteers, and I have helped at some, including on a small island. Is it really hard, and at times overwhelming, yes. Pitties are my favorite, and I have had them as family, and rescue fosters. I am however grateful that she was rescued. Her and her sweet pups. Thank you, thank you!

i mean.....adoption shelters are also a shortcut, for the peace of mind sure, but a shorcut nontheless. We shouldn't have dogs in such avialavility in the first place, way too many dogs all around, and unless neutering them becomes mandatory 100% and you cannot have them younger than the apropiate age for that, then you will have this issue forever. I see kill shelters as a mercy in this situation. Adoption shelters are just picking up the crumbs, and not even necesarily fixing the issue, since again, they get abandoned or they breed like bunnies regardless of them being bought or adopted, it happens either way, since with puppies to have to wait a little bit to do the operation, cannot be done day 1. I know internet dog lovers will be like "me and my friends adopted 4.865.429 dogs in six months, u wrong" but that's just not realistic.

Las Vegas has 900 dumped dogs in the shelters as we speak. 1/2 are pit bulls. Not enough fosters & adopters...what are they suppose to do? Every city is overflowing with abandoned & surrendered dogs & cats due to runaway Govt. Spending which is causing inflation.

[@partariothegoth]

they don't kill for convenience, and even if they do everything in their power to foster and get dogs adopted, in the end, if they didn't put animals down they'd become equivalent to a hoarding situation. I hate kill shelters too, but they are not the problem, they are , sad as it is, a necessary evil.

[@hadla]

There are only so many homes and spots in shelters available… if people spayed and neutered, it wouldn’t be such a big problem!

[@trevellyann]

Public animal shelters are obligated to take in EVERY cat and dog that goes through their doors. In large population areas, that's THOUSANDS of animals every year. They have limited space, limited funds, and limited staff. Space to house dogs, food and medicine for them, and people to care for them, they don't appear out of thin air. Every large shelter works with as many fosters, rescues, and volunteers as they can find. But non-kill rescue groups often don't take hard (or impossible) to place dogs, dogs of certain breeds, or with certain health issues. They have the luxury to decline taking on a dog, a luxury public shelters do not have. No shelter kills for convenience. You've clearly never actually worked in any large animal shelter, because you are incredibly ignorant about them. They would LOVE to not have to put any animal to sleep. It's literally not possible. To not put them to sleep, they'd have them stacked dozens of dogs to each 9 foot kennel and the place would just be a cesspool filled with parasites and diseases (as they very often are on those little islands you speak of). The world isn't as simple as you clearly think it is. Learn a little more. You really need to.

Thank you so much for saving these poor animals. ❤❤❤❤

Those eyes 🥹😍 I cant

[@robertharrison4419]

I wish the world was exactly like u and your huge heart

[@mirkkasalo5868]

Killing place is not shelter. Thank you for saving this good motherdog and her puppies 🌹

[@mandyhutchins4598]

These so called shelters should never put a dog down. Shelter means shelter not a killing zone.

[@lisabelle7553]

Yet a a 68 yr old man in Türkiye rescues and cares for 500 dogs and 100 cats all by himself and no government support. Abdulkerem. Our "shelters" were designed 50 years ago by counties as "animal control"..ie:places we send unwanted pets to be killed. Fact. I wish all the useless college kids protesting over nonsense like pronouns, actually protested the county shelters killing 20x the number of healthy animals compared to any other western nation.

[@ktkchu]

What would be your alternative when there are 15+ dogs coming in every single day either surrendered, found stray or dumped unlawfully outside the shelter and you are running out of room, not enough people are signing up to foster, and you don’t have enough funding from your council/local government? Honestly, tell me what you would do

[@andream9470]

Unfortunately it's become a necessary evil at this point because humans continue to not take responsibility for their animals.

[@ktkchu]

@@andream9470 yep a symptom of hyper consumption and capitalism

[@kmccarthy3760]

Shes in the best care ❤❤❤Thankyou

[@hothotheat3000]

The staff protecting her with a jacket so she wouldn’t have to stand in the rain was so lovely. I cannot imagine having to euthanize a dog, much less a PREGNANT dog. Pray for the staff who have to do that, I cannot imagine how they feel going home after that. What a depressing job.

[@michellemyallen]

All the love to you and all who gave up their energy and time to grace a mom with her babies!! The grandest gesture! Thank you.

[@GenXfrom75]

They’re sick for euthanizing a heavily pregnant dog. Really. 🤬 Happy she was saved. ❤❤
