It really REALLY angers me when parents allow their children to abuse animals and treat them like a toy that can be kicked around. But I am so happy that this sweet little angel is doing so much better and is now in a loving and safe environment💚🐕

My dog was surrendered to our local shelter bc she pooped everywhere... she was 8 weeks old. IDK what ppl think puppies are gonna be like. Idk how she didn't get adopted sooner bc she's perfect, but she was 5 months when I adopted her. And was still a ton of work lol. We worked together so much and went to classes and puppy playtime. She's amazing. Perfect. She'll be 12 in November. I can't believe it's been that long, she's still just my little baby.

“Wasn’t what they expected.” What, because puppies being needy is something unheard of? What exactly DID they expect? They sound like they just wanted a babysitter for their (seemingly) unattended kid. The only decent thing those people did was humanely surrender her. So glad she has the life she deserves now. 💖

[@e-spy]

I adopted a beautiful norwegian elkhound from the pound. The couple who had her were divorcing, and this poor puppy of 6 years was broken. Her nose, her back, had been broken from abuse. She didn't know how to play with toys. It took me 2 years to be able to reach out and pet her without her freaking out. But she was the BEST dog I ever had, saved our lives twice and helped this single mom raise two children. She was my soulmate, had a sense of humor that rivaled my own, and she gave the best hugs. She passed at nearly 16, and though a dozen years ago, I still miss her. I feel privileged to have given her the life she really deserved all along. Oh, and we buried her with her favorite toy, a snoopy on top of his house.

This pup initially acted like she was placed under 8 weeks old and didn't get enough time with her mother and siblings, and then thrown into a new household with immature unsupervised kids. I think she blossomed from your affection, and from the pack, she learned "how to be a dog" and to trust you.

[@moosedawg71]

Wouldn't surprise me if it was a puppy mill situation, they tend to adopt out the pups WAY too early. In fact, I am of the belief that 8 weeks is even a bit early. I favor 10-12 weeks. That extra time with mom does wonders for the demeanor and instincts.

Exactly! When I was 1 my parents got me a puppy which consisted of them taking care of the puppy and me learning about how to treat animals and what I should NOT be doing. Worked with dogs for well over 30 years now and that small start at just 1 was the critical foundation of it all, if I had no corrections I would most likely still be an utter failure.

They did the right thing. Sometimes people don't know what they're getting into. It's good to turn the dog over to a rescue group. So many just dump their dogs off in the street, at dog parks, in the middle of nowhere, not caring what happens to them. These people were responsible in making sure the dog was safe. It's still a puppy, too, and a full breed, so she'll be adopted quickly. She'll be ok.

[@danielcurtis1434]

Do you have children? Cuz 5 minutes of distraction and suddenly the kid had attached razor blades to a ceiling fan. Kids are a liability. The solution is this idea destroyed by Uber liberal ideals is called “education” abd constitionalism. See in the 1700s we had a new idea, instead of picking a great rich family and deciding that god decided to crown them king on behalf of humanity, we would rule!!! No what we can’t up with is this (not even really paraphrased: Basically they believed that every man had inalienable rights to self defense religion and such natural rights given in the context of the strength of man. Then in order to secure our own rights, we actually give the federal government the right to impede our rights (so long as it doesn’t contradict the constitution [I don’t think we read brackets anymore]. The idea is the government only exist as much as we need it to operate and live our lives (best form of government). But just hearing this concept of god directly empowering people sounds like to me like it should have started a religious revolution in Europe. I mean I get there was the Protestants, but they didn’t have issues feeling their way around.

@Jessica LanSpe You might also add rabbit to this list: my niece ended up with a rabbit at age 8, and I ended up taking it and raising it for 8 years. Sure, they are sweet and cuddly, but their care is not unlike boarding a small horse, with all the hay and bedding they require. Also, unless you are prepared to own a pet which may live long enough to see your child go to high school, do not feel the temptation to buy your child a pet rabbit.

[@truthseeker6584]

@Jessica LanSpe So very true! If you are a dedicated parent with a lot of time and at the same time a real knowledgable dog lover it might work with a younger child but otherwise it will be traumatizing for the puppy. But no matter how many time a parent has I would never recommend a dog for a toddler as no toddler is capable of learning enough to treat a dog correctly.

[@truthseeker6584]

@@LadyGreyBlack I couldn´t agree more! I bought two rabbits when my son was 4 years old but they were MY rabbits, I cared for them until they died - one even reached the age of 12 years. The rabbits were a wonderful oppurtunity to teach my son how to correctly treat animals. Under my supervision he was allowed to pet them and he loved to feed them and he helped to clean their cages. They ran around a lot and he watched their funny behaviour. One of the rabbits loved to listen to stories - whenever I read a bedtime story to my son the rabbit came, laid down at the side of the bed and stayed there as long as the story lasted. She never did that when there was no story read.

[@naomiarram5187]

For anyone thinking about getting a puppy: Heads up!! When the litter is all together with their mother, they sleep and spend their days all jumbled up together. All warm and snuggly. When a puppy gets taken to a new home, they often cry - especially at night - from cold, fear and loneliness. Many families (even good ones who don't colour on their dogs!!) get frustrated, the crying is difficult to hear, and they think there's something wrong with the particular dog that they've gotten. When in fact, all they need to do is let the dog sleep with them for a few nights, until it gets used to its new surroundings. Lee doesn't tell us why Poppy was crying, but that could be the reason. And being a hound breed, it was probably a lot of howling. So that may be why the family surrendered her. All she needed was some snuggling. But guess what? It's just as well, cuz she'll have a waaaayyyy better life with Lee!

[@KittyMama61]

At night we would keep our pups in a snuggly box right next to our bed, with a toy and a ticking alarm clock. When they cried, I would snuggle them just like I would an infant. It didn't take long to become one of the pack!

We had just lost one of our dogs who we had for 20 years, she came from the pound… he said yes immediately. He called me and told me and I couldn’t wait. I got home from work and he was sleeping next to my husband in the bed with the rest of the boys… he woke up and started barking at me, and I talked sweet to him, and my husband said that his face changed immediately and he thought “ Oh, there’s a mommy here.” He was my boy from that second.
