Don't want to imagine what she went through to be shaking this badly at the beginning. Some people are just evil. If you do not like animals, don't get a pet. Why get them just to abuse them? Makes me sad and angry to see cats, dogs, and other animals abused 😢

[@betsyj59]

The people who abuse their pets are abusive people - they also abuse family members or whoever is dependent on them. I would guess that a number of these people get pets precisely to abuse them. Others want the love of a pet but then at the first prick of frustration or disapproval or similar emotion, they immediately turn to abuse. You can't protect animals from these people and you also can't protect their own children from them... until after the abuse has been noticed and the damage has been done.

[@baileybug776]

This is how I feel when people rescue an abused animal, gain their trust just to give them away. It is abandonment all over again

[@sarahartz1721]

​@@baileybug776 It's not abandonment, it's allowing the best possible outcome (and normal life) for the animal. Think about it: if every abused animal was a foster fail case, there wouldn't be any fosters available to help other animals in similar situations. This way, another family can love them and it frees up the foster's space and time for the next one. And it's not like they're giving the animal away willy-nilly. There's usually a thorough interview/adoption process to make sure the animal is an appropriate and safe environment with its new owner(s). A foster wouldn't allow all the time and effort and love that goes into rehabilitation to mean nothing. Rest assured that it's all in everyone's best interest, especially the doggo 🐶

You seriously need to think about why of all the negativity in the world, you managed to find negative in my being touched by the kindness of someone helping fostered and abused animals. Unless your response to this is “I’m sorry for bullying someone who was trying to emotionally lift up some kind people doing kind things”, maybe just don’t reply at all and instead find something to praise instead of working bizarrely hard to find negative in someone saying something clearly positive.

[@pokerpariah]

What concerns me is that my logic believes it would cause more emotional harm to Mable to leave her foster mom. She’s slowly learned to trust again then being thrown into a new family and environment doesn’t seem positive for her development. I hope I’m just being naive as I want the best for Mable.

[@koreymalcomb4353]

Unfortunately, I think this would probably be WAY too much of a challenge for someone looking for a dog to join the family and participate in day to day life. They would probably give it a day or two, and when it didn't go as planned, they would just return her. At least this way, she can learn how life can and SHOULD be (and should have been from the start). So she won't have such a learning curve. 😊

YES!! This is what I was thinking. You do all that just for the "forever home" to be with someone else? a stranger that did not have that bond and growth with her. Its so stupid. If that was me, she would have been part of my family for the rest of our lives. I get they have to give them up to get others to help but its B.S. You HAVE to ADOPT in a case like this

[@Daniel-rd6st]

@@chrisb4944 Problem is, that means taking away the chance from another abused dog to escape the same hell Mable existed in. There are only so many pets you can have at your home. Fostering means to get a dog to a point, where it can trust a new owner, thats the whole point. And Mable has reached that point.

[@qa377]

Or Mabel should stay with her as a foster until someone adopts her - going back into a shelter could set back her recovery significantly. And then her new adoptive parents should come visit her and build a relationship with her a bit prior to bringing her home, to ease the transition.

We had one dog that was abused and had bad separation anxiety and when I came back from my lunch he ran up to me and bit down on my jacket sleeve hard and closed his eyes and started whimpering and that’s when it hit me, I spent the last 30min before my break hugging and petting him and that’s the most love he got since he came to us (literally 30min prior to that) and he didn’t want me to leave, never in my life was it harder to leave work

It's really infuriating to see what someone did to her simply because it's inside them to be cruel often because someone was cruel to them and they're just mimicking the behavior. An abuser must make someone bad and they create excuses to hurt someone on purpose. "They deserve it. I need to humble them. I'm going to teach them a lesson."
