It's best they let her go - the kids were DRAWING on her! We can't shame people for keeping and mistreating, and then shame them for giving them up properly, and then saying don't get them in the first place. See how that is a vicious trap?

[@1999Torii]

@@She_Tried_Iti don’t think it’s bad that the kids were drawing on her, i don’t think they meant any harm. However, they should be educated that they shouldn’t do that. For example, I had to rehome my cats bc i became allergic to them after like 5 years. They stayed with my dad for some time and i had to remove them from there bc my little bro (2 at the time) would try to hug them and would end up squishing them and they didn’t like it. In turn, they would defend themselves the only way they knew how, causing a lot of crying and bleeding. He meant well, he was just trying to kiss and hug them, but he was too young and uncoordinated. Now that he’s a little bit older, he does so much better with the cats they have now. He understands that he can still love on them, but in ways they can accept

They also didn't seem to understand that you have to up the amount of food as a puppy grows, which is why she was hungry enough to drink antifreeze in the garage.

Sometimes people don’t understand what they’re getting into with puppies especially. It’s good that they have her up. I don’t think from his description that they ABANDONED her, I think they surrendered her and that’s a huge difference. Surrendered means you understand that you are not going to be good to or for the animal and THAT is the responsible thing to do. This pup obviously was NOT left on the side of the road which is the evil thing to do.

[@mermaidtingzzz]

The first nap together is special. That’s when they know, even if they still have to make adjustments they know and you know you’re bonded for life.

[@DerpDevilDD]

Absolutely. It's so great to help an animal feel at ease in a new home. Because if you feel safe enough to sleep, the environment is safe enough for sleep. And if you feel safe enough with them to sleep, they know they don't have to worry about you attacking them.

What is wrong with people! How can they abandon such a wonderful little creature? You're amazing for rescuing these precious lives!

[@HSK.Lerner]

I think I saw the video of her on his channel and the mother called him or someone. I don’t know whether it was with better intentions or whether the mother felt the puppy didn’t „fit“. Either way, this is way way better for the little dog, how could it end up with coloring on it’s fur! 🙄 Makes me kind of angry. I understand kids are difficult to supervise non-stop, but the dog is a baby itself. Horrible children, I‘d explode 🤯

[@greensun1334]

It's the same thing, at least for me and most other animal loving people. Pets are our children, full worthy family members. People who think different simply don't deserve a pet and shouldn't be allowed to keep animals! Animal cruelity needs much harder punishment by law.

Celebrate people for saying they can't do it and giving them up properly and or throwing them in a trash can.

A dog is a companion, not some kind of drawing book or toy. Bless you, Lee for rescuing Poppy and taking her in. She is so lucky to be in your life. A little tip for beginner dog owners: when you get a tiny puppy, have them lay on your lap and they’ll calm down a little. Also, treat them like cute children and not be evil.
