Dog ownership is a lifelong commitment, but unfortunately, many people abandon their animals for nonsensical reasons or with no consideration for what happens to them. This horrible story is only one example of such cruel abandonment.
The Greenville, Texas, Animal Control Shelter recently received a 7-year-old male canine. What’s the cause? Because they were expecting a child, his owner assumed they would not have enough time for the dog.
Imagine the surprise and sadness this poor puppy must have felt after being snatched from the only home he had ever known. In addition to the worry of not being able to find a new family, he faced the possibility of being executed in the overcrowded shelter.
Fortunately, the Lone Star Dog Ranch & Dog Ranch Rescue intervened and covered the adoption price of $17 in order to save this adorable dog. They posted on Facebook to express their dismay and anger with the owner’s decision, unable to contain their annoyance.
In a poignant essay, the rescue questioned the owner’s actions and begged with them to consider the emotional toll it had on the dog. Was it really so easy for them to abandon a seven-year-old dependable friend? Were they remorseful of anything while waiting in line at the shelter? These inquiries served as a stark reminder of the devastating repercussions that such negligence has on helpless animals.
Despite significant bodily agony as a result of the turbulence, the dog, now known as Rooney, shown resiliency and compassion. He gradually adjusted to his new surroundings while remaining alone and attempting to cope with being abandoned.
Rooney needs a loving permanent home where he will be adored for the rest of his life, and Lone Star Dog Ranch & Dog Ranch Rescue is committed to finding him one. They want to put him with a family who will never desert him because they know what it is to be truly committed.
Though it pains us to think that Rooney had to endure such a horrific event, we find comfort in the knowledge that he is safe and in the capable hands of the rescue group. Let’s help Rooney find a new home where he will be accepted and loved for who he is by spreading the word about him.
