I had to write a little entry here for my buddy "Hank". I knew him just about a week, I knew he was sweet, we had little walks and talks. He was a gorgeous dog with dark thoughtful eyes. He had a cute tail that wagged all the time with little curls coming off the tip. He was just a mutt. Some sort of spainel mix I assume... small...sweet.
Black and brown. On wednesday no one else saw this in Hank... they made excuses. Excuses because they wanted one less dog in the shelter. It sickens me, he was taken so quickly, gone too quickly- before I could have done anything....... I was in a corner and I regret not taking him even though I would have nowhere to take him. He was a great little dog, that with some attention and a loving home enviorment he would've had so much potential. I cry for Hank because I keep seeing those big brown eyes, that wagging tail and puppy face with the little brown eyebrows...... and my heart sinks. I wish I could've done something, it was out of my hands.... I am horrified I witnessed a young pup be taken off to be put down for no good reason...
Kill shelters suck...... I tried, but Hank showed me the harsh reality of how they don't only destory dangerous dogs.. they destroy innocent puppies just waiting for their day to get out of the cage and play and roll around and be loved. I tried to Deal..... but I can't. I am quitting first thing in the morning. I can't work in a shelter that can do that. I can't be around people who can do something so heartless, justify it and then order lunch. Hank taught me a some lessons . No money in the world is worth that kind of heartache, and that People who claim to love animals and want to work with them don't have a clue how hearltess they are and appear sometimes.
I will never work at a shelter ever again unless they are 100% no kill. None of this only if aggressive to the point of unadoptable. BULLSHIT. I saw an awesome puppy dog leave this world today..........
Do not in any way support shelters that aren't 100% no kill. Don't take an animal to one.
I wish I had a picture of Hank to post- but none are available. He was a good dog, I assure you he was not dangerous. He just needed a place to chill, relax and call home.
Anyway, this entry is dedicated to my little buddy- who affected me so greatly today. Rest in Peace little Hanky Hank, I really wish I could have given you a home like we talked about on our walks. I love you, and miss you so much from the second I saw them take you......I will never forget you.
