Over Rescue Mom

I rescue dogs to give them a better life.

[over-rescue-mom]

I decided to be brave and take the two little ones to the dog park today. They pretty much ignored me and just ran like they were on fire. This was our first real trip. Only one injury. My hand Cleo bit my hand going for the rope. No real blood. I think I'll live. We also went into Tractor Supply and got lots of love from my coworkers. Bailey was not thrilled with the shiny concrete floor. But she did good.

Alright guys. I have a desperate situation I heard about today.

There’s an Australian shepherd that needs help bad! His owner never feeds him or waters him. Today it reached 94 degrees. Many people have called the cops about this baby but no one will do anything.

Tonight I’m going to get pictures of him and plan on taking them to the sheriff myself. If they still won’t do anything I plan on offering the owners some money for him. If that back fires. I’m at a loss.

Can anyone help me with what my next step should be?

Rescuer Writes A Perfect Letter To The Jerk Who Abandoned This Dog

Dear The Callous POS owner of this dog,

Today we noticed a couple of emails from people that had noticed your dog that had been abandoned on 15th ave and Excelsior ave. After looking at date, your dog had been sitting there since Saturday morning at least. It was 3:00 pm today when we finally noticed the messages because we have been so busy. We decided to drive over and see if we could help. Sure enough there he was.

He waited for you.

He hadn’t left the place you made him stay. He was being a good dog. He stayed close to the last place he saw his favorite person in the world. He thought you were coming back. He was watching every car that would come down the road hoping it was you coming back for him. Your dog has been freezing, hungry, and scared for days because you are a heartless piece of crap.

He waited for you.

He was so hungry that he was eating sticks. Nice people had stopped to drop off food but he was still so hungry and confused. But even with food sitting in front of him he knew he had to wait for you to come back.

He waited for you.

He isn’t a bad dog. He is a very good dog. You were a bad friend. You abandoned someone that would give his life for you. Someone who doesn’t care how long you stayed away at work. Someone who is just as happy to see you if u just go outside to check the mail or if you leave for days. Someone who would lick the tears off your cheeks and the leftover food from your plate when u were done eating.

He won’t be waiting for you anymore.

After he was seen for day curled up in a ball on the road you left him, we came back for him. We came back with a fellow rescuer named Yvonne from Raven’s Rescue BullyBreed Sanctuary. It was getting dark and we could hear the coyotes in the distance. We sat there for hours. We talked to him. We sat there singing to him. We fed him and offered him a banket.

Your dog ate from our hand after hours of throwing him wet food. Your dog finally came closer to us as we laid in the cold dirt telling him “everything is going to be ok and this is the last time anyone will hurt you”. Your dog finally let me pet the top of his head. Then behind his ears. Finally he didn’t run when I scooted over and sat next to him. He finally laid down and allowed me to give him belly rubs. He let me put a leash on him and didn’t try to run.

He didn’t panick until it was time to leave. He wanted to wait for you. He refused to walk to the van. I carried your huge dog to our van; your big, gentle, scared, and loyal dog. I carried your dog away from the last place he saw you. He howled the whole car ride to our shelter. He howled the most painful howl I have ever heard. It was the sound of his heart breaking. He desperately tried to get back to the spot that you left him. He frantically checked every window then watched out the back window as we drove away. His howls lasted until he came to the driver seat and howled at me. As I reached over to pet his head he looked at me so confused and laid his head on my lap and whined as we pulled up to the shelter.

You don’t deserve this amazing puppy. You don’t deserve any dog at all.

My dog will forget about you. He will find a good home and will get the love he deserves. He will know what it’s like to have a real home.

I don’t care who you are or your excuse as to why you abandoned my dog. It’s probably a BS reason anyways. You are a scum bag. I pray your year is filled with karma and bad health.

Sincerely, Brooke

I’ve spoken similar words about our babies. My pit, taken by force from a man who hid her from the world while neglecting her. My boxer who was for bread, then used for fighting. My mastiff, who was loved until she was old then set free to roam the town on her own. 

People like the person spoken about here make me sick. People like that are the reason I do what I do. 

The person that saved the poor pup are 1 in a million and we need more of them!

This is Penny, who I adopted from the North Shore Animal League America no-kill rescue center in Long Island, New York seven years ago. I am an artist, and Penny has given life to all my creative endeavors ever since she became a part of my life!

I am a huge supporter of animal care and adoption, so I decided to set up my ETSY shop ✿❀ in order to donate a portion of the proceeds to no-kill animal shelters, so please help me spread the word! :)

Cops, nor pits, are bad. They ALL need love!

SIGNAL BOOST: TOXIC DOG TOY

Mammoth has put out a series of “Tire Biter” toys that are both in the form of bones and actual tires. They claim to be non-toxic and they’re not.

I have been experimenting with so many “tough chewer” toys after just rescuing a pit bull/boxer mix so when I went into my local pet store (which I just so happen to work at), I already had this in mind when I went to pick up a haul of toys today after getting paid.

Having worked at a pet store for the past 9 months, I have heard a lot of things about a LOT of different toys but I’ve never heard a single thing about this one.

Not only was it a shit toy, (he ripped it to pieces in 30min-1hr), but just now, about 3 hours after he destroyed it, he started vomiting consistently. Right now he’s been vomiting for about an hour and has thrown up about 8 times.

I obviously darted online and saw the MANY complaints about this product being toxic and causing dogs to vomit for up to 8 hours. After that 8 hour period however, they appear to be fine once they can hold down food again.

Many people have called the company over the course of three years but this toy is still on shelves. I’ll be informing my manager of this when I go into work in the morning, but there is only so much we can do since corporate has always been less than cooperative. 

So PLEASE signal boost the hell out of this as this will likely still be on store shelves for a while.

I love the fact that despite all the trauma and abuse my poor boxer has gone through in her last life, she still loves cuddles and car rides.

Hello Tumblr world! My name is Morgan and I rescue abused and neglected animals. I plan on saving many more once my house is a little better equipped. As for now I just have my 3 pups and 2 cats.

I have Bailey our red/blue pit who was taken from a person who kept her in a kennel inside her whole life due to a pit ban in his town. She is 3 and the sweetest, loving baby ever.

Then we got Izzy. A 16 year old mastiff. We took her off the street in our town. She was turned out by her owner due to age and inability to car for such a large dog. Some town folk were going to shoot her so she didn’t suffer through winter.

And there is Cleo. A beautiful boxer that had the worse up bringing. She was milled and used for fighting. She was dropped off to us by a family member who rescued her but couldn’t keep her due to aggression.

I will get into more detail later on each of my beautiful babies.
