Wish you would of had a different outcome and found someone to love you. RIP KRISTEN.
I died today.
On this brisk November morning I took my last walk down the hall to a room where I took my last breath.
I want you to know that there were people that cried for me. I don't want you to blame the shelter whose staff and volunteers cared for me the best they could. There is only so much they can do for pups like me that come in lashing out in fear. They have limited resources and the loud, stressful shelter kennel environment is no place for scared pups like me to relax and show our true personalities. Without an experienced foster home or a rescue group with room available to give a fearful dog like me a chance to decompress outside of the shelter sadly there was only one outcome for me: death.
I wish I would have been able to experience love with owners that care about me. Instead they dumped me outside all alone and left me to fend for myself. I reacted aggressively out of fear to the strangers that tried to help get me to safety, but only because I was afraid. Had I known love in my past home I wouldnât have acted out in fear.
I deserved to live a happy life with parents that love me, furry siblings to play with and human ones to lie in bed with at night. But my âfamilyâ dumped me and it just wasnât in the cards for me. This happens more often than you think. Even if they could no longer give me a home I wish they couldâve found a safe place to bring me to, so that I didnât have to run the streets all alone and afraid.
I DO want you to blame irresponsible owners like mine for my senseless death. If you see abuse or neglect, please speak up for us voiceless animals. There is nothing we can do, but YOU CAN stand up and make a change! It is too late for me but you can help others like me have a better lifeâŠdo not support backyard breeders...foster, donate, volunteer, adopt!
Rescue is not for the faint of heart and this baby was failed by her humans.
Rest in peace, baby girl!
Kristen is yet another victim of irresponsible owners that dump their pets instead of seeking help đą
