Yep, it's always the same thing. People letting their dogs have litter after litter, never using leashes and never trying to fix their dogs.
Dogs running around, fighting, breeding, chasing vehicles, getting into trash, and expecting me to be the one dealing with it all. Owners like to complain to me about dogs getting into their trash yet completely ignore their dog getting into other peoples. It ain't my responsibility.
People get dog after dog after dog, never keep them tied up, never get them fixed, end up giving it to me then get another one. People like that is why I quit in the first place, never taking responsibility over your dogs. Soon enough I'd quit taking in dogs to send out too, it's expensive and never ends.
People threatening to shoot the dog if I don't take it, people just dropping them off outta nowhere, people leaving their dogs tied at our house. I'm so sick of it. Such a tiny town and barely anyones responsible with their dogs. You guys complained about shooters and catchers yet be the reason shooters and catchers work, and be the reason they quit.
Today is just one of those days, where it all feels like too much. The dogs are a poopy mess, the weather doesn't cooperate, idiot people keep breeding the same dogs whose puppies then continue ending up in the pound and then the rescue(really tempted to start dropping them off at the person's house when they come in), people can't take responsibility for their own actions and take it out on us. But we can't even sit here and wallow in our feels, cause guilt then sets in because we aren't out paying attention to the dogs in our care and there are hundreds more who need our help.
Get your damn dogs fixed, take them out on a leash, and don't commit to an animal if you can't keep it.
Sincerely,
A really overwhelmed rescuer
