Terrible Future

[Maromi]

We had a dog that was Named Eugine Francis in which we had taken in from the pound (Danbury's pound; my mom is ACO).
Sadly we could not keep her in the fence. She would climb out it, crawl out of it, dig out of it, etc. etc.
So, we aggreed that maybe the local SPCA would find her a nicer and better home.

And then, but two weeks later, we got news of her whereabouts.
She had lest found a nice, new warm home, and more found her place in a trash bag somewhere in houston.

Yeah.
Lake Jackson SPCA had put her down for the following.
Being over the age limit
Having mange (CUREABLE!)
And not being a pure-breed (that wasn't what they said, but they put down most of the mutts anyways.)

And so /her/ story ends with a sad and terrible thing. And this is what most SPCA's in Texas do.
They put down 95% of the dogs and more cats.
They put down kittens, they put down old cats, they put down sick cats (I can understand sick cats, though. It's proven that cats can spread disease much like the dreaded rodents).
But, they also put down Puppies (too young to go out for adoption), older dogs (older than three, I believe), Mutts, and dogs with TREATABLE CONDITIONS...

I, myself, being only but sixteen, am working currently on saving my money to be able to open a shelter here in my home town with the no kill policy. My organization will be a non-profit organization and if Broder (A dog in the pound, right now) and Whitey (our first cruelty case) are still in the pound when I move, than i'm adopting them and making them my mascots. Whitey's story will be posted when we go to court against his old owners. =)

Aww.. I like what your doing! Saving up money for animals. I would do that too, if that stuff happened here

Well the ASPCA is in New York, and they don't kill dogs for those reasons, they kill them
1. Because they are to agressive to be put into a home, they don't want to put anybody in danger, humans, children, other animals, or the animal that is aggresive so they believe that is a safer thing.
2. If the animal has an uncurrable disease
There might be another, but the actual ASCA is one place, there is only one and like I said it is in New York. The others are SPCA and they are not afilliated with the ASPCA or each other, so if one did something you don't like, you can't blame all of them. Though some of the reasons that you say they killed Eugine Francis were not right, and I agree with you on that. It is really great that you are saving up money for the animals, I would do it but I am not able to.

OK share with us

HIs name is Whitey...And he is the most beautiful Malamute you'd ever see! He's pure white, he's tall, and he has a blue eye and a gold one.
And since his owners had to move into an apartment, he was living with a man in the country in this town.
Whitey got out once before and they reluctantly got him out of the pound about three days later.
we didn't hear from Whitey for a while...until...

One faithful night, we got a call from Vincent (one of the Police) and he said that there was a sick and smelly dog we needed to get. He said the dog was dirty, he smelt like something dead, and he had a disgusting and gaping wound on his neck.

When my mom brought him home in the Dog Catcher truck to try and contact a vet (at 10 at night), I went out to see my beloved Whitey.
And sure enough.
His legs were covered in mudd.
It looked like he hadn't eaten for days, or had anything to drink.
His neck was rotting away.
And he smelt like roadkill.

And after a few minutes of waiting and handfeeding oreo's to him, we finally took him to the pound.
ANd we saw the full damage of his neck.
It really was gaping and it was nasty. Moist and smelly...Yuck!

^^ Aftera couple of days of treatment and vet visits he started to look better and we thought that we would have to keep Whitey in the pound until he was well enough to go to a rescue group.
Well, surely enough, a woman shows up to the police department, all covered in tears and freaking out because Whitey was in 'jail'.

...He's home now =) And he's happy. Very happy.
And i'm happy =) Because he's happy...
And that's his story x) It's not that bad, not as bad as it could be, but it was better than having to live at the place where they chained him and choked him enough to where his skin was rotting away from the chain, and forgot to feed him and love him...Gosh...Well, the man that abused him is going to court next month for animal cruelty ^^

And this is Maromi...I just didn't feel like signing in xP
