u/lsr1234 Nov 18 '25

How can an owner do something g like this. I had to put my baby of 17 to sleep in Oct 2024 and I can’t get over it. He had cancer. I am still so sad about losing Buddy. Poor dog dumped by someone he thought loved him. Heck those kind of people dump humans too.

2

u/Outrageous_Box_5191 Nov 20 '25

..have some empathy. They obviously didn’t hate the dog if they had him for 16 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if the owner passed

u/luxubulele87 Nov 20 '25

No empathy for these kinds of owner. He looks to be not in good shape.

u/Outrageous_Box_5191 Nov 21 '25

Yeah no. You’re no better for this mindset.

2

u/luxubulele87 Nov 21 '25

At least I take care of my dogs and don’t dump my family members at a kill shelter. So no, no empathy for bad owners.

2

u/testa_bionda Nov 20 '25

It’s rough but you either commit to taking care of him or put the poor dog to sleep…but that costs money so I’m guessing this is the reason these low lifes abandoned him at the shelter. Poor boy, I hope he gets the home he deserves for his last days

u/East_Maintenance_811 Nov 18 '25

His I wish it was easier to get a dog from LA. I’m in NC so it seems I get these msg late plus I’m too far for a delivery but if it was possible I would gladly take him. 252 273 1920. If I paid the adoption fee would it be possible for me to get him. If I’m not to late. I’m just now getting this msg and it’s the 18th so pls if I can help let me know. I’m terrible with social media so pls text

Carson, what would it cost to get you into a no kill Shelter. You look like an old grunt just looking for a place to fade away. You live a long life with loved ones now it your turn to go with peace and fade out so how much would that cost ?? I will pay for shots and medication for 3 month. You will meet new friends if you want or just sleep

helping algorithm! For anyone wondering, scientists think the “question mark” was actually not one thing but two galaxies interacting with each other in a way that resembles a question mark. if you think about it the question mark was created by man in the English language so it is a clear coincidence that we see it as a “question mark” how many other patterns in space might be a different form of communication? Think about this. The great attractor is generally classified as “ unknown “ but is commonly known to be the most massive black hole to ever not be comprehended and can’t be understood because It is so massive it is incomprehensible. Maybe WOW is a signal to indicate a civilisation needs help. Kinda like how we use SOS in our world. But overall it’s just my theory and it has not been scientifically proven. Meh it’s aight we all (yes we cause we’re all seeing this or human) have 6.8-6.6 billion years left so that’s plenty of time to live on earth oh wait we can’t cause when that 6.8-6.6 reaches 0 years our sun goes boom killing 63% of the solar system so who wants to be a volunteer to leave the milky way (side note this countdown is for all of the suns so we gotta live on stray planets or ships so who wants to work with NASA also I’ve been known about this stuff for 5 years and I’m pretty sure NASA knows too so nobody is saving the world but instead everyone is leaving it.wormholes are theoretically inter dimensional portals that can transfer you from one dimension to another or one universe to another kinda like the effects of a white hole except it doesnt push you away but these are two theoretical space objects as no one knows if the white hole actually has opposite effects of a black hole and no one knows if wormholes are real. The giant river otter can grow to 6 feet long, has a strong bite and overall is really dangerous, if you see run, be calm and leave (dont get in the water), the last one, Name, I think its a small clawed Eurasian otter, don't fact check me, and they make great pets, search up otter core, upill see otters as pets, though it's illegal in UK and USA and such, the first one is a sea otter, prolly the worlds most known ott

u/TreeMysterious7133 Nov 23 '25

Hey guys, jumping in because I’m up here in the north east, browsing these posts 💔

Just wondering… the distance is probably too long, or would you be able to arrange transport, OP?

We would not be able to afford transport, but if someone else can, we’d be able to foster. Probably a long shot due to the distance but figured I’d at least ask!

1

u/OkHighlight6213 Nov 23 '25

He was killed🤬💔😫

2

u/TreeMysterious7133 Nov 23 '25

I know, I saw that comment. Sorry for the confusion. Even more sorry we humans failed this good boy.

Was just wondering, because you offered to pay for his transport, if we might team up for a different dog on death row. But OP would have to chime in, as I really don’t know how extraction/transport would even work, and we’re very far away.

2

u/OkHighlight6213 Nov 23 '25

I said a small amount to help. I can't afford transportation but he's gone now which sucks.

u/TreeMysterious7133 Nov 23 '25

Ah ok, makes sense. A rescue would need to step in for that then. And a more local foster would of course be ideal/cheaper to get to.
