Ok folks, tonight was the straw that broke MY back . I'm really getting tired of shi**y, selfish people in this world. This one just about takes the cake.
Lorraine gets a phone call Sunday night from Animerge (a local 24 hour emergency vet), asking her if she could take a Sibe. So she zips over to the hospital to find a beautiful, reverse mask Husky puppy, about 4 months old. The poor pup had been hit by a car, fortunately not badly, but his rear paw got caught under the rear tire. The damage was bad, the whole top of the paw was abraded down to the bone, and the middle bones of the foot actually were shaved off the top . The couple who brought him in was told how much it was going to cost to treat the dog, and their reply was, and I quote,
"For what it's going to cost to fix him, we can buy three new dogs, so just put him down."
They then proceeded to drive off in their LEXUS, leaving the dog there and the bill unpaid. Lorraine had to shell out the $360 unpaid bill to get this crappy hospital to release the pup to her. And they KNOW we're a rescue, NO discount, NO nothing!! He's now at OUR vet, who cleaned him up, gave him some pain relief, and made sure nothing else was broken.
Oh, but wait, it gets better!
I get an e-mail tonight from her, read this....
Do you believe the NERVE? Yeah, could ya spend a ton of money fixing up my dog and give him back to us when he's all better, cuz we just LOVED him so much ? Man, I really LOATHE people on days like today .
I suppose the bottom line is that the pup is doing ok, and better yet, they can save the foot, it's just going to take months if not a year or so to heal. So I'll be picking him up tommorrow from the hospital, he'll do some recoup time here at Casa De Doggy, and I live far enough away that these people will NEVER find him
Here's a pic of our hurtin' pup

hello my name is steven and i am the brother inlaw of the man that broght in titan and i am sending you this email to see if after titan gets better my mother wants to adopt him because after seing him in those pictures we can tell that he misses his family because in this family he was not treated as a dog or an animal but, as a member and the only reason we wanted to put him to sleep was because we thought that was the best thing to do a the time but then we decided to leave him in the shelter instead of ending his life like that so we just want to know if we can adopt him back because we miss him so much, so please send us an e-mail at lupemancheno@hotmail.com to give us updates on titan or to let us know if we can adopt him back because we miss him.
