Emergency - anyone want a dog?

[Jynxgirl]

It is a puppy, stuck in a one bedroom apartment. No where to play, has no toys of its own, except the big teddy bear I gave him that he literally takes along with him all over the apartment and sleeps with in the chair.

For an 8 month old retriever, he is great. They are of course very very very very active dogs. Saint bernards have like 1/1000th the amount of energy of this dog. I am not a retriever fan, that is for sure!

Ahhh I see, still sounds like a gorgeous dog though. Love Retrievers and Labs but Boxers are my favourite - we had one as a kid awesome thing, mad as a hatter.

OMG! Sandypool, I was just about to type out a post saying that if you think a Retriever has energy, you haven't met a Boxer! I absolutely love boxers and have one right now! He's just such a big slobbery old softie! He's 9 and a half years old now so has gotten quiet lately. But he is and always will be my baby!!

Best Dog Ever. Fact. Well mine was. All legs and slober with minimal brains - much like me on a Thursday night.

After not sleeping yesterday, waiting on her to come after texting me mutliple times that she was on her way, I finally gave up and went to do something I had to do. I came home to more chewed up stuff even though I thought I had puppy proofed my apartment pretty well. I left the key under my mat and she promised she would come get the dog. I decided against working and took a sick day. She never bothered to text or call to let me know she didnt come get the dog. I sent a multiple asking if she was. At 6am, I decided to send her a message that he was going to k9 friends. I called at 9 and they are coming to pick them up. It is not my dog but I will give them a donation for getting him even though I know the dog will be adopted VERY quickly out as its a beautiful purebred dog and a lot of people showed interest. Just the better route as they will try to make sure he is going to a good home who is equipped to handle him.

K9 friends are being great. If you interested in a dog, please do not hesitate to call them and set up an appointment!!!

That lady doesn't deserve the dog. It's a good thing he's out of her hands and the pup is lucky he ended up with you, because otherwise, he'd just have been tossed to the side of the road like countless other unfortunate ones. K9 Friends is very good and I do hope he gets adopted soon. If she does call you back, ask her to clean up soon because I hear the angels are on their way!

I think what upsets me so much is the absolute lack of care for others. No care for the dog itself. She handed the dog over to me monday night with a broken chain that is a walking chain but I think they used to keep him locked up on. Its 6 ft long!!! It didnt have the cloth hand area as he chewed it up. The snap to hook him up was broke. They strung it thru his leather collar and just held on to the other end. It hurt your hand really bad. I cant imagine he was walked that much even though she told me how much she loved walking him. No bowls, no food, no toys. He loves his teddy bear from that first night and sleeps with it and walks around with it. He was fed a chicken breast for dinner and breakfast. He is underweight and doesnt like dog food as never had it. To feed a raw diet, there is alot more to it then just giving a dog a chicken breast. Poor thing.

She would call me a few times everyday to let me know she was coming (waking me) and then text me a few times to drag it out and me not give the dog away. I sleep during the day!!! Why do that?? Why bother to lie and wake someone up to tell them you are coming when you really are not? The bad thing is I was told that any time they give or being told they were on their way, is just hog wash for middle eastern people as they have a different time schedule that they follow. It kind of drilled it in this wish washy time frame and lapse of care of other peoples time. I am used to someone telling me a time and that being the time. Its very frustrating. But at least this is coming to an end and K9 friends is able to assist.

And they wonder why no angels visit their home. It's not the innocent dog's fault, it's because they lack basic human respect and decency. Makes me sick!

all i can help is to stick the memo near the lift in my building if you send it to me by email... my neighbors found abandoned cat with broken leg, cured the cat in the clinic but couldn't keep him as they were moving out of UAE in 2 months, they put A4 ads at the lift and in 2-3 weeks they found a good family for the cat, let's try to do the same...

I am happy to 'break the rules' and put up a post on here to try and get the poor dog a home. Have you a photo?
