ARGH!

I know these stories are ten-a-penny, but just found this on a local dog rehoming centre website and it made my blood boil.
They also had a pup a few weeks ago, thrown from a moving car

and a GORGEOUS GSD too, although she has gone from the adoption page so hopefully has nice new owners.

Name: MINNIE
Description:
Minnie has been terribly let down once again in her life. Mistreatment, cruelty and isolation has been her life for years and yet again this has happened due to incompetence and irresponsible decision making. She was locked up for days on end in a bedsit flat - clearly an inapproriate place for her to live - she was fed inadequately and had no company. Her nails were extremely overgrown, a clear sign that she was never exercised. She arrived very underweight, with all her ribs clearly visible through her very thick coat, smelling of ammonia from her own urine. Minnie is an older dog, she was disregarded and flippantly replaced for another younger dog, got elsewhere.

Amazingly she still loves people. We need a very special home for Minnie to live out the rest of her days. She is an older girl but she is still very active. Please get in touch urgently if you can offer Minnie that special home. Minnie is a Japanese Akita

I really, really can't understand people abandoning dog once they get elderly, and replacing them with puppies. It make my blood boil

Hope she finds a nice home.

God knows what kind of trendy dog they have gone and replaced her with, she is of the age when Akitas were first getting to be the 'in' breed here.
I just discovered my friend's son brought the first Cane Corsos into Ireland a few years ago.

Because we don't have enough big, hard to manage, faddy-bred, too-often-dumped dogs already

Poor old girl, as you say probably bought when they became fashionable. It never fails to amaze me that people can discard an oldie to get a younger model (although thinking about it thats what my ex did

).

My dad went for a smaller, more easily managable and quicker to housetrain model

Sorry! Sorry! Argh, I am a cowbag.....loves ya, stepmummy!!!
