It’s only Monday y’all…Here’s a funny one for you…
A woman messaged us about surrendering her two Shih Tzu mixes because she is facing homelessness and is currently unemployed. The dogs are not current on any vaccines (it’s been years since they’ve seen a vet) and are NOT spayed.
So far, we’re understanding- pretty normal. We still want to help.
Then she asks what kind of “facility” we are.
We explain that we are a foster based rescue. We do not have a shelter or a building. The dogs we take in live in our homes with our families and other foster animals, and we are all volunteers.
Then comes the demand for a phone call.
Then a house tour.
Then questions about whether we use crates.
Then… silence. 👻
Then comes back and tells us the two dogs have littermate syndrome and are attacking each other.
Okay. We still say we can help. We’ll separate them, get them vetted, and get them spayed. No problem. That’s what rescue is for.
But then comes the never ending barrage of questions.
We explain, again, that we are VOLUNTEERS. Y’all, we have jobs, families, foster dogs, vet appointments, transport, applications, cleaning, feeding, medications and approximately 47 other things happening at any given moment. 😂
Apparently, because we cannot sit on the social media all day and answer questions all day, we must have “bad intentions.” And this is clearly a red flag 🚩. 😂
Let’s clear something up.
We are not a government funded facility.
We are not a shelter with staff sitting behind a desk.
We are not available 24/7.
And we certainly aren’t obligated to prove our intentions by giving someone a tour of our homes or answering you all day.
We are volunteers with lives who also are trying to save dogs.
You either want the help or you don’t.
And if you don’t?
That’s okay. Good luck ❤️
