The Lone Ranger Rescue
Mission!
Forcing a dog to live outside 24/7 with
little or no human companionship is one of the most psychological damaging
things a human can do to a dog. Current
studies in dog psychology show that dogs isolated in backyards are highly
likely to develop serious behavioral problems that often result in euthanasia
for the animal.
Captivity
background:
My little friend, I call him Lone
Ranger because his humans just call him “the dog”, has been penned in
this concrete area 24/7 since Thanksgiving weekend.
To
date, February 28, that translates to 90 days of solitary confinement. He sees brick walls and can peek under a 1-inch
gate to see “the world”.
The
humans bend over the pallet-made-fence to fill food and water bowls - when they
do feed him. On all basic requirements
for any animal there is NO
·
petting – smacking him when he jumps up for attention
·
exercise - playing or walks
·
medical – dog got all wet during rainstorm and was sick – he
didn’t eat for 3 days. He doesn’t use his dog-loo – it has never been cleaned
so I imagine the atmosphere inside is not conducive for him to be inside. It
reminds me of the California Turpin family - outside looks nice but inside it’s
a filthy mess and neglect (of 13 kids) reigns.
·
love and attention
·
socialization – human found me sticking my hands underneath the
1-inch gate opening to pet the dog’s little face. Human proceeded to let me know he could use
the “f-word“ as a verb, adverb, noun, and adjective in every sentence he
screamed at me.
The
last bullet point confirmed abusive behavior was normal for the human and
prompted me to talk to friends, the local shelter, and Humane Society about
solutions
Your
help needed for this rescue mission!
During the rant the human went into, I
discovered he wants to get rid of the dog. I want to foster him, love him, train
him, socialize him, get him the medical attention - veterinary charges, vaccinations
& neutering - he needs, to expand his chances of finding a forever home. The monetary goal will allow me to action the rescue and care of this smart, little dog
while scouting a forever home.
I thank you so very much in advance
for your support in this rescue mission and encourage you to share this link
with friends, colleagues, and family.
