    Just a heads up that your local humane society sometimes has a foster program for situations like this (or likely knows of a foster program in your area).

      Sadly it’s very common for HS to have shoestring budgets that can not accommodate high populations. Once space becomes scarce it’s very much realistic that animals with health conditions be euthanized rather quickly. Which is terrifying for an owner in a position like this, who’s in no place to care for his dog. Not to mention the potential the dog is adopted by another person.

      It should go without saying this is rarely the fault of your local HS. You can blame shit dick breeders who constantly dump unhealthy or unwanted overstock whenever it suits them.

      Remember, there’s no such thing as a purebred.

      Fuck breeders
