If this is in reference to my post above it the OP asked to see pictures - these are the cases that I have pictures from.

You want me to make it more relevant? There's a picture of my dog in there, she has epilepsy which is a NEUROLOGICAL problem. There, it's relevant.

I sincerely hope this wasn't directed at me, my FRIEND'S disability made her so self conscious she would barely leave her house. Her DOG'S disability had helped her deal with her own. There have been so many news stories about disabled pets helping disabled people because of the similarities with their disabilities.

No it was not directed at you. Someone brought up the fact that if a person were disabled people would feel differently. Of course we would, its a PERSON. I just hate it when people compare dogs and humans. I love my dogs but they are NOT people.

I never said the dogs condition was caused from an illness-I said it could have been caused from an illness-but is also on steroids at the moment just in case it is from an injury.
See-a neuro can be caused by a number of things, not just illness.

And no-this one will not be put to sleep.Sorry-but it almost sounds as if this is something you offer advice to do quite often!

Fact is Moose-I didnt ask for opinions on whether or not this dog should live, I asked if there were anyone out there that would want to foster this girl to help save her. I didnt ask for members to chime in that cripple dogs arent worth saving-possibly scaring off any possible fosters.

I am simply trying to save this girl, that is all that I posted.

AND~even with inquiries about her-there is still a selection process, she is not going to be placed just anywhere, she will be placed accordingly, even if that means that I keep her until the right home is found. I would never have her placed in a home that was not mentally and physically prepared for her.

TMP and Kasco have some very good points. And yeah Karen, you should have opened your mouth. You make more sense than most. lol

I aint gone say nothing bout sense, but some folks need to know how to set boundaries and understand a little further the concept of selfishness.

This is a sad situation all the way around .......BUT...... we are talking pit bulls here and VERY few GOOD homes available for the very best candidates! So, while heartbreaking, it is so not fair to the healthy, happy ones that are rotting in sheleters across the country to put so much effort, money AND a home into one with no cure.... To unite a disabled dog with a disabled person is pretty cool but that is a rare case. I just don't understand PIT BULL rescues sometimes...

ALL DOGS, deserve a chance.

NO it is NOT the same thing. You, as the breeder, had a RESPONSIBILITY to keep Daizy and to turn her over to another home would have been a poor decision on your part. Breeders keeping a sick animal from their litter is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from a sick dog taking up space at a rescue. I ask again...how many dogs have been put down in the time this particular dog has been at the shelter?? How many of those dogs were healthy and completely adoptable. MOST people do not want to take a disabled dog. Hell, most people can't even take care of their non-disabled dogs.

Also, you cannot dictate the responses to what you post. There have been other threads where people have lamented the $$ spent on saving sick and dying dogs in rescue while healthy animals are put down for lack of room. You posted and you got responses.

I am not saying that all crippled animals should be put down. But I do not think they should take up room at shelters. If you support taking up cages with such sick animals then I really don't ever want to hear a word about "overpopulation" slip between your lips.

I'll foster her. When she arrives I'll give her a cheese burger. Then I'll drive her to my vet's office and even hold her paw as she slips from this world to run the rainbow bridge. I'll even have her remains cremated so you can adopt out the urn.

I posted a plea to help a disabled dog. That is all that I posted.

I did not post a thread asking for opinions and thoughts.

So, why were "you" here to begin with? It wasn't because you had any interest in fostering this dog. It was simply because there was nothing else on the forum exciting and you just had to post somewhere.

No other dogs have lost their lives due to this dog, she is not in a shelter as I first thought, rather she is with a family already that cannot keep her due to HUMAN medical problems. They found her in the woods. She was just tiny when they found her. So no worries, no other dogs were harmed because of her!

Root has mentioned numerous times that the topic should stay on topic. Killing this girl was not the topic, neither was should this dog be PTS, saving her was the topic, and so that is all I tried to do.

Im not dictating this post, I am simply asking that you should not express opinions on whether or not the dog should live, as I did not ask this.

Im looking for a foster home, that is all.

JM2C, I think it is acceptable to rehome dogs with severe health and/or neurological
problems through a private rescue because the screening process will (hopefully) be
better, and the dog will be kept alive on private funds. Were this dog actually in a shelter,
though, I would have to vehemently disgaree with it's being kept alive, they have enough
trouble adopting out healthy and stable bullies without keeping sick ones alive as well.

oh, well since we can simply ask anything here, no matter how ridiculous, im gonna "simply ask" that you should not post anymore pleas for help over unadoptable dogs with sad little stories....


see how outlandish that is?? i can't honestly expect that, and wouldn't.
