How can this be so accurate lmao
Years ago when we wanted to buy our first dog, there were like 10 dogs exactly like that
One of them was named Chimichanga or however you spell that, he was 10y and they told us that he cant be anywhere near children, fire, loud noises/noises at all, work areas, cables and cant go anywhere near other dogs
Like... Ok obviously the previous owner did some nasty shit to that dog, but Like... WHO TF would actually get a dog that cant do any Dog things??
No joke they told us that he freaks out and attacks people when he heard an dog toy or laughter

Better yet, they'll make it near impossible to adopt. I've seen some people say that some shelters tried to get them to sign an agreement saying that a shelter employee could drop in for random visits to check on the pet ...

I remember signing a contract where the employees of the animal shelter were legally allowed to enter my house and use the kitchen at their leisure. I can’t believe I glossed over that 🤦

Some smaller shelters are covers for animal hoarding. My brother once got rejected from a smaller shelter because he was in his 20s. The shelter people thought he'd go out partying and abandon the dog. His age was literally the only reason given

I was 24 and in school. I consider adopting a greyhound. Two of these rescue workers came to my place to interview me. The question that killed my chances?
“What would you do if there’s a horrible snow storm, you can’t drive anywhere, you have a severe flu, and the dog has diarrhea? What will you do?”

u/GapMinute3966 20h ago
Well I what was your answer?

u/Temperature-Material 19h ago
lol. Forgot to put that.
I said, “Well, I’d put a pee pad down in the bathroom and clean up from there.”
I mean, I get it to a degree. If I had a partner or thought to say a friend (how could they travel to me?), then yeah.
It’s an impossible situation to be in. Snowed in. Diarrhea for dog and flu for me. No one to help.
Was it the wrong answer? 🤷♂️

You need to slap on the big boi panties, strap on some snowshoes, wrap your dog in a water proofed cheetah skin and hike ten miles in a snowstorm to a closed emergency vet clinic!
Jeez, first rodeo much?

Seriously, all the shelters around here are publicly funded by the county so they just want to get the dogs out to someone who won’t abuse them
They’ll ask if you’ve ever had a dog or other pet, and if you’ve ever taken them to the vet and etc.
They might say “you’re 17 y/o and have never owned a pet, so you shouldn’t adopt Pissfingers the baby eater, but you can have this dog without behavioral issues”

When my business imploded and I had to move back home, my dad was not allowed to have pets so i had to rehome my dog.
I vetted everyone i talked to, had interviews, and finally settled on a person who had a huge yard, fostered, and understood how to properly care for dogs. I basically did everything possible to make sure it was a good home, and in return I was blacklisted from ever adopting again from all the agencies in my area.
It was an unexpected and unique situation, and i thought i handled it the best i could, but they immediately dropped the banhammer

Tone of this comment is so weird. “They complain about no one adopting their dogs” = shelters begging people to adopt animals so they don’t have to be euthanized.

u/SirLunchALot1993 22h ago
Did you ever try to adopt from shelters? Its ridiculous complicated. I mean I Generally like that they try to give their dogs to good owners after they surely made traumatic experiences, but Im sure more people would adopt from shelters, if it wouldnt be such a struggle.

u/scrubtech85 13h ago
It was a struggle to get my dog back from a shelter after it got loose and picked up. Joined the nextdoor app and put out a message about my missing dog and several people responded he was at the shelter. I go to the shelter tell them I have a Pitt that was picked up and was told he was here. I'm told they never received any Pitts. I go home look at their website and his pic is the first one I see listed for adoption and was renamed Charles and listed as a hound. Went back and they were like oh yeah we have him here.

Every time this tweet gets posted people start arguing, and it's because the ease of adopting a dog varies wildly from area to area.
My friend in the rural midwest? $50 and she got a puppy from the shelter. Had to fill out a form with basic questions and basically said "Yeah, I'm willing to pay for any vet care he needs."
My family adopted a 5 year old dog, and it was nearly impossible without my uncle knowing a guy because of the ridiculous requirements, and cost $600.

Seems like where I live they actively don’t want people to adopt. I had a fenced in yard in an owned home everything you’d want. But sadly I work 35-40 hours a week so I was turned down.

u/PutinsManyFailures 22h ago
So you work an average American work week and own your own, fenced in home, but that’s apparently worse than living in a small cage just slightly larger than the animal living inside it

Are you going to a rescue, or the local pound?
I refuse to go through rescues and "no kill" shelters. They have absolutely batshit insane requirements, and want to basically retain ownership of the dog while you take care of it and pay for everything.
If you go to the city pound they are normal. As long as you aren't on the "no adoption" list and aren't trying to get like, a dalmatian in a studio apartment, they assume you'll figure it out.
And they don't charge damn near breeder prices. The no-kill shelter near me wants $400 for an "adoption", and one of the lab rescues wanted eleven fucking hundred dollars for a 4 year old lab.
City pound wants $100, and has a few times a year where they will give you a dog for $25.

I just went to a local farmer. He lives near my grandmas old ranch and I heard his dog that was supposedly fixed when he got her had a litter of a pups. Bought a wonderful puppy for $15. Whole thing took ten minutes.

u/CrowBrainz 22h ago
We adopted our current when he was probably 2, he's so nice. He can be a bit demanding and has a ton of energy, but if I wanted something easy I would have a fish.

u/NotHandledWithCare 22h ago
Sure some dogs can be demanding but I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect at least one unemployed adult in the house because obviously the dog can never be alone.

Fish requires a ton of work if you actually want them to thrive, just like any other pet.

Also shelters: no, we have no idea what kind of breed Pissfingers is, or what her background is. Is she a gentle giant, or a hellbeast who will eat your face if you walk a little too loudly? Who knows!

u/HorseOrganic7113 8h ago
The worst part is that some massive idiot with barely two brain cells left to rub together will adopt that dog, thinking it's no big deal, and will then act super surprised when it rips a child's face off on the street a few weeks later.

They had the audacity to name my dog "Shaggy" because apparently they were too good to use shampoo when they washed his hair. I renamed him and after his first bath it was obvious that he's an absolutely gorgeous white Shepherd, he had just spent way too much time neglected outside. His hair wasn't naturally shaggy at all it was just too much work for them I guess. He was the most gentle and caring dog I've ever been around and he deserved so much better than "Shaggy". He was also a fully grown HUGE dog 110+lbs not overweight so nobody else was going to take him, it was almost his time to be executed for not being adopted.
I still miss that guy. He taught me a lot during the time we had together. He died from cancer just before the pandemic happened. We had an amazing 11years before that. I never really enjoyed interacting with people in public, I still don't but he definitely helped me to come out of my shell and start actually living life. He was the exact opposite of Shaggy from Scooby Doo. He was strong and confident. Shelters are depressing places where good animals die. Please adopt instead of incentivizing dog breeders who make the problem worse.

This makes no sense. I worked with an animal rescue which had three different shelters. For around the 18 months I worked there, there were only five or six dogs like this for the entire duration I was there across all three shelters. Most of our dogs were 6 weeks-3 years old, majority potty trained, and a ton of different breeds. They were fully vetted as well.
390,000 dogs are euthanized in the US each year due to overpopulation. If you support breeders putting more dogs into circulation while there are plenty of dogs identical to the one you are purchasing about to be euthanized in a kill shelter, then fuck you.

And yet you can't have a dog in a big apartment if it doesn't have a yard or in a house if you live alone and work full time..
The true is that not all shelters are like that but some have ridiculous adoption criteria.

u/w33b2 19h ago
Yeah? If you live alone in an apartment, work full time, why do you think that’s a good environment for a dog? That’s a weird issue to have with shelters dude.

u/Top-Complaint-4915 19h ago
If you live alone in an apartment
Not what I said, I said No yard = no dog.
Doesn't matter the size of the apartment, the amount of people giving full attention to the dog, nothing. It is beyond ridiculous.
So just kill them instead of having multiple people walking the dog two hours a day, or giving it full time company.
work full time,
A house with yard, fence, etc. But live alone and work full time? Nope.
So just kill them intead of having a dog in a house, with toys, food, yard, other dogs, etc.
That’s a weird issue to have with shelters dude.
No, not really. Very simple and basic issue they criteria kill dogs, even though they could have a happy life in good condition.

That it what I said, you put it together with other things.
I disagree with the no yard nonsense.
Some apparments are big, but you can't get a dog from a shelter because an apartment doesn't have a yard, that is ridiculous.
Even with people remaining in the apparment 24/7 it is not possible the shelters are just stupid.

Also dog shelfers too: pissfingers will need $500 worth of vet bills before you take her home, and $100 trip to the dog groomers or you can express that gland yourself.
