i've seen the dog food bags when she throws them out, there the cheep orange bag from doller gen, not much of any thing in that
I'm a roll lately--but another rant!
- Thread starter Rare Feathers Farm
- Start date
We get TONS of unwanted dogs dumped out here at the feedyard. Most of the employees here have provided housing (cowboy bunks), and we are in the middle of nowhere, so I guess they figure one of us will take in the dog
At least once a week there's a stray dog out here, so sad. Just about a month ago I walk out to find a VERY scared and aggressive pit mix right off my back porch...sadly you can't have an aggressive pit mix around cattle and horses (not to mention the children that live here and my chickens!), so the dog had to be put down b.c no one could get close enough to catch it.
I guess people are too broke to feed their animals so they dump them. I've taken countless dogs to the shelter that have been dumped out here. I think there's a special place in hell for people that dump animals to suffer and die.

You guys who know people dump near you... ever thought about setting up a game cam? Might catch a license plate?? I'd be sorely tempted if we were in that position and had the funds... people like that should be banned from ever being allowed another pet. Seriously, you can spare the gas to drive to the boonies to dump, aka kill, your pet but you can't spare that same gas to go to the pound... not MUCH better, but at least there's a roof and a CHANCE of survival. *growl*

In that case I think you should have said something like "is that all they eat?!! No wonder they are starving!" and watched to see where that fork in hte conversation would taken you.

Game cam yes, haven't caught one yet. Mostly they get dumped elsewhere and end up here, because we are close to the water they sniff out. The creek. Had a huge Mastiff I think it was out front, limping, neighborhood dogs after it (who should not have been running loose). Finally tricked it into coming in the yard and I circled around it and closed the gate, a Friday late afternoon - no pick up. Feed, water, rest and he started feeling better. Called the pound Monday morning they came out and I walked the dog to the truck, like no big deal for him- hopped right in. Our pound now tries to place the strays and fosters them out to give them longer. But that Big teddy bear got placed right away after being vet checked and fixed and before I could even get it back to foster it. It went to a home with kids.
Ya, that's nice when you turn them in they give you their number assigned to them and you can check on what's happening with it. Like that.
The only ones I foster are the ones that come to me. I really shouldn't foster them. Getting old and any of the big ones could knock me down in less than a minute just walking past me. And the young are a lot of work. But I figure they were sent my way for a reason and its up to me to figure what that is. When I foster, I set the rules, they dont leave until they have had basic training like the Lab Pup and some rescue places don't like that. Well Tuff. On the Lab Pup - I made the new owner wait 2 extra weeks for that pup, age wise. But when she did get him, she was glad she waited for him. I gave them detailed instructions on what training he had had and his schedule that I set up for normal working hours, before they even got the dog. He fit right in, immediately. Trained with a schedule to fit their life.
You just can't keep them all that come though. There's way to many and I can't afford to feed the really big ones along with my own. Most of them are good dogs that just need a little training. Wish people would fix their animals, so they'd stay home and not go on the hunt. Most all of them are males at breeding seasons.
Ok, I think I have gotten my Ranting out of my system and am pretty much ready for the next batch to start coming through the area in a few weeks.
