This kind of thing KILLS ME!!!! Pittie puppies are sweet!

THEY WANTED TO MAKE ME A GUARD DOG

THEY WANTED TO THROW ME IN A BACKYARD, STARVE ME, MAKE ME ANGRY, MAKE ME BARK

I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. I LOVE PEOPLE. PLEASE HELP ME.

I was outraged yesterday when I went to get Maddox (A1078300, just a puppy at 6 months old, red-listed on 12/11 -- so has until this Friday) out of his cage. This man and his two sons were interested in this innocent -- only to turn him into a backyard guard dog. Yes, that look on Maddox's face is one of worry. Because these people can come back at any time -- especially during the "sale" days coming up -- and get him for half price. They can put him into a backyard, let the kids play with him for a couple of months. and then ignore him for two years, five years -- bringing him back to the shelter when he gets too old to do his job, too nasty to adopt out. We see it all the time. Earlier impound numbers, returned, unsocialized, still not fixed, worn out, beaten down. That's shelter reality.

Puppies don't come sweeter than Maddox. He is completely submissive, undeniably loving (it was hard to get him to stand still for photos -- tail continually wagging, body twisting and wriggling and all over the place), and unprepared for a world that won't treat him with decency. Please protect him from that fate that awaits. Call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or -0119.
And kindly let me know -- I'm very concerned. Andrea ivegonetothedogs@gmail.com (323) 363-4909
