people are so fucked up.
i adopted this cute puppy out to this family a couple of weeks ago. and on their application they had put that they wanted the pup for outside only. it was a five pound pup and having it outside only is just insane.i talked to them about it and the dad was an asshole but the mom and the kids were cool about it and said they'd keep it inside until he was at least 25pounds or older than six months. after i talked to them and made sure things were okay, they start signing the paper work and the dad decides to say "i don't even like animals, i dont want this puppy my kids and wife do". my fucking heart stopped as he said that and i was like "oh umm". and the mom was like no he's just kidding we will take care of the dog. i didn't feel too good about it but i talked to my manager and she said sometimes you have to take a chance and if the mom says she'll take care of it she probably will. when i was done with the adoption i called jesse and cried my eyes out to him, and also to my friend diana there at work. i didn't think i made the right decision adopting the pup out to that family but like my superviser said, sometimes you have to give people a chance.
today we get a call at work from that families neighbor telling us that, the puppy is chained up in the backyard with no food or water, and if he's not chained up he's running loose in the backyard and sneaks under the fence and goes to the neighbors and cries b.c he's hungry and thirsty for water. the neighbor said the family is never home and the pup seems miserable. i can't get over fucking people. i don't understand why they'd take the time to adopt an animal if they are just going to treat it like shit. it's a fucking puppy and they have him chained up? i guess this is a lesson i have learned, and now i will go with my gut instinct if i feel a home isn't good for a particular animal.
in our contract, it says we can make a home visit at anytime to see if the animal is well taken care of. well,
we are going to do that and take that fucking puppy away from the fucked up family.
and i remember, when the mom picked up the dog the next day she told me "don't worry, we will take care of him".
bitch.
