Description OMG!!! another dog!! lol. i tried to make it look as close to the dog it was modeled after irl. sorry for the fail at fur, it defeats me lol.
she kinda looks a little like a wolf........

---TRUE STORY------

So at my work for the past two/three weeks we had a husky we were treating named Runner. When she first arrived she was very scared and shy of humans. As time went on though she began to be more assertive and loving. Everytime she saw me come into work her tail would start wagging like crazy and she would whine. When I let her out she would jump up on me and lick at me.
I have never really gotten attached to an animal before at work, I know how to keep myself a little detatched. But Runner stole my heart.
I quickly learned of the home she came from. Runner lived with eleven other dogs. All of the dogs are Iditorad dogs. They all were outdoor dogs living on concrete all year round. The only shelter they had was a tarp. Their water consisted of it simply being poured over their food, not nearly enough water for them especially during the summer.
In the winter they are left to urinate on the concrete, thus freezing it to their feet causing their pads to be torn off. Currently we have her "sister" Zena who is at my work for this problem. The owner's excuse for their living conditions? Its their "siberian spirit".
Runner had started getting better and was to be sent home on Tuesday. Last night one of our workers went in to check on the animals, and Runner was dead. It broke my heart when I found out so I had to make this in memory of her. Because I'm probably going to be the only person who will mourn her loss.


So yeah... thats her story. I hope your enjoying yourself in heaven and running free and peaceful for the first time in your life Runner!!! I'll miss your doggie kisses!!!

omg! i started crying typing this

Runner is at peace now. She was probably sick before you got her and having recovered a little in a safe place made her feel loved. She knew it was her time to go, and the way they were treated, she probably didn't want to die out there, I've had dogs die on me to, but she died knowing she was loved, and warm and safe, what more could she have asked for? I think that if your work donates some dog houses and blankets and some bales of straw to put in the pen might help with the dogs, and the person could take them willingly or turn them down without loosing dignaty, so that might work.

yeah thats what we all thought.
im glad she died where she was safe and warm
oh we have donated that be she doesn't want anything from us, she thinks her dogs are in fine condition

MoonFlower-Stables In reply to wafflesandsyrup22 [2009-12-31 01:01:50 +0000 UTC]

If I were you, I would find a way to get it in her head that those dogs are not in fine condition. Sometimes it takes a good shock to get it in someone's head that thier animal isn't in a good condition. I'm working on saving some horses who are living in a pen with no shelter and it's nothing but mud, and I had to get a vet and some pics of horses who died in those conditions, and I also showed them a list of what would happen to them if they got arrested for animal cruiltey. Let me tell you, the horses were borded at a stable for a few months in the spring and summer while the grass grew and the shelter was built. It took a vet, some pics and a police officer to get that man to do what he needed for those horses. If you want, I'll find some stuff to show to that lady to shock her into fixing the condition, or maybee some gentle coaxing and some quiet words to show that you are there for them and that she will be doing the best for her dogs by taking these donations. I'm sorry I'm typing so much, but I'm just giving you some of my expeariance with animal rescuing that might help.

i wish i could do that!!!
but we have actually tried that (we just did) her response was that her dogs like being in that condition. its how they want to live. -.- fucking ass......
plus we legally cant do anything more! which sux! because were a business and we have that stupid doctor patient confidentiality thing going on!!! (yes vet clinics have that too)
their owner isnt very intelligent....
i have actually done the same thing for horses before. a friend of mine and i rescued some horses that were abandoned in a field near where we kept our horses

What state do you live in? How did you get the dogs in the first place? Do you have an ASPCA? They would get the dogs away from her. And make it where she can't have any more animals. GA has a bad ASPCA, they don't have a good foundation, and they won't do anything to help the animals. How are the horses you rescued doing? What happened to them?

I live in indiana. The owner brought us the dogs to get them treated. So they have to be returned to her no we dont have an aspca here. and if we do its a shitty one.
the horses are good! they still live on the same land but the neighbor decided to adopt them and now hes taking care of them all. they are all doing really well. he got them a new fence and fixed up their barn

Damn, I wish I could ring that lady's neck. Why don't you try to get her to surrender some of them to her, tell her they would find great homes and it would be less money she has to pay on vet bills and food. Telling her she would save money might help you get a dog or two from her, if you save just one, it may not be alot, but it will mean the world to that dog you saved.
