I just found out now that my dog has been put to sleep. I just found out from my parents last night. My parents lied to me this whole time. They told me that he was sent to a family in Lakeland. The truth was that they sent him to a shelter while I was sleeping.

The following Monday, my dog was fine for 15 minutes and then he became paranoid and started panicking so they put him to sleep. My parents lied to me for a month. They didnt tell me in my face, instead they typed a letter and put it in my room. I went to the animal shelter just to make sure and they said that because the dog was too "timid" that they had to put him to sleep. I asked him if there could've been a posibility to contact me before they put him to sleep but they said that they were "too busy" and they didnt feel "obligated" to call me.

My dog was a nice dog. He never bit a single person. The people who showed up at my MOE's meet know how nice my dog was. He loved everyone. What made me mad the most is that when my dad gave him away, he didnt read the form he had to sign CAREFULLY. He said that they didnt inform him of the Humane Society but realistically he didnt pay attention. He didnt pay attention to what he was signing so he signed my dog's life away.

I know I wasnt a great person to my parents and I know that I didnt do what they wanted me to do but I tried my hardest. My dog was my brother, my best friend.

So pretty much, I wrote to bay news 9, abc action news, fox 13 news, tampa 10 news, and a couple others. I think they mistreated my dog which caused him to snap. My dog didnt deserve to die. He was a good dog and he was wrongfully taken away from me. I dont know what to do anymore. I feel like my life has just been destroyed. This all sucks.

I will post pics soon

 

Sucks. Sorry for your day.

 

Sorry for your loss bro

 

Thats Fed up.


Despite them being your parents, I would have punched them in the face after reading (basically) a murder letter.

 

He was a good dog too. Never bit anyone. Always loved every person he met. I honestly think that the douchebag who evaluated him mistreated him and made him become paranoid. My dog was wrongfully put down and if they actually called me then I could've saved him but instead they said that there were not "obligated" to call and they were "too busy". ****ing bastards

 

The bigger issue is that you have problems with your parents.

 

And as important as this dog may be to you his importance should never compare to that of your parents. I would hesitate putting too much blame on the non-profit institutions' employees that are usually there on little to no pay doing what most of us would not for animals they've never met and have been abandoned by others. Perhaps your own actions should be evaluated a little further so you can take the best care possible of your next pet. Use his passing as motivation to do better not cause anger, know what I mean?

 

sorry about your loss but I don't think the shelter is to blame here. They simply don't have the resources to give "personalized" attention to every single abandoned animal.
your dad signed away the dog. it's not the center's responsibility to seek the true owner.

 

sorry about your doggie

 

I'm so sorry for your loss. I dont know what I would do if my pup was put down!

What breed was he? He looks basically the same as my dog, with shorter ears.
