I stand with Jen! I would rather know my dogs were with me than worry that
they end up in some psycho’s hands or a rescue that really isn’t a home.
It isn’t the popular view, I know. But after spending a day looking at all
the GSD’s in ‘rescue’ looking for homes, this is what I’d prefer.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: GSD faces euthanazia due to owner's death
How sad is this! I hate to say it, but Bela needs to get a disposition
yesterday!!
I am sorry, but dogs are our PROPERTY and we as their OWNER have the right
to make whatever provisions we choose for them. He shouldn't be sitting in a
shelter for weeks, lonely and miserable with no person anymore, in a strange
setting. Some of yall may call me crazy, but I think Bela should have been
euthanized on the 26th of November!!!
If this dog has any protective instincts, he will be labeled "aggressive"
and condemned to a kennel run for the rest of his days at "best friends
animal sanctuary" out there in Utah where the land is big and there's no
neighbors to hear nor see.... Better off dead, IMHO.
What I want to know is how in this world did the dog end up in a shelter
instead of at the vet, and why/how did this place determine they had more
dispositional rights than the owner provided???!!!???
This is another fine example of the erosion of people's minds when it comes
to companion animals. NOT fur kids or pet parents and all that crap; we are
their OWNERS and have the right to do as we please for our dogs outside of a
rabies shot mandated by law every 1-3 years, and provide proper care for
them.
This is just so warped, I can hardly wrap my mind around it! This seems
like an example of stolen property if Bela is not released to his
veterinarian... And horribly frightens me to no end...
If "other people" can wrestle control of a dog who has a disposition in
black & white by its owner, I am afraid for a day that might come where
people like me will be unable to put their service dog's "work clothes" on
and live an independent life anymore... God forbid, I'm using my companion
animal to make my life livable... Without whom I would have to live in
assisted living and be handicapped instead of handi-capable as I am now with
a dog always at my side.
I, too, have been faced with this very situation before in my "breeding
life", And very close to home...
When my late husband decided to drop dead at 40 from a massive (1st) heart
attack, his dog, "Andy" was almost 11 years old. Andy was euthanized 4 days
after Keith, as Andy was going to lay down and die without his person...
Even though he was generally healthy, he was prepared to quit, planned on
it, and was working it pretty hard, so we let him go to be with his person,
and so they are buried together, with their ashes mixed up together.
I very much respect the people who make provisions for their pets knowing
they might be gone before the pets, as it's the right & responsible thing to
do. My estate goes in trust for the care of my animals if something were to
happen to me. My few pets all have homes if I were to drop dead for some
strange reason, with people they know and like and will be cared for and
about.
I am just horrified that there might be some crazy idiot who feels that they
have some god complex where their desires supersede my last will and
testament when it comes to my pets! (Ya can mess with me, but not my
pets!!).
I just hope the "right" decision is made. So unfair for this dog to sit in
limbo and so unfair that someone thought they had more power & say than an
owner. Shame on them. Shame on anyone who doesn't respect owner/property
rights. Perhaps things like this might be that little wake-up call John Q
Pet Owner needs to see & have, so this doesn't continue to happen.
Especially for pets who have a post-owner plan (regardless of what it might
be!). Even I have a euthanasia clause allowed for any of my pets who can't
make the adjustment to my being gone-- they can be planted under the tree
that is over me and all my pets who went before me (plan is cream are me,
mix us up, bury us and plant a tree- then at least we're useful fertilizer
and provide to a new life)
Sorry so long- was gonna be my 2 cents but I guess it turned into a dime cuz
I'm upset at all of it!
Jen P & her Pack who desperately want to remain OWNED by their person who
knows us and provides for us and not be caught up in some ARO scheme if for
some reason our person isn't here anymore
