Gypsy and I got a call on Thursday that a dog was in desperate need of help and only needed to stay the weekend. I told her if that is the case then it's cool as long as it is for ONLY the weekend. I reminded her that MYLA was only supposed to stay for 2 weeks and she is still here a year later.We tend to fall in love, how can you not when the dogs are GREAT!?!
So this is the deal on the dog.
His name is FOUR. He is what they say 12 yrs old but I think he is much younger from the way he acts.
The people that owned him had him for all those years and then found a new place to live that did not take pets.
So they DUMPED Four at the ACC saying they could not take him because they wanted to move into this new place and they are leaving Four behind.
Now I'm sorry but if you have a pet for YEARS and then your looking for a new place I don't care how great it may be if they don't take pets then I'm NOT going! My animals are part of my family and if you don't take them then you don't take me just that simple!
Anyways, Four was pulled from the shelter because last night we has going to be put down forever.
The rescue we are working with brought Four last night and they said he really didn't know commands and shit.
We don't listen to anything really, we see for ourselves when the animal gets here.
So this is the deal on Four:
He knows fetch and he drops it right at your feet or you tell him to "drop it" and he will let go and is ready for more.
He knows sit, give me your paw, up, lay down, and also knows when he needs to go out and starts to let you know by staying by the door.
He is a REALLY cool dog and I'm kind of surprised someone would just dump him like that when he is so darn cool!
He gets along with other dogs, sometimes wanting to play and others just wanting to do his own thing.
He could care less about cats, even after one of mine gave him a little slap in the face he didn't care. LOL.
He sleeps nice, all tucked away in a ball.
He also likes to sing we have discovered.
I was letting my other Shih Tzu, Harley Davidson do his singing act and right along came FOUR howling and singing!
I KNOW he will make someone a proud, happy pit bull mommy or daddy!
Here is a Picture of FOUR.
The rescue group called us today and said she had someone to take him in for a longer foster and she will come and get him Saturday night.
So this post is not only about us taking in the foster dog and helping save another animal in need, it is about the FUCKTARDS who dumped Four in the ACC where he almost died for no reason other then selfishness!
Hope everyone is doing well and Stay Up!

You two are such wonderful human beings for caring so much for abandoned abused and adorable dogs. St. sKILLz and St. Maria patron saint of the forgotten pooches.
Big fucking hugs
What a sweet dog. It's so sad that his people abandoned him. You are really amazing to take in another foster animal and save his life. I'm glad he's got a safe place to be for awhile.
I know that I've said this to you before, but I want you to know how appreciative I am about what you do. Fostering these dogs and taking them in to nurse them back to health and to (literally!) save their lives... it's such an honorable and selfless thing to do. Not many people have those kind of qualities these days.
And, like you, I feel the same way about people who just "throw away" their pets! In my opinion, when you select and purchase a pet, you are making a decision that involves responsibility and commitment! You are making a promise to love and care for the animal for the remainder of the pet's life. To abandon a pet (for whatever reason!) is something that really angers me...
Anyway, Four looks like such a happy and handsome dog! I'm sure you'll take great care of him... Don't forget to update with all the details and let us know what happens with Four!
♥
I love a happy ending! Four is adorable, I bet it is kinda hard to let him go.
skillz, i love ya hun..
i am not one of those people that treat their dogs like people. (ya know the unhealthy wacko's who put them before humans beings, children that are starving, etc..) but i do love me some dogs..
afew months back one of the dozens of teens that call my pad home left a gate open. after searching for hours for my dobie shep. and my lil shitzu, the shep was sitting on my front steps. i said princess, where is malachi? she howeled in a blood piercing way i have never heard but slowly walked me to a block away from my house where i found my lil bro, the shitzu called malachi laying on the side of the road with a severe head bashed in type trauma..
i picked that lil mut up wgetting blood all over me and screamed a scream as if it was my own flesh and blood. i sat n the street letting cars go around me crying and wailing like a baby. a good friend who was at one time my psychologist (long story) blocked traffic till i was ready to get up. i cried, and cried, and cried some more. yup, this biker dude who has hung with patchers and inflicted a hurtin to so many people without even a look back was broken in the street.
after straightening up and burying my lil bro after his last breath i said to the counselor guy.. i am sorry for acting like that.
he said, why would you ever apologize for losing a good friend.. he was a good friend. i am sorry for your loss..
god bless ya skillz,
your homie that loves those gifts from God,
Brother Frankie

sKILLz,
I despise people who dump an animal in order to move into a newer nicer place. What jerks! I don't get it at all. I would never ever abandon my animals. There are people I would give up sooner than I would my pets. I consider them my kids.
You and Gypsy are so nice to help Four out. Wish I could take him, but I think 6 animals in a half a double is my limit.
Love you,
SB
Frankie, MEM , & Victoria :
Thank you for your comments.
We have a really hard time saying no to these types of situations.
Just knowing that we were able to save a dogs life makes us feel great.
We don't do it for rewards or money or praise but just simply for the animals.
If they could go and make a home and live on their own they would but that's not the case.
So as hard as it is to take a dog in that we KNOW were going to fall in love with we do it.
I have posted updates on FOUR already!
Honestly if you go out and get any kind of pet you MUST make a commitment to them no matter what and when people don't situations like FOUR come around.
It's all good because I am a FIRM believer in what goes around comes around!
Stay Up!
Lou:
He was a great dog and of course it is hard to let him go after he slept in my own bed and I looked in to his eyes which I believe shows the soul.
As hard as it may be we do it as long as we know that the animal is going to another loving home, no matter how long he has left he is no longer in the shelter and no longer on the "kill list".
He is in someones home, chilling in a bed. Eating good food, playing and has human contact.
Thanks Lou
Stay Up!
Brother Frankie:
I know what it feels like to lose a loved pet.
To me and my wife they are our children, even the ones we foster.
It is kind of funny, I forgot to put it in the post but on 9.17 LAST YEAR was the SAME DAY we had to put our beloved cat Charlie Girl down.
Here it is a year later on the SAME DAY and were saving a life, FOUR, by taking him in!
I am sorry for your loss and feel your pain, sometimes the thought of my losses makes me cry.
Big Brooklyn hugs going out to homie!
Stay Up!
SB:
Four was NO trouble at all.
Believe me part of me wanted to say no, and I always say "we can't say them all Gypsy" however FOUR stuck a heart string and rang it loud.
We have more then enough room in our apartment.
We have the whole floor and believe me it is big.
We have a room that I am making into a office and right now in under construction and if things get a little crazy we said FOUR can go into the spare room, however that was not needed AT ALL.
He was a wonderful dog to have in our home and would take him in if he needed it no problem.
I posted a very quick update on him and whats going on as well.
Thanks SB
Stay Up!

Hey G-Friend, It's been a hot minute but stopping in to give a shout to you and the wife. I think you've got a novel idea w/the Friday Fucktards, way funny!
I really miss you guys. I was just thinking about you both. This weather makes me think of Brooklyn, you know the leaves, the crisp air, the friends, you two that I've got mad mad love for.
