Let me add this since some didn’t understand the message - this is for rescues who don’t back their dogs.
————————————————————————
THIS IS FOR THE CONNECTICUT RESCUES THAT CONTINUOUSLY IMPORT DOGS INTO OUR STATE.
STOP BRINGING DOGS INTO CONNECTICUT IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF TAKING THEM BACK WHEN AN ADOPTION FAILS.
And if you’re feeling some type of way about this post, IF THE SHOE FITS, STRUT HONEY. 💅
I am so fu***ng TIRED of watching dogs get shipped into this state, adopted out, and then abandoned by the very organizations that promised to save them.
You want to call yourself a rescue? Then ACT LIKE ONE.
Your responsibility does not end when the adoption fee hits your bank account. It does not end when the dog leaves your care. And it certainly does not disappear when an adopter reaches out because things aren’t working out.
Let’s talk about some numbers.
ONE Connecticut rescue currently has 181 animals available for adoption. YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT. 181 ANIMALS.
Another rescue has 24 imported dogs available for adoption.
Another one has OVER 15.
And last but not least just another importing rescue 71 AVAILABLE ANIMALS - IMPORTED
HOW ABSOLUTELY SICKENING.
My question is simple. What happens when those adoptions don’t work out? Do you have the space, funding, fosters, and resources to take those animals back? Or will they become someone else’s problem while you continue bringing more dogs into Connecticut?
Because we are already seeing what happens when rescues fail to stand behind their dogs.
These animals are ending up in animal control facilities, being dumped, facing euthanasia, or sitting stranded while the organizations responsible for them continue importing MORE.
HOW IS THAT RESCUE?
I don’t give a damn if you’re a registered nonprofit. That title means absolutely NOTHING if you refuse to stand behind the animals you committed to saving.
You cannot preach about saving lives while turning your back on the very dogs you brought here.
Meanwhile, other rescues, animal control officers, and concerned individuals are left scrambling to clean up YOUR mess, spending their own time, money, and resources to save dogs YOU abandoned.
STOP PRIORITIZING ADOPTION NUMBERS OVER LIFETIME RESPONSIBILITY.
Connecticut already has dogs sitting in municipal pounds waiting for homes. We do not need more dogs brought into this state by organizations that have no plan for them when an adoption fails.
Rescue is not about how many dogs you can move. It’s about how many dogs you are willing to stand behind, even when things get difficult.
If you cannot commit to a dog for its entire life, STOP CALLING YOURSELF ITS RESCUER.
And to the rescues that continue doing this while leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces:
YOU ARE NOT HELPING THE CRISIS. YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO IT.
I’m beyond fed up with this bu****it.
THE DOGS DESERVE BETTER. CONNECTICUT DESERVES BETTER. AND IT’S TIME WE START HOLDING THESE RESCUES ACCOUNTABLE.
