Our final update on Sweetie the Husky
We understand the frustration of not knowing. The whole WORLD has time invested in this dog. We hope you believe the information below in our post, most of all we hope you believe us.
Misinformation is still running rampant, and we understand why— but we also know that Sweeties best interest is being kept in mind. You can choose to believe our update or not— you can unfollow us, you can say we’re wrong, you can say we didn’t do anything for Sweetie that day but please know that she is not sitting in a shelter, or a cage, or WEARING A BASKET MUZZLE AND BOOTIES IN 100+ DEGREE WEATHER.
We met a great contact the day Sweetie was put into protective custody. A wonderful older woman who has been working diligently behind the scenes— actively speaking to Merced PD, the DA, writing the city council, giving statements, providing her own evidence and being a true advocate for Sweetie. Collectively we have located Sweetie and know where she is. Will we be disclosing this information? The simple answer is no.
She was saved, whether you know where she is or not. The rescue she is with doesn’t want or need your donations, they also don’t need thousands of people calling or emailing for updates either. She is SAFE.
These are the FACTS we have confirmed:
• She was released to a local Merced rescue
• She was flown out of the state of California
• She is NOT rotting away in the shelter system
• She is healthy, being regularly fed, and has been SPAYED.
• The organization she is with has been briefed of her past and will ensure her adopters are screened and she fits into the family well. She also may have already been adopted.
Sweetie should not leave your thoughts, but should provoke you all to continue advocating for the dogs on the streets. Remember, you all played a part in this ONE dogs rescue. Think of ALL the dogs still living on the streets that are susceptible to the same things Sweetie was put through.
We think about our Stockton pups every day and every night. Are they safe? Did we leave enough food and water? Did the city destroy the shelter we built for them? Are they being abused? Will we wake up tomorrow to find them still on this earth?
We have hundreds of dogs on the streets of Stockton that are suffering just like Sweetie— dieing of heatstroke, being hit by cars, dieing of Parvo and other horrible things. We don’t know if they’ll be there tomorrow. So, if you want to do something on behalf of Sweetie, come to Stockton, if you can save a dog, come with us.
