One thing I have learned from this whole f*cked up mess, is there’s a lot of fake people in my community and a lot of liars. With life being all about lessons, I have learnt that within my community, these rescues and shelters are far from helping the animals and everything about looking good. It seems to be a popularity contest with who can “pull” the most animals from the shelter and who can get the most funding to “help” the animals.
These rescues are not about the animals. If they were they would know that some animals act differently when they feel they’re in danger. Hell I don’t know not one dog that wouldn’t attempt to growl or attack if they thought harm was going to come to them. I don’t know not ONE human that wouldn’t attempt to attack if they thought they were in danger.
Yoda, is so scared right now, and him being scared is what it ultimately going to kill him. They see a vicious dog, they don’t see a dog that thinks he is about to be hurt. Hell, Yoda, isn’t a stupid dog, he has probably heard them talk about killing him, so he is letting them know they won’t get close enough to do it.
I had a feeling things weren’t going to go well for him, so I did what I could to figure something else out. I was contacted on facebook from a trainer for a rescue group that tries to get all the animals from the shelter… She told me so many lies, I guess this was so that I would allow her to train Yoda. She let me know all the aggressive dogs she has worked with, she let me know the way to go about it, lead me to think the rescue would pull him. HAH she just showed the rescues true meaning, and it sure the hell isn’t for the animals.
I cannot say all rescues are the way the ones are in my area, but if they are, scared dogs that feel they’re in danger have no hope, they have no chance, they’re written off before they even have a chance to show who they really are.
Yoda, is a very energetic dog, he always wants to play. We played with him A LOT, now he is stuck in a small cage, he has no room to run, so he has no way to let out his energy. With no way to exhaust his energy, he will always stay in pissed off mode. I regret so much about the 22nd, I regret attempting to take the stick after he decided he was done playing, I regret not following through with getting him training after he bite me the first time. Funny thing about that one is the trainer and I quote said “but the sad truth is that there are just some dogs that can’t be fixed.”
I told the second trainer what the first trainer said and she said… “It’s super rare a dog cannot be helped, unless legal issues are involved. Don’t give up.”
The first trainer I contacted that stated some dogs cannot be fixed, he said he was willing to work with Yoda, and it would take a lot of training, but Yoda could be helped. He then said the same as the female trainer, about it being super rare that a dog cannot be helped. Of course this was all after knowing Yoda’s fate lies within the shelter and when I thanked him for going out there and talking with me about this, he said… “No problem. If he does end up with a rescue let me know. He hasn’t had rabies shot and that’s part of the problem. He could be helped with tons of work but unfortunately he’s already at the shelter and they have the say in whether he can go or not. .I talked with them for a few minutes after you left and is pretty much 100% that he won’t leave the pound. They can’t risk adopting him out and then him biting someone. ..”
I didn’t ask them to adopt him out, I told them I will pay all vetting and training and I wanted him to come home, I also said I understood if he couldn’t come home, but I would still pay for everything he needed to get him out of the shelter a live.
I know Yoda has aggression issues, however, I also know my dog and I know he wasn’t aggressive all the time, nor was he aggressive to people we had in our home. I know deep down with proper training, he could have been helped. I am going to miss that dog more than anything.
God please give me the strength to understand, be there to help guide me and thank you for allowing me to love Yoda for as long as I could.
The lesson I learned through all this, NO ONE can be trusted. My dog couldn’t be trusted because he had his own demons, and the humans that claim to be all for the animals, HA my dog could be more trusted then them jokers.
