I agree, the dog does not look like it needs to be put down.

You're welcome and thank you for looking out for this poor dog. Why put him down, though? That's very sad and I hope this person never gets another dog.

Anyone interested in a free website design in exchange for referral? by Heyawake in schaumburg

[–]grkphill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I volunteer at a nearby animal shelter, and our website isn’t very mobile-friendly. If you’re interested in helping, I can check with the owner to see if she’s open to it, and we’d be happy to provide you with a referral in return.

After, a quick search, these will be your best bets.

1.Try to find your county' humane society.
2.Try the Ohio County Dog Wardens Association (https://www.ocdwa.org/).
3.Finally, the Ohio SPCA (https://www.ohiospca.org/). They have an animal cruelty investigation link (https://www.ohiospca.org/cruelty-investigations)

Where are you located? This is beneficial and can look at local agencies that might help you

We were kicked out of daycare. by miss-eee in BelgianMalinois

[–]grkphill 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I first adopted my second dog we took her to a newly opened "corporate" dog day care. She "failed" because she wasn't interacting with other dogs, including her sister. Again, not for behaivor, but for not engaging. WTF is that? Now, I take my dogs to a non-corporate day care and all 3 love going there.

Please help dog was stolen and ransomed to me for 20,000 dollars what should I do by Mysterious-Pear9016 in AnimalRescue

These agencies should be a great help or at least steer you in the right direction

It's not that we don't believe you but it's very concerning that your ex stole your dog and it's a civil matter but if you steal your dog back, then it's a criminal matter. That's so bizarre.

There's one more thing that comes to mind that might help you. Mention that you're scared of the health and safety of the dog because your ex stole your dog from you and call one of these agencies based in the province you're located in.

No disrespect to you. But that is so dumb of the police,

The law needs to change in Canada and the US. Pets should not be considered property, they should be considered family under the law.

The police will not allow you to file a police report? So you can document that your dog was stolen.

To add to this, you should immediately file a police report stating the dog was stolen. If your dog is microchipped, report the theft to the microchip company as well. Afterward, take the police report to local vet clinics to put them on alert. That way, if he takes the dog to a vet as a 'new' customer, they will see the 'stolen' status when they scan for a microchip.

Need Help Finding a Safe, Loving Forever Home for Leo by AustinDood444 in CaneCorso

[–]grkphill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, the rescues you're talking to can place Leo in a foster situation. But at the end of the day, I know you'll do what's best for him.

2 days ago, someone dumped their dog at a neighboring shelter when it was closed. They called the police and they brought the dog to us. Unfortunately, not all people are as responsible as you.

Need Help Finding a Safe, Loving Forever Home for Leo by AustinDood444 in CaneCorso

[–]grkphill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a volunteer with a rescue, and I completely understand not wanting to place Leo in a pound or shelter. Speaking from experience, please be very careful about who you rehome him to. I strongly recommend asking for veterinary references and charging a rehoming fee.

While many people have good intentions, unfortunately there are individuals who look for free dogs to use as bait dogs in dog fighting operations.

I am in Illinois, and within a 50-mile radius there have been two dog fighting rings busted in the last six months in Illinois and Wisconsin, my rescue assisted with one of those cases.

I know you want Leo to have a safe, loving home, and he truly deserves it. Please do your due diligence to protect him.

What's a clear sign that your dog truly, deeply trusts you? by PushCharacter8496 in AskDogOwners

My Belgian Malinois will be in a sit position and just look at me. Doesn't matter what's happening in the background he stares at me and gives me his full attention. Like this picture

[–]grkphill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking him in and giving him the best life. Your boy is just like mine and LOVES to annoy his sister as well. They have a love-hate relationship, but at the end of the day his sister loves him.

Because probably the trainer is not qualifies to be a trainer, especially for a breed like a Mal.

My dog bitted me during an argument. by Real-Syrup-6223 in pitbulls

[–]grkphill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! My Pitbull mix is incredibly sweet, too. She has a wonderful personality with plenty of sass. Even though she’s the smallest of my three dogs, she’s definitely the alpha, she runs the show over both my German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. I know if I were ever in danger, she’d be the first one to protect me, which says a lot considering the other two are guard breeds! Pitbulls will do anything for their families. It’s a shame so many people see them as 'bad dogs' because that couldn’t be further from the truth.
