Aug 2015

she's gotten more than one good offer to take Yoshi. She got similar offers in the past and never acted on them. Instead, she's given the dog over to a very sketchy doggie day care. Oh, and she's also been given information about Akita rescue groups in her area.

I will await with baited breath a report that she's placed the dog with one of the above, along with new photos.

Update on TorchTheWitch [View all] Moosepoop Aug 2015 OP

So many DUers gave her resources for yoshi, cwydro Aug 2015 #1

What resource(s) in particular are you wondering about? Moosepoop Aug 2015 #3

And yet, I found TWO Akita rescue groups in her state. KittyWampus Aug 2015 #2

That was very nice of you. Moosepoop Aug 2015 #4

I could no more give up a beloved pet than I could give up any other family member. tblue37 Aug 2015 #28

Thank you, tblue37! Moosepoop Aug 2015 #39

I sent some money, but I feel like Yoshi needs to get out of there now catrose Aug 2015 #64

Thank you, catrose!! Moosepoop Aug 2015 #66

You're a great friend n/t catrose Aug 2015 #68

I'd live in a tent Aerows Aug 2015 #128

I absolutely understand. Aerows Aug 2015 #136

Awww, she's lucky to have you. cwydro Aug 2015 #137

I think it is the other way around Aerows Aug 2015 #138

shouldn't animal services be called JI7 Aug 2015 #7

This^^^^ 1,000,000 times! Quackers Aug 2015 #10

Then what will happen to yoshi??????? glinda Aug 2015 #18

Sounds like he's not being taken 840high Aug 2015 #21

what do animal services do with abused animals ? it's not just yoshi but any other animals that are JI7 Aug 2015 #23

The saga shall continue. alphafemale Aug 2015 #38

Unfortunately, the saga does continue. Moosepoop Aug 2015 #42

I have read through all the previous threads. I do not understand why this poster Tipperary Aug 2015 #65

None of it is real. alphafemale Aug 2015 #72

This message was self-deleted by its author Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #73

This message was self-deleted by its author alphafemale Aug 2015 #75

Because the poster suggested reporting neglect? cwydro Aug 2015 #76

I gather that you are (rather clumsily) attempting to insult me. I wonder why? Tipperary Aug 2015 #86

OK, this is embarassing Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #93

TTW needs to take Yoshi out of that place and report it to whatever animal care authorities are in Tipperary Aug 2015 #99

It should be shut down, but the animals would likely end up euthanized at the pound. ladyVet Aug 2015 #78

And being euthanized is worse SheilaT Aug 2015 #113

But it's a "doggie day care" as I understand. DawgHouse Aug 2015 #114

That would be my thought too. I am beginning to feel a bit weird about this whole thing. Tipperary Aug 2015 #118

What region of the country does TTW reside in? alittlelark Aug 2015 #8

PA area. N/T Texasgal Aug 2015 #9
