Some of you know the story of what i have been trying to do with several dogs owned by a man who keeps them in terrible dirty conditions and on a chain. Well recently someone has been putting poison down and 3 of the dogs have died.
Yesterday my own dog Roxy died too. I had her autopsied and the vet said that it was probably rat poison by the looks of things.
I have cried myself silly and i blame myself completely, there is no one else to blame. I should have kept a better eye on my own dogs. When i go to the bottom of the mountain i let my dogs off the lead as they will never go far from me and then start letting the other dogs off their chains. Then we all walk up to the mountain together.
I can’t help but think to myself if i had not started this hero thing, then Roxy would still be alive today. She was only 3 years old and didn’t deserve to die. She was a lively and friendly dog whom everyone loved. I miss her so much.
My question is, did she die in vain. There are 5 dogs left. I have taken one in, my friend has taken 2 for the time being and there are 2 left with the guy. I want to get them all adoped into safe homes. This won’t bring back my Roxy, but i dont’ want her death to be for nothing.
Boxer - Black and white male dog. very friendly. Knows his name and is just a little excitable, but that could just be because he is always on a chain.
Tyson - Black and white male dog. Smaller than Boxer and very friendly also. He also knows his name and can be a little shy/scared of strangers.
Petal - Female black / brown and white. She is a loving dog, but is a little shy and scared of strangers. She has the most loving eyes.
Sunshine - Female black dog. She seems the most afraid of the bunch. She comes when calls but then crawls on her stomach like she is expecting to get shouted at or hit. She is quite thin and has a few scars on her face.
Moody - Brown male dog. He has a wild look in his eye and needs a firm hand. He is very lively and likes to play bite. He is a good dog, but looks a little scary.
They are all between 3 - 5 years old. They have all been neutered/spayed, vaccinated, de-fleaed, and de-wormed.
Please if you know of anyone who would like a dog or you could help spread the word or put thier profiles up on a website for adoptions please pm me. I can send you photos of them very soon through email.
Thank you
