Woman Tells Shelter To Kill Her Dog Because She Was ‘Sick’ Of Her

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 584

Mitsie the beagle has had a rough go of things throughout the course of her life and while this dog has certainly struggled to find her place in this world, many of these problems can be attributed to the terrible upbringing that she was saddled with. Pets are no different from people, in the sense that their parents can make or break their ability to live a happy and healthy life.

After spending 11 years with her owners, Mitsie was unceremoniously abandoned and we cannot believe that they would treat her in such a harsh and unforgiving manner. Once her owners had abandoned her, it did not take long before she ended up living in an Atlanta shelter. The request that Mitsie’s mother made before giving the dog up will leave you shocked and dismayed. It may even make your blood run cold.

The shelter staff was asked to put Mitsie to sleep by her former owner. This request was not made because the dog was sick and needed to be put out of her misery, it was made because this mother was tired of the dog. Of course, this sweet and lovable dog was not put to sleep by the kind shelter staff. Instead, they told the story of this awful mother on their Facebook page, altering the world and letting them know what Mitsie had endured.

The story touched hearts everywhere and Mitsie had no shortage of offers when it came time to find a new forever home. Even though this beagle is a senior dog, she still has many suitors and it is great to see that no one else shares her mother’s point of view when it comes to her level of usefulness.

If you would like to see more of Mitsie in action, be sure to check out the awesome video below. While there are numerous pet owners out there who do not see the value of owning an older animal, those who are more willing to be open minded on the matter are already enjoying the company of senior dogs and cats on a regular basis.

Once you have seen this video for yourself, take a moment to pass it along to your friends and family members as soon as possible. Let’s all do our part to raise awareness when it comes to senior pets and their ability to serve as viable companions as they continue to age.

I'm an 11 year old beagle whose wonderful owner dumped me here. She told the shelter staff to kill me. She said she was sick of me and that was her reason for surrendering me. I can't believe I was her friend for all these years. What a fool I was to not sense the truth. I probably knew, but chose to accept my fate and now look at me.I've got my paws up here begging for someone out there to bring me home for Easter. I'm in a shelter and I don't understand why my owner did this to me. I have this heavy feeling in my heart and stomach and can barely breathe thinking about what is going to happen. Or it could be that feeling you get when a relationship you valued is completely OVER! Out of no where! You are my chance. Please restore my faith in humankind. Beagles live long lives! Although I want to turn back the clock to be young again, I regret that I have not figured out how. I need a local foster home today and donations to save my life. Donate in her precious name at www.angelsrescue.org/donate Local folks, please apply to foster Mittsie at www.angelsrescue.org/foster Please share quick! Our vets are full and she must find a place to go! Thank you a million from AAU and this little old princess! Anything extra she gets on funds will help save another life. XoxoAtlanta, GA USA

    We lost our Beagle to cancer after 10yrs of longer. We have 2 Chihuahuas that are 13yrs old. The little man has bum knee. Would not trade them for another dog. They are our babies.

    This makes me mad my dogs are both 10 now and much loved. I know that the future will be a challenge as they both get older and the insurance just gets more expensive. But I would never let them down. They have given me so much love and loyalty. To think of them alone and scared wonderering where I am just makes me panic. God live this pet it deserved so much more.

    When giving up a dog, most people have a dead end situation maybe unable to afford after losing job or owner became ill or family situation becoming unconducive (divorce etc etc).
    Some times we see young dogs (usually 1 year olds) given up because owners did not know the hardship of actually looking after a dog and decided they cannot take it and the dog lose it’s cute puppy looks.
    I have never seen any One after keeping a dog for so long just decided to go it up due to “sick of it” but hey strange world we live in.
