How could they abandon a senior Sheltie

Because people suck thats why. You can not believe how common that is. We see it almost every week at the shelter. People get tired of the old dog and they get rid of it. Sometimes they don't want to be bothered with making decisions regarding end of life issues so they pass the buck. I don't understand it.

I just hope karma finds them when they are old.

With a soul like that I bet it gets them later if not sooner :wink2:

Sad the other pups died.
 
I am so happy that she has found a good home and will be loved for whatever time she has left. Dumping seniors is sadly incredibly common. We see it all the time in rescue. Working in rescue you see the worst of humanity, but you also see the best of humanity. One of my first fosters was a tiny (est age 14+) senior sheltie who had been left tied overnight to the door knob on our local shelter for the staff to find when they came to work the following morning. Knowing such an old doggie would probably never get adopted from the shelter, they called me and asked if I could take her into rescue. I figured she would never get adopted and would be with us for the rest of her life... we named her Precious because she was such a sweet gentle soul. Within 6 weeks of her being listed for adoption on the rescue site a truly wonderful young couple drove 700 miles to come and adopt her. She lived for another 2 1/2 years, dearly loved and deeply grieved when she passed. It is people like this couple who help us keep faith in humanity.

Wow, what a great ending for Precious. I too have "seen it all" at the shelter I volunteer at. There are some fabulous big-hearted people out there for sure. Just gotta hope they outnumber the awful ones.
