If I didn't have cats now, this girl would have been adopted by now.

Looks like a very good girl to me!

She’s getting old. I hope someone adopts her so she could spend her last years in comfort & not alone.

Damn. Came from an abusive relationship. How could someone do that.
jimmyhowlett
This is why we need to take pet ownership more seriously. I called a local shelter and she ranted for like 20 minutes about this stuff.
Conconfun
I just called! She needs to be in a home that doesn’t have new people coming and going so it’s not a fit for me! :( someone get her!
mayarai42
Aww... how come? Thank you for trying.
Direkt4
They're an in-call escort.

We are moving there in the fall, if she's still there, she might just come home with me.

SECOND chance? Need more details.

She was abused by her first owner

Dear Darling @mrpuckett will you help get Ginger adopted? You're the most influential helpful kind person I know.
TehDude333
Could we as a country agree to have Open Country Shelters? Maybe we could build them like Dog Ranches? This is like prison for dogs...

7 years is insane?! I want more back story and I'm gonna be triple upset if there isn't one and this is unexplainable

Yes, please! Tell us!!!

I would love to adopt bubby :(

I am one of those dogs that the kennel just terrifies me!! I just recently completed the Dogwood 6 week obedience class, too. >

ThatsWhatSheSaid09
We adopted an older dog 5 years ago who had spent more than half her life in shelters, she's a spoiled baby now! Do it! Someone, do it!
Getshanked
I have a puppy otherwise I'd get them but they specifically say they need to be only dog. Which is sad we been looking for a playmate
ThatsWhatSheSaid09
That is difficult when they need to be the only pet.
HatinS8N
How many people did it maul? Because if it didn’t. I’m out.
ThatsWhatSheSaid09
Our dog hasn't ever mauled anyone, to my knowledge. But she is unusual looking. A beagle and golden retriever mix, she was cagey at first
ThatsWhatSheSaid09
But has gotten used to everyone and everything. She's grouchy now because she's old barely has teeth so...
KillingTlme
My last dog died at 7 years old from Cushings. I would never adopt a dog over 5 after going through those last 2 years of sadness and bills.
KillingTlme
So those of you that do adopt older pets are saints!
ThatsWhatSheSaid09
She was 5 ish when we got her and she has a few health problems but older dogs are tough for sure.

And this is why you should not be allowed to have animals anywhere near you.
lsybarra
someone else was on my computer! i am sorry
PaicerSK
The fuck you talking about? I adopted a 4 year old pitbull was $275 to bring her to her forever home. Done. No more money. Sweetest pup btw
lsybarra
someone else was on my computer. i am sorry
ThatsWhatSheSaid09
Our lab puppy who is also a rescue, has cost us way more $ than our old dog for sure.
srslysterling
Needing a second chance makes it sound like Ginger killed her first owner
Short4ScooterPie
Contrary. She was abused. Petfinder link above b
srslysterling
Again, I'm not saying I think that's the actual scenario I just think the sign is cryptic and might put people off.
isamario
From the description in her page, she was in an abusive situation, but has never bit.
srslysterling
Yeah man I'm not saying I think that's the real scoop I'm just saying the sign made me double-take and made me hesitant.
thejohe
Sounds like a dangerous animal, Im around dogs on a daily basis, you'd be surprised how shit 90% of owners are, zero discipline, all it 1/2
thejohe
Takes is a shitty owner(s) to ruin a good dog's life, if you aren't willing to put a lifetime of work into a best friend, DONT ADOPT
Zaruzen
I wished I lived in america just so I could give ginger her second chance :(
lookitupyourself
Samesies
Cremzinc
How does that happen? All that time. I would instantly adopt such doggies.
threedollarpants
Everyone, @KingHyrule64 is going to see her next week for possible adoption. Hail to the King!
mayarai42
Well? How did it go?
threedollarpants
Ginger got adopted from what I read, but someone got to her before King Hyrule I think. I dunno, I didn’t hear back from him/her.
Maverick8778
Don't wanna be that guy but saying "second chance" makes it sound like they fouled up their first chance badly... they should change wording
whiskeywednesday
I read 'second crance' so that's okay
SaltCollector
"Need to be the only pet" combined with "second chance" certainly sounds ominous!
dragonherder
I'd wager the dog was abused and would need to be acclimated to a family properly before other animals so probably a good idea.
Maverick8778
Yeah I've been looking at adoptions recently and I see a lot of the "need to be only pet" :( it's usually previous abuse or negligence
dragonherder
Typically it makes them apprehensive so "play" can turn a little too violent because they are skittish from the abuse :(. Makes me super mad
dragonherder
at the previous owner every single time and the shelters can't do much to acclimate them all that well either. It's why fostering can be

Thanks!
GreyArea51
As awful as it is that she’s been there for so long, just be thankful she’s not in a kill shelter.
Luficer
Just trying to inform here, not start a fight. I run a rescue. Kill shelters or no kill shelters. Most rescues do what they can /1
Luficer
Imagine having animal upon animal dropped off to you with a issues. Having bit, health issues, mistreated..etc. What do you want us to do?/2
Luficer
Only so many can be saved. Try running a rescue in your spare time. We are non profit and get the joy of seeing second/third/forth chance /3
Luficer
But you cannot save them all. We can only try. The biggest reason being the ones that caused this in the first case. Humans. /4
Luficer
So please don't hate on "Kill Shelters"
jimmyhowlett
There's a fine line between surviving and living and that dog is on the wrong side
inb4zombies
kill shelter is just a word for underfunded shelter. often, but not always, kill shelters are shelters legally obligated to take ALL 1/2
inb4zombies
pets. these are city shelters as opposed to private shelters that can choose what animals to take in. this was explained to me only recently
Luficer
inb4zombies
obligatory “peta sucks” so under no circumstance should animals go to their shelters obviously.
mrsdowneyjr
I'm no PETA but I think it's crueler to keep them locked up this long
rinnyshinnyshinnyshoebank11
Thank you for not being peta.
Nerdstalgia
A cat I adopted 6 years ago was there for about 4-5 years IIRC. People would adopt him because the one eye Is “cute” and at that time (1/?)
Nerdstalgia
he was named “Captain Mango”. His cutesy name and look betrayed a very skittish and trauma filled cat. I think the average person (2/?)
Nerdstalgia
isn’t really prepared fully when they rescue animals with specific needs. I hope this pup gets a good and loving home, though. (3/3)
mrsdowneyjr
Pics?
lillayaga
I'd rather be killed
FettuccineAlfred
Let's not impose your preferences on an animal that can't voice its own
lillayaga
I said I'D not IT WOULD
ClouderWalker
Yeah, she had such a good life being locked up in that little space.
youreablurb
I can’t speak for this shelter, but the humane society I’ve volunteered at had runs out through that little door you see in the back, which
youreablurb
were always open if the weather was nice. In addition, they were walked at least three times a day by volunteers, and often taken out to
youreablurb
adoption events at every chance that occurred, which was a lot. It wasn’t as god as being with a loving family 24/7, but it was still loving
butthurtnevergetsbetter
Er, that's more than half that dog's life. WTF.
FierceAndAdorable
Needs to be the only pet, sadly meaning she is high liability dog and probably returned a few times for going after other neighborhood dogs
neverborne
Which is why leash laws are so important. Neighbor dog may be friendly but if yours isn't, both need to be on a leash
NotAgainRichard
"dont worry shes friendly!"
NotAgainRichard
"YEAH BUT MINES NOT!"
neverborne
Our very first dog was like that. Very aggressive esp to other dogs but also people - multiple instances of having dogs run out to "play" 1/
mjperk
I've had to exclaim this to countless idiots. It is so frustrating.
lifetorn
Would you rather they put it down?
FierceAndAdorable
I would not rather, but if the are biting, attacking will only live life in a cage it might be better for them. I’d rather be put down
AlexCake
Personally, I think that's better.
lifetorn
A logical step in the direction of execute all prisoners!
SqueakerBot
You understand that dogs don't have the mental capacity to understand captivity or isolation, right? They just know they're caged forever.
lifetorn
You think people have the mental capacity to understand captivity or isolation? That's why prisons work so well. Change people for good.
AlexCake
I honestly don't value animals as high as people.
lifetorn
You shouldn't.
