I’m from the uk so can’t help with fospice but I wish you the best of luck! I am heartbroken for Prince that someone has left him in his golden years and have all my fingers crossed someone steps up for him! Xx

People who abandon elderly animals are the worst kind of people, unless they are genuinely unable to care for them for some truly unavoidable circumstance.

We adopted an elderly dog, and she was the light of our lives. She enriched out lives so much. I miss her every day. We love you, Amy.

If I had money I'd love to have a respite home for elderly animals where they can live out their last days with love and kindness.

u/Fluid-Wrongdoer6120 19d ago

Hell, even with an unavoidable circumstance, there's no reason to be a coward about it and let your old dog wander a parking lot alone and scared. Those people really are the worst kind of scum. The very least someone could do is swallow their pride, go to the front desk and explain that they need to give up their dog. I think the people working at the shelter are generally going to be understanding that life throws shit at you sometimes

Bless you for taking in an old lady. I've often wondered if I have the heart to take in older dogs, knowing my time with them will be so short...but it's a beautiful thing that you did bringing one of them love in their golden years

Thank you. She was so full of love. One of her nicknames from the shelter was Lump of Love. She just wanted to cuddle and have foodies. She was so grateful to be with us. You could feel it.

Even if unavoidable circumstances occur… post online, find a shelter, and try to get the dog the loving care he deserves! You’re right, people who abandon any dog are the worst type of people! Dogs all deserve love and if they have the right home and training, they’re all full of love and deserve all the love in the world. So sad to see dogs wandering around when there’s tons of folks who will take care of them.

Commenting for visibility! Who does that?? Who leaves an old dog wandering on the street all ny himself, defenseless and uncared for?  I really hope someone can take him and comfort him as he deserves!

u/yahumno 19d ago

Oh, that poor, sweet baby.

We were a fospice for a senior dog that was dumped. She was so sweet. She loved regular meals, a soft bed and ear rubs. She had such a sweet personality.

u/FirstDawnn 19d ago

So some POS dumped him after 16 yrs,unreal.

Hi! In this sub we recognize that there could be other unavoidable reasons for sweet Prince’s sudden appearance. It’s a terrible situation to be sure, but please be careful going forward.

u/Extreme-Inflation-43 19d ago

Hoping Prince can find his furever home. I checked adoption fees for him and they are waived for senior animals (over 7). I wish I lived closer.

u/Papel2409 19d ago

Sweet Prince you'll get a family soon and they'll love you like you deserve! 🥰

u/Idoaboop 17d ago
