HEY THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH ...FOR BRINGING MY DOG TO THE POUND!! I RESCUED COOKIE DURING THE WINTER, WHEN I FOUND HER DURING ONE OF OUR WORST AND COLDEST RAIN STORMS, COVERED IN ICE AND TERRIFIED! AND LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS 15 YEARS OLD, FOAMING AT THE MOUTH WITH LIPS SO DROOPY SHE DROOLED NON STOP, UNCONTROLLABLY, AND NOBODY WANTED ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER. SHE WAS LEFT IN FRONT OF A HOSTEL IN VENICE BEACH, TIED TO A POLE WITH A SHOE STRING, AND THE HOSTEL STAFF SAID THEY JUST LEFT HER, AND THAT ANIMAL CONTROL WAS LITERALLY ON THE WAY TO PICK HER UP. SHE WOULDNT COME WITH ME AT FIRST, BUT WHEN ANIMAL CONTROL PULLED UP AND TRIED TO DETAIN HER, SHE THREW HERSELF ON ME, AS IF SHE HAD GOTTEN A VISION OF HER FATE AND THE TO COME FOR HER, AND HAS BEEN BY MY SIDE SINCE. I NURTURED HER BACK TO HEALTH, PAYED FOR VET VISITS THAT I COULDN'T EVEN AFFORD AT THE TIME, AND I FEED HER THE BEST DOG FOOD ON THE MARKET, (SHES SUCH A PICKY EATER, SHE WOULDNT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE)...I DID THIS ALL WITHOUT COMPLAINT, (AS I WAS STILL TRYING TO FIND HER ORIGINAL OWNER), AND ID DO IT ALL AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT, WITHOUT THINKING TWICE ABOUT THE HUGE DAMPER ALL THIS PUT ON MY ENTIRE FINANCIAL SITUATION, MOSTLY DUE TO THE EXTREMELY POUR TIMING IN MY LIFE, IN WHICH RESCUING A DOG AND NURSING HER BACK TO HEALTH SIMPLY WASN'T THE WISEST OF THINGS FOR ME TO DO AT THE TIME. OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IS UNBREAKABLE AND THE PERSONALITY THIS DOG HAS IS UNMATCHED. SHE LOVES ME TO DEATH AND I LOVE HER JUST THE SAME. WITH ALL THAT SAID, THIS POUND WILL NOT LET ME GET HER OUT! BECAUSE IM NOT THE SCUMBAG THAT LEFT HER IN THE RAIN WITH NO FOOD OR WATER, AND NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD WHAT HAPPENS TO HER!! ONLY THAT PERSON CAN GET HER!! IF YOU MET COOKIE A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND SAW THE STATE SHE WAS IN, AND WITNESSED HER TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN THEN AND NOW, YOU'D BE ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS KNOWING ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT DITCHED HER CAN GET HER BACK!!!
ON TOP OF ALL THIS, AND I SAY THIS WITH ABSOLUTE SINCERITY AND FACT, AS THIS NEXT MENTIONED ISSUE, HAPPENED TO ME PERSONALLY AROUND 2017/2018, BUT WORDS CANT EXPRESS MY SADNESS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE COOKIE WAS BROUGHT TO THE SAME EXACT POUND WHOSE STAFF ARE VERY WELL KNOWN FOR ILLEGALLY SELLING PEOPLES DOGS FOR PERSONAL PROFIT!! THATS ANOTHER STORY, BUT THIS POUND ILLEGALLY ADOPTED MY DOG, MOONSHINE, WHO RAN AWAY JULY28-2017/18....WHEN I CAME TO GET HER ON AUGUST 2 OF THAT YEAR, THEY TOLD ME "SHE WAS ADOPTED IN JUNE...SHE RAN AWAY IN MAY.. WHY ARE YOU COMING TO GET HER IN AUGUST?" ..WHICH WAS AN ABSOLUTE LIE, AND MY PHOTOS OF HER ON 4TH OF JULY , WHICH WERE TAKEN RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOT OUT (LIKE SHE ALWAYS DID) AND ANOTHER INTERFERING "HELPER" BROUGHT HER TO THIS POUND, INSTEAD OF DOING VERY BASIC AND OBVIOUS THINGS TO SIMPLY HAVE HER LEAD THEM BACK TO WHERE SHE CAME FROM..HER HOME!! I NEVER SAW MOONSHINE AGAIN, I WAS ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN AND DEPRESSED FOR LIKE 2YEARS OVER IT... AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, THIS EXACT NIGHTMARE HAS ME ABSOLUTELY DISTRAUGHT, KNOWING THIS EXACT SCENARIO COULD HAPPEN TO COOKIE NOW!!! JUST LEAVE PEOPLES DOGS ALONE, BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU ABSOLUTELY HHAVEE TO INTERFERE, DONT BRING THEM TO A POUND! WELL, UNLESS YOURE A DOG HATER IN DISGUISE, AND SECRETLY WANT THAT DOG TO BE TAKEN FROM ITS FAMILY FOREVER, OR WORSE, MURDERED!!!!..... BECAUSE IN CASE YOU WERE UNAWARE ,THATS LITERALLY WHAT IS TO BE EXPECTED, WHEN YOU DROP A DOG OFF AT THE DOGGY MURDER PALACE!!!
