RIP Sin

[PitBull_30]

Sin, my rescue, was staying with my friend Ryan for a week while I was gone. He had a rescue he had just gotten who had a litter of 6 pups that were 7 1/2 weeks old so he had his hands full but he said he could take him. The owner of a dog he had rehomed (also a rescue) almost a year ago said that they had gotten a cat and she killed it so they can't keep her and they'd either give her back to him or she was going to be put down so he said to drop her off. (Whoo! Sorry about the run-on sentence) Needless to say he had too many dogs so he dropped Sin off at the humane society for the night expecting to pick him up in the morning. As he was leaving some guy told him he left a pit here yesterday and they wouldn't give him back so before he had even left the building he asked for him back and they said they have a no-adopt policy on Pit Bulls and he couldn't have him back. Ryan called me and I was back by morning to try to get him out. Ryan looks kind of like the thug type so I thaught maybe they didn't want to give Sin to him in particular so I tried. They said PETA had been bugging them for months to get on board with the no-adopt policy and they had made it official 3 DAYS AGO! She said she knew the dog I was talking about and he had been put down about 20 minutes after he was brought in. Sin, or Sam as we called him in public, was one of the sweetest dogs I have ever seen. He was great with my nieces and loved attention. When I sat on the floor with my nieces on my knees he'd sit between them and scoot from side to side bumping them off so he could have all the attention. He was truly a great dog and will be missed.

...sorry for your loss...

Yah, that's why HS doesn't ever need to be called. The first mistake was trusting any HS with a dog you don't expect to never see again. These groups are maniacal in their treatment of APBT. Makes me sick...

Sorry to hear of your loss. The first thing I would be doing is kicking my friends ass if he told me he would look after my dog , and then drop it off at a HS, no matter if he was looking after 50 dogs,, he told you he would look after him and he obviously did not! Just my opinion.

[asaj]

Im so sorry! but I do agree with Aceman.

[MD Reptiles]

I would sue for damages that is theft he was under the care of your friend and he released it with out your permision to the HS they are lucky it was not me I would have showed up with a few friends and colected my damages if they did not want to comply with the courts. or if the courts let me down. I am sorry to hear of your loss.

first off let me say i am SO SORRY for your loss. Sin was a beautiful dog and deserved to live out his life in full. i have had first hand experience with the HS and ABPT, which is where I got my red-nose, Dixie. she was only 10 weeks old, and had only been there for ONE day, and had my friend who worked there not called me the day Dixie came in, she would have been put down. i cannot stand the way HS treats our beloved dogs. furthermore, that is the BIGGEST load of crap i have ever heard. this is why we all need to fight against BSL!!! and kill a few PETA employees....god d@#n liberal hippy commie wanna-bes.....

sry for your loss......

[catcher T]

When u take an animal to the Humane Society u wave all your rights of ownership,,it is in small print at the bottom of the page,,alot of dogs get euth'd before u even get back into your car,,I hate ppl that make threats that if u don't take the dog right this minute the dog is going to the Humane Society,,I hear that about 20 times a week,,I want to just beat the crap out of these ppl

Sorry for your loss.

[missybee16]

I had something like this happen one time. My mom was made to give up my dog & they put her down when they took her in. I fought it & they got into all kinds of trouble. Now, they no longer put them down unless, they can't find a home.

[mdknaly]

my condolences.

[MercedesMama]

I am so sorry for your loss. This is THE reason why I never trust anyone to watch my dogs. Not even my own family. I know your friend had the best intentions, but why didnt he drop off the other dog instead of yours? I would be so pissed. Well God bless and again sorry. He was a beautiful dog. :(

[chinasmom]

So sorry to hear about your dog.

[JuicyCa]

I'm so sorry for your loss. HS and PETA are a bunch of idiots. I think it was pretty lame that your friend took him there in the first place, but the fact that they wouldn't give him back even though he hadn't left was completely ridiculous. Someone needs to shut HS down.

[SMOKIN HEMI]

AWW THAT IS MESSED UP... i AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS...

Needless to say he had too many dogs so he dropped Sin off at the humane society for the night expecting to pick him up in the morning
I'm confused. Did he arrange an overnight stay (aka boarding arrangement) with the shelter, or did he just dump the animal there thinking that there wouldn't be any problem springing the dog the next day?

[14rock]

Ethical treatment of animals surely must mean something else to these folks...I'd love to hear THEIR defintion, because murdering every single "pitbull" looking dog on the spot, certainly sounds unethical to me.

[PitBull_30]

I'm confused. Did he arrange an overnight stay (aka boarding arrangement) with the shelter, or did he just dump the animal there thinking that there wouldn't be any problem springing the dog the next day?
I used to work there and he left him there because they were so Pit friendly before. He didn't know they had a no adopt policy. He told the lady he'd be back in the morning and that he would pay the adoption fee. I guess she didn't bother to tell the person who euthed him.

Someone mentioned earlier about suing him. It was an honest mistake. Dumb on his part but he had to make a choice between two dogs. The other dog was going to go to the Humane Society in Detriot where she would have been put down for sure. Ryan used to be involved in Pits for the "bad ass" appearance but recently I've gotten him involved in dog shows, pedigrees, and he is REALLY involved in rescue. He's also gotten rid of the spike collars and heavy chains he used to walk his dog on and started teaching his dogs basic obedience. We have both gone to the nursing home my mom works at to do therapy with our Pits. He had really turned around and I think suing him might stifle the learning process a bit. It really hurt having to tell my nieces. They cried for hours. :(

[NCPatchwork]

I'm Soooo Sorry....I hope that things will look up soon

[MD Reptiles]

I mentioned suing him and it would be on good grounds. He agreed to board the dog for his friend and dropped of the dog at the HS. WHY? The first dog in should of had priority (Sin). Stupid mistakes happen all the time. The guy at McDonald's that forgets to put up a wet floor sign and someone breaks their leg, good example. I had this happen to me once. I was the guy that was boarding a female head strong Pit Bull X Staff. It was suposed to be for only one month. Three months later, she tries to attack my wife. I called the owner and said "you have 30 days to find a place for her or she is going to the pound. She is not my dog, she doesn't know me, she is trained to attack and she is out of control and I can not stop her." This was all true. She had no reason to listen to me, she was a 7 year old dog with her mind set. But I still gave her 30 day, let's just say she became friendly with her muzzle. I did not want to but I said 30 days in a muzzle until your father figures out what to do is better than death. Two week later he showed up and apologized. I received my dog for the complications I had. He was very remorseful. I still see that dog today when she is with him. She is a different dog.

In short, you can not agree to something and not follow through with it, without discussing it with the dog's owner. As cruel as ity may sound, it would have been best to just lock the dog in the bathroom for 24 hours with a good steak and kibble supper and some toys, and maybe a radio. This is just my take on the way it should have been handled.

[PitBull_30]

I don't think locking him in a bathroom overnight would be cruel. He was locked in a crate every night. Ryan had made it clear that he was coming back for him and Deb, the lady he talked to, said nothing. My anger is directed at PETA, HS, and Debrah S... dang it. I can't post her full name. Now I have lots of cute pics of Sin and my nieces to show those trying to ban Pits in Detroit. I also have a story of a dog that knew nothing but abuse but showed nothing but love to all who would take it. I'm tempted to go down there and tell Debrah to explain to my nieces (4 and 6) why she let their best friend die. I think it would be to hard on them. After I told them they literally cried for hours.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, but what in the world was Ryan thinking???? Taking a dog to the pound?? What - did he think he could use it as some kind of boarding facility or something??? They have things for that already - they're called BOARDING KENNELS. I'm sure they have some in your area. He should have NEVER taken that dog to the pound!!

I'm sorry should I come off a little pissy but what appeared to be a sweet, loving dog was KILLED due to the idiocy of it's human caretaker (Ryan). If he couldn't have have tended Sin like he said he would he could have let a friend sit him or boarded him at a boarding kennel or at the vet's or even put him out on a chain in his back frigging yard for the night. But he takes him to the pound??? That has to be stupidity at it's finest.

I'm sorry, but I'd be re-thinking my friendship w/ this guy.

May Sin RIP & may his murder weigh heavily on his Ryan's soul. :(

[Fangen]

Something smells funny withthis scenario.....Why would you leave a beloved pet with someone like that??

Why wpuld he not just tie up or crate the dog overnight ??

Something is odd with the story. I would whip my "friends" rear and ship him off to be euthanized.

[maryellen1]

i am sorry for your loss. however, something doesnt sound right here, why would he take YOUR dog to th pound and say he would get him the next morning?? i dont care how much you rehabilited this guy, if someone did that with my dogs i would personally beat the crap out of them.. even an idiot knows that shelters euth pits....

[Patch O' Pits]

That is so awful! I'm so sorry this happened to your poor dog!

RIP Sin and play over the rainbow bridge with all the other APBTs who were wrongly abused, accused and put down

[bakerbt]

That is why I hate peta and Hs. They all are obsessed with making the APBT exstinct.
