my husband went to a job today to change locks on a house which tenants had just up and left 4 days ago, all that was left was a load of rubbish and mess and guess what a PUPPY, he brought her home she is a beauty but not entirely sure of the breed looks like there is staff in her, anyway have given her lots of cuddles and some food and she seems fine considering her ordeal will take her to vet tomorrow for check up. I already have a 6 month border collie who seems to be fine with her, but we decided a few weeks ago after consideration that we would not get another dog, however this has made me re-consider my decision it has been impossible not to. Do you think this if fate. how can people so cruel.

Yeah this world is full of heartless, horrible people. And yes I do think it's fate for you to have that little pup. It will get all the love it deserves now.

Popeye was abandoned too. A guy I work with decided to rent a house and when he went to start fixing it up for his family there were two dogs in crates stuck inthe basement. He got ahold of the previous tenants that ignored him till I took the dog. He kept the other. Well its been four months since he originally found the dogs and no one wanted them. They came back and took the other one from him and are taking him to small claims court for the other things they left there. I told him to tell the judge about the abandoned dogs and that he took care of and that they didn't want anything out of the house at that time and let the judge decide. People really don't take to abandoning dogs very well these days.
Yes it is fate. You made that decision possibly about another puppy because this was waiting for you. He needs you the other you may have adopted didn't need you as much as this little guy!!!.

I think its fate she is a lucky girl to find such caring people as you and your husband to take her in and love her.
My mother found a kitten just before Christmas who had sticky eyes and a bad tummy upset, she took him in he was loud, annoying and demanding but with a firm hand and lots of love he has settled down and is devoted to all of us. He’s still loud but he more than makes up for it with his purring and cuddles and is perfectly healthy.
Mum and a neighbour made call after call looking for his owner nothing, nobody was looking for him, we came to the conclusion that his owner unable to cope simple dumped him on the roadside (near houses AND a main busy road) a case of ignorance we think rather than deliberate cruelty, how ever it‘s still cruel just not malicious.
People just think Oh I want a dog/cat and I think just go out and get one without looking into how to look after it or how much it would cost to keep, then panic when they can’t cope and just dump the animal and there is no need there are many charities out there who would help or re-home an animal.
You said your girl was ok and unharmed which is a blessing and from the state your husband found the place in it sounds like they couldn’t look after themselves let alone a puppy, she’s better off with you two and your border collie.

It's sad but true. One of my fabvorite dogs when i was a kid was a beagle /bassett mix that was left in a backyard when the people moved-I asked around and confirmed the dog was abandoned and no one wanted him and amazingly no one cared. I went by the house every day and gave him some food. We both got lucky because I was only 12 but my parent's were awesome-I took some food let him out took him home and told my folks he followed me. He was with our family many years until we had to move away and couldn't take-thankfully the neighbors we had did so he got to stay in his own area until he passed away.I say keep the puppy "someone" obviosly thinks you are the better parents for him-GOOD LUCK

Its terrible and whats worse imagine the poor puppy if the locks had been next week i'm sure it just makes you shudder,Even if you didn't keep it i'm sure you would find a kind home for it.
I got a pup last year and few months later got another one and it isn't as hard it might seem they will play together and can be easy to manage.
All the best ,its people like your husband for even bringing it home are the best.

I would have no problem shooting people like this stone dead, it would be doing the world a favour.
But at least this story will have a happy ending, you know already you will keep her, I dont think you could bear to move her on again!
as for someone coming back to get her, forget them, even if they could find you they would have to prove it was their dog, which would be hard, take her to the vet to check shes not dehydrated, get her wormed etc, and settle down to a long and happy life with your new baby!
Good luck!

Andrea, you are obviously a lover of animals. If you keep her she will have a very good loving home, but dont make a habit of it or you will be over run babe. You are so sweet to take that little dog in and I hope your husband agrees, he must or he wouldnt have brought her home. Hey both of you, you both have my best wishes with her and hope you are all happy together. For me you both get 11 out of 10 for that. Ye like sueie says you got to let us know babe.

If you think thats bad - take a look at this!

Our last pensioner died last year - and we said 'never again' - it hurts too much.
6 months later, and we've just picked up 2 Lab pups - the house feels complete again.
How people can abuse an animal that offers totaal devotion, and asks for nothing more than a bowl of food and a bit of fuss is totally beyond me.

I don't know how someone could just abandon a puppy. If they hadn't the means to care for it, why get one in the first place? They could have at least brought it to a shelter rather than leaving it behind. I'm just happy that it's been found and is now safe.
