At Scooby not a day goes by that
nothing „strange“ happens. Let me tell you:
A couple of
days ago we received a phonecall from a lady telling us she wanted to bring in
her two cats and her dog, because her daughter had become allergic to them. All
of a sudden. We of course want to help
everybody within our capacity but right now the refuge is very full and
therefore we told her that we unfortunately could not help her. The strange thing is that a couple of days
later, a woman comes in with her daughter to bring a dog which supposedly they
had found in front of their house, completely clean and quiet, and when we
asked about him, the daughter let it slip that he was 8 years old. How she
could know when she had just found him, is a mystery. Oh well, for the benefit
of the dog we pretended to be dumb and let the dog stay. But the story doesn’t end there.. two minutes
later another woman comes in with two daughters and two cats who looked like
they had been wearing a collar, well fed, clean and completely relaxed, and she
said that (what a coincidence) they were found in front of their house. We
don’t want to be overly suspicious but after seeing all this it would be very
difficult not to think that these animals were from the same lady who has lied
to our face shamelessly just to get them into the refuge. These animals were not registered so we
cannot prove it, but we just feel this is the case. The refuges for animals
have been started to house abandoned animals, without owners, and if for one
reason or another you can no longer take care of your animal, it is your
responsibility and yours only, not the responsibility of the refuge.
Even so we
have so far always taken them up, but please, all the people that work here are
not stupid, although sometimes for the benefit of the animal we pretend to be.
The only
thing that remains is pray that there will be someone who will give these poor
creatures a second chance, after such a long time of loyalty the only thanks
they got is being dumped in our refuge. We worry about their health because
they are obviously scared and depressed. If you want to enlarge your family,
think of them, they need you!
