@acowolcott: Rest in peace, beautiful girl. 🤍 We tried so hard to save you, but we found you just a little too late. This call still sits heavy on my heart every single day. We ended up taking in 14 dogs total. 13 made it. One didn’t. And that one weighs heavy. People don’t always see the reality behind backyard breeding. They see the beautiful puppies, the cute photos, the polished websites and social media pages. But those of us in animal control and rescue often see what’s happening behind the screen, and some of the conditions these animals are living in would absolutely break your heart. I have seen people with beautiful online businesses selling puppies while the dogs behind closed doors are suffering from neglect, overbreeding, inadequate care and deplorable conditions. So please, the next time you’re thinking about purchasing a puppy, think about where that puppy came from. Do your research. Look beyond the cute website and the perfect pictures. You can say you love animals, but our choices matter. When you put money into the hands of people who prioritize profit over the lives of these animals, you are supporting the cycle. These are living beings. They feel pain. They feel fear. And they deserve better. If this video makes you uncomfortable, good. It should. Because this is the reality behind the adorable little designer breed puppy someone decided they just had to buy. The next time you’re looking for a puppy, remember her. Remember the 1 we couldn’t save. And ask yourself: is bringing another puppy into this world worth it if another dog has to pay the price? So if you say you love animals, let your choices reflect that. Because you can’t say you love animals while supporting the very people who profit from their suffering. #fyp #animalcontrol #animalrescue #animalwelfare #byb
