I will share with you a story to close the night.A post went up on our local Facebook page looking for help for a Bordeaux in a neighborhood on the other side of town from us. Photos were shared of a scared girl sitting at a front door.I messaged the poster asking for an address. She told me the home was empty; the people had moved away about a month ago. She said the dog desperately wanted inside the house, was afraid, and growled at people approaching.I told her I would send Travis to get her.It took him about 20 minutes, sitting on his butt with his back to her, some smoked turkey, and some string cheese, you can watch him work as much as possible with him alone, filming things himself. Thats the way he wants it, no distraction, no disruptions, however there were plenty, he said the trash truck came by, a fire truck went by, some neighbors wanting to help, the last thing he wants is to spook her and have her bolt out into the neighborhood and busy street. Finally she was secured and on her way to the sanctuary. She had a floral collar on and a tag that said she was chipped, so we thought, well, maybe she had gotten lost.It didn’t take long, with a little detective work, to find the truth.It turns out the person who owned her lived at the address where the dog was scratching at the door, and she also owned three other dogs that she had posted on this same community page looking for homes for. Not free—a “rehoming fee” of $600 for each of them. In other words, she was selling her dogs.There were lots of comments from people wanting the Schnauzer pup, the Frenchie, and the Corso. Not one comment wanting the Bordeaux.All of them were unspayed, all of them at risk of falling into unscrupulous hands, and clearly not much thought had been given to that.This person had also posted on this same page a year ago that she was looking to get a French Bulldog. I’m assuming she did, and now she was selling her.Several people commented, telling her to contact us. We are in the same town, but clearly surrendering wasn’t the plan. $600 was the plan.So what happened from there?Did she find a place for her, and did she get away and run home? Was she left behind, crying at the door, trying to go home?We’ll never know.Neighbors said they had seen her out there for at least a week—skinny, scared, and desperate to get back inside her home.I could sit here and say people should do better for their dogs, but I would be wasting my breath. It’s clear that what I would do, what you would do, and what this person did are very different things.And so, here is a young Bordeaux, discarded because of bad choices—or simply discarded by her owner as they drove away. Neither one is acceptable to me.If this person sees this, don’t bother reaching out. We don’t care what your story is. She belongs to us.She will be spayed. She will find a new home with people who are just as disgusted by her story as we are, and they will cherish her as she always should have been.Welcome to Dog Ranch Rescue, Constance.Goodnight, everyone.
