I am so thankful that Matttie is home. My ...Tracy-<br />I am so thankful that Matttie is home. My family has grown through the years with both canines and felines. Most of our dogs and cats have lived at least 14 years. All of them have been rescue animals. We now have two dogs and three cats. One came from the local Animal Shelter. I am outraged by the treatment you and Mattie got at your shelter. There should be reprimands over such treatment. Shelters are overcrowded and poorly funded. Shelters are for 'stray' animals. It is understood that a new adoption should be neutered or spayed. You provided records that Mattie had a regular vet. How can shelters expect to receive donations when they use such poor judgement? I agree that your vet and others in the community should let this shelter know that you aren't going to just take this poor and unsound treatment. This would be a good story for a local 'Live on Your Side' type of television show. I would contact the board members of the shelter, your mayor, city coucil, etc. Our local animal shelter has had some problems including the director being convicted of embezzelement. The public should keep and eye on their local shelter. My family donates food and supplies at our shelter. Occasionally I walk through and observe the conditions. If I am not happy, I make my thoughts and opinions known to those who can step in and correct conditions. Our animals depend on us to improve their lives. We must speak up for them. Keep loving Mattie. She sounds like a lucky 'girl'. Please speak up for Mattie! It will not only help her but others in the future.<br /><br />Pam<br />Sylacauga, ALAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-33437161332159247172012-05-21T08:59:02.516-04:002012-05-21T08:59:02.516-04:00Tracy that's wonderful to hear. Though it'...Tracy that's wonderful to hear. Though it's sad she was and still is in pin. I think the shelter is so use to spaying and putting them to sleep that they never have time to see the good side of a situation nor feel they can take the time to. I think I would give her a bath anyways for the simple fact of infection if I didn't do so. When she's feeling better you should pampering her with a grooming day with a complete do over, poor thing. I think I would atleast take comfort in knowing that if she passes away now, that it's at the home with the ones she loves and even she will know that and be more at ease. There's power in prayer, that's for sure.Mamawj's Moment Awayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071554932768632485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-74935292111268479212012-05-21T03:13:28.069-04:002012-05-21T03:13:28.069-04:00Oh no :( I'm so sorry for Mattie!

Filing a complaint sounds good to me! Talk to your vet and see if there's a suggestion there as what can be done. Poor Mattie. Thank God she home where she will be loved and taken care of. Too crazy not to bathe her...Sometimes I wonder about some people who are to be so concerned about animals.<br />Sending healing hugs and lots more prayers xoxoxoxox debdebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610337579031329980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-24024799898039165292012-05-20T23:43:53.059-04:002012-05-20T23:43:53.059-04:00Oh Tracy,

I would think the vet would have final say on surgery or not. I am so happy that she is safe at home now & you will give her comfort & love to heal.<br />Blessings & Hugs,<br />CindyBlessings from Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239396555037363434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-78281730107289786672012-05-20T15:02:28.110-04:002012-05-20T15:02:28.110-04:00I'm so happy you have here back, but sick abo...I'm so happy you have here back, but sick about the treatment at the shelter! did they take care of the fleas or clean her up at all before doing surgery, wouldn't the filth make poor Mattie at greater risk for any infections? Now for the last big question, did they had you a Bill? I guess we should only be looking to getting Mattie back to a playful stage... Keep loving on her & enjoy every moment~ xox<br />CherylCheryl ~ ZanyMaydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466781381058003780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-87307010984352656472012-05-20T14:18:23.636-04:002012-05-20T14:18:23.636-04:00Praise God!!

I'm not one to file complaints on a whim, but have you considered filing one against them? They should absolutely NOT have that much authority. Sounds like it's a money-making scam for them. I bet your vet would even file a complaint along with you...<br />Anyway, what's most important is that she's home; bak in your loving arms!<br /><br />Love, hugs & blessings!SagebrushFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013987477551669408noreply@blogger.com
