My dog is finally in the shelter

My dog was placed in the shelter today.
I am no longer going to allow myself to feel deep sadness for him.
I did my crying for him yesterday.
I have to remain strong.
I know now that he has a fighting chance.
I will stay in contact with the lovely woman in charge of adoptions - I trust her.

It’s okay to still feel sadness. It’s a sad thing, and you can’t expect yourself to get over it in one day. Nothing good ever came from pretending not to feel grief. I hope he finds a fantastic new home with a big yard and a family who will spoil him.

Yes of course I’m sad, I love my dog.
But I also know that he is much better off now.
Staying in this house with my father is not an option.

I’m confused: Your dog staying with your father, or you living with your father.

@Wave I have no words on this situation. I don’t know what to say… Its sad and I hear ya. I’m rooting for you my friend

I am currently living with my father and so was my dog.
When I was in the Hospital for 2 weeks my father abused my dog.
My dog was slow and seemed sedated, he wouldn’t bark and seemed confused.
I suspected that my father was drugging him.
I found an unfamiliar pill on the kitchen floor once.

I had to have my dog put down as my younger brother didn’t care for her properly!

She developed renal failure and by the point I came home and discovered it, it was too late.

One of my friends only used to take on rescue dogs, usually German shepherds with health problems. She lived on a farm and provided them the opportunity of life.

@Wave arent you moving out?

when i was 12 my dad let my dog die from a skin disease and didnt get him the shots he needed

Yes but the thing is that my brother is also abusive towards me.
He cyber bullied me sending me a photo of a pig and said that this was me.
Unfortunately he is a big shot in the group home charity and has s lot of pull there.
I have a strong feeling that he is going to try to destroy me while I am a member.

siblings can be buttheads to one another @Wave
i dont know the depths of the bullying but
my brother and i just became civil in our 40s

Sorry youre getting a hard time

This guy must really be a bad apple abusing animals and such. I feel for you man and hope the group home works out for the best. Look at the bright side, at least you’ll be out of that negative environment with your father making things tough for you. And schizophrenics understand each other so you might make a couple of good friends.
