You're right Dan, why would anyone accept a dog they can't take care of is beyond me!!!! Every dog should go for walks

sunneyone2, knowing that there are countless numbers of homeless pets devastates me too, especially since many had to endure terrible lives before the shelter. As for my dog, he's always inside and goes for 3 leashed walks a day, so just why should he be fixed? I just spent $2500 to repair his torn ACL, believe me I could afford fixing him if we chose.

Hey Dan, the SPCA has a spay and neuter clinic that charges fees on a sliding scale if you need help with that. I'm joking, but I'm not... Seriously, though, pet guardians need to be responsible. This woman was completely irresponsible. I hope the dog, and all of the dogs and cats in our shelters, find loving homes.

I'm the owner of an unfixed male dog but this woman and other bad owners are the real reason for the animal shelter overpopulation, not me.

Always shocks me that people can sit in their comfortable house eating a sandwich with no remorse while a living being suffers on their property.hateful!

I bet that same neighborhood has more dogs chained to trees in the backyard, why anyone insists on having a dog just to neglect it for life is a horrible mystery.

So glad this story had a happy ending, and what a cute dog! That woman wasn't punished enough! I don't understand people like her.

WOW they really taught her a lesson, now didn't they? Gesh! I'm happy to hear that Remy is doing great, but the former owner/abuser/neglector should have had a heavier punishment that what was handed down.

LOL @ levit77....should also be barred from having kids!! Well, if she's gonna treat them the same way she did this cutie patootie, then absolutely!!

Kudos to the neighbor who reported it! People who do things like this should have the same treatment. Maybe that would turn them around and make them think twice before doing things like this again. She should also be barred from having kids!
