This awesome dude is threatening to have his dog put down if nobody adopts him. Ugh at least take him to the shelter and give him a chance. Anyways this is Marietta, GA (cobb county). Should anyone be looking for a new pet, contact this guy via Facebook. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3386930647988089&id=100000135603917

christ, people put more thought into which phone they want than they do getting a pet or having a kid.
CoraciasLilac
So the first sentence he says the dog will be going to a shelter, then threatens to have the dog put down?

sounds like he never should’ve had a dog in the first place
WeAreJustDustInTheWind
I hope the dude is hit by a car after he leaves the pound also if he isn't I hope they never ever get another pet
NKato
@OP, link's dead now. Apparently he realized that he just showed his class-A douchiness to the world.
EDDDDDDD
...and the FB post is down.
DocTanner
I don't know a single vet that would put down a healthy dog. 100%, the dude is trying to sell the dog. Any shelter would easily rehome him.
ImHonestonhowIseethings
wait he is fucking stupid saying he is going to x shelter first then threatens to put the dog down that man is fucked in the head.
Heavenissize17socks
There's not a vet on this planet who would put that dog down just because the owner doesn't want him.
abbazabba2366
I was thinking the same thing. Then I remembered that to some people, "putting a dog down" is just shooting them. :(
abbazabba2366
I really hope this isn't the case.
AllAboutThatD
Wtf..
HerNameIsPeanut
Someone should put him down! If you don't want a pet don't get one. Save the animal the heartache of it all! Tl:dr Shit human being shit!
ThisSiteUsedtobeCool
He contradicts himself in the same post. "Will be going to shelter," then, "will have to put him down." What a manipulative piece of shit.
megsovereasy
Serious question, can someone just take a dog to a vet and say “hey I don’t want this dog anymore so please kill it”?
stinkysteve
Yes, it’s fucking terrible
BarrackHusseinIslamabama
He spells goodbye "good buy" the dog never stood a chance bro
Darla626
The director of Cobb County Rescue contracted the douche directly telling him not to euthanize and that they would happily take the pup

Going through the FB comments, this guy is a fucking piece of shit

Holy shit, I went to high school with this guy. He was a douche nozzle back then as well and I hadn’t thought of him since.

People have this disconnect with c/d's. It lives it live, thinks, breathe, feels. Ask a neighbour or family.

PajamaStripes
Fuck, I didn't even notice his name at first, and was like "Me?!".
Sylviastout
Why put him down though?
13Alpha
What's it cost to drop off at a shelter? $50? There have been times in my life when if I $5, I would have spent it on gas or food.
avavilina
Putting a dog down isn't free either. If he can afford to put him down, he can afford to surrender him.
13Alpha
Depends on if he lives in the country. Not defending. Just stating.
ConfederacyOfDunces
Extreme callous indifference and laziness can make people absolute monsters.
endsat35
Sounds like he wants to sell the dog, rather than give him away.
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
Georgia shelters are chronically over capacity. It is very likely this guy really cannot find anywhere to take this dog.
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
It is also a breed that are on a lot of HOA's/Apartment complex's banned list making shelters even less likely to take it.
IrisTheVirus
From what I heard on the local news, pet adoptions are up. That post is all kinds of shady.
Bandizzle
This sounds like a scam where several kind hearted people pay and the dog doesn't exist. Seen it here before
C141Clay
The scam is often run by the dogs themselves, they take the money and buy bacon. (I wanted the story to be funnier & have a good ending.)
thelonepig
Maybe it's a bitey dog? If he keeps posting and no one's sharing maybe they know the rest of the story?
Nickelbackfat
He sounds like a good buy
endsat35
I agree, but if the owner is trying grab as much money as possible, it’s gonna be hard to save the pup
Smoothtwice
It was a pun on a typo in the original post.

A friendly husky at a shelter will get adopted quickly. At minimum the shelter will find a husky rescue to take him
Vengeraxe
What if its not that friendly? or hes a ass who bought a high energy dog in a 800 sq ft apt. People do stupid shit like that.
KiwiGameDev
Adopted possibly but kept? They have a pretty high return rate. Pretty sure it’s the same in the states
GeauxTime504
Why the high return rate? We love our husky! 4 years and she’s just like one of the family. I could never imagine giving up the dog.
KiwiGameDev
https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/www.wideopenpets.com/husky-abandonment-is-turning-into-a-serious-problem/amp/ We love ours too
GeauxTime504
People ought to check their benefits at work. I have pet insurance for her. Also, their personalities are a problem? Not for us it isn’t.
GeauxTime504
She’s a sass-mouth and we love her sass-mouth
mickison
best route IMO would be a husky rescue organization. Many have thorough adoption screeners to make sure the home is right for the pup.
Kunitsu
true, but some shelters will go the extra mile for certain breeds they know are often returned because of their personality traits. one of
Kunitsu
the shelters my mom got her red heeler from, grilled us for HOURS spread out over a week wanting to know if we knew about the beed, what

they were bred for, their energy levels, their stubbornness, if we've had working dogs in our family in the past, what breeds, how did we
cantbelievethisisstillavailable
So many people are fostering and adopting now that shelters near us are taking waiting lists.
SoupFace
I literally adopted a cat in Marietta on Tuesday at a shelter. They were accepting appointments and were booked all day. I doubt he can’t
thelonepig
I just looked up the shelter nearly all the dogs are pit bull mixes. It's pretty full.
checkcheckheyhey1212
Unfortunately a lot will be neglected when work and school resume, bad choice for many, short sightedness
surelyoneoftheseusernamesisavailable
Fostering and adoption are different things. Lots of animals were fostered, and a whole lot of them will be adopted after this!
saucymeatball
Or-they currently have the time to train a new pet and are taking advantage of that. I work full time, and manage to give my dog a good life
StarvedDemon
Some people will keep the pets, unfortunately it's likely a lot will be returned. Same as after Christmas. Shelter I volunteered at called 1
saucymeatball
If that’s the case, as long as adequate care was provided-I’d consider that a successful foster.
StarvedDemon
Yes, if it was set up as a foster in the first place it would be ideal. Staff could plan for it. Unfortunately it's usually pets purchased 1

Yes please keep us updated. I would consider adopting this dog but I live in Canada.
CountingStars0065
He took the post down it appears. Link worked earlier.
Littlefootsophie
Holy shit I’m friends with this dude (on fb). I was appalled when I saw his post. He’s always overdramatic like this.
brattius
Tell that fucker to stop using dogs in this manner. He is a dick
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Tell that fucker people want the dog
Littlefootsophie
No one was gonna let anything happen to the dog. Everyone was giving him hell. I would have even taken him in before it got any further.
Littlefootsophie
Update! He just posted he found a family who wants to adopt Apollo.
Littlefootsophie
Edit.. found a shelter* that will take him
Icyfirebolt
He should be placed on a ban list that he can't adopt any pets and should he take them to the vet they make him surrender any pets he has
ChickenChickenBurningBright
Ah, the Gatekeepers arrive at last.
strangelyaddicting
You have no idea for sure if he's a bad person or not. Yet you're willing to impose punishment on him?
brattius
You need to look at his pics on fb. This is obviously not his first time doing this, seems like easily one a year. Yes. He is a bad person
GeauxTime504
Because the Facebook user looks like an entitled douche. There, I said it.
OverlyOpinionated
If you give up your dog, you're probably a bad person. If you kill your dog when it's not terminal, you're definitely a bad person.
freckledkink
There are several legit reasons a person would give up a dog. Failing health, no money to properly care for it, forced to live somewhere
freckledkink
That won't accept pets (like, you have to move for whatever reason and ate unable to find a place on short notice that takes pets), moving
freckledkink
Overseas, have a kid who is allergic, etc. But putting it down is wrong.
Malzerhooni
I think there’s acceptable situations to give up a pet, like if you legit can’t afford them and give them the life they need and deserve
avavilina
I mean, he's threatening to put a dog down rather than looking into ways to help get it adopted, so....
strangelyaddicting
Because he knows the dog will just end up sitting in a shelter and possibly NEVER get adopted? What's more humane? You're STILL assuming.
Rosie2003
PJ is that you?
lysani
Husky is a breed that is generally very wanted, so they don't stay in shelters very long. The guy is just trying to scam for money.
avavilina
Its obvious this guy is trying to make money off selling the dog or scam people. Also, living in a shelter is better than being dead.
Lots43
Shelter is more humane
brunion
I volunteered in shelters for years. A husky will be adopted next day, even now.
