This is Hansel, he made the front page back in August because how how shitty his owners were. My rescue group brought him in and we just got an update from his new owners
This is Hansel now. He's a happy, trouble making boy.

What a beautiful dog! I hope those who abused him have been doubly abused and barred from ever owning another pet.

Went from Hansel to Handsome!

That Hansel. He's SO HOT right now
RexSilverback
Hansel! He's so hot right now. If I were to boop his nose I would burn my finger.
mizadventures
People who hurt animals should have the same done to them. See how THEY like it!
Brettlybrau
It's that damn Hansel, he's so hot right now.
SourmanTheWise
I don't think people with documented sadistic behaviour should be allowed pets or children
itzujones1
Omg he is beautiful and looks so happy

That Hansel is so hot right now.

I just don’t know how someone could do that

I'm not gonna cry...yes i am.
h2oeh
Some people shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air as the rest of us...very cool end to the story!
h2oeh
There is simply no excuse for this behavior. Abuse animals and you'll probably abuse people too. Scum should not be tolerated. http://i.imgu

I couldn't do what you do, so thanks for doing it. I work with abused kids and that's bad enough.
undernourishedandovercaffeinated
I couldn't do what you do either. Thank you
KyleBadge
We all just have our callings. Lord knows it ain't for the money!!
undernourishedandovercaffeinated
Definitely not.

LayDeDeadpoolHair
He's just really happy
MyDownstairsMixup
I believe stress or fear can cause that reaction

Yep even pain and strain too

I'd have a raging boner too if I knew my life was about to get immensely better.

the rest of him has shrunk so much there isn't room internally for his huge bitch-banger.

Focused, or noticed a sizable difference in overall color?

A saw a video of a Chinese policeman, punching a golden retriever to death. According to the video it took hours to die.I wanted to kill him
Madv1lla1n
I said the same thing to my missus after giving our goodest boy some luvs; she said it takes a special kind of fucked to even, I agree
imgurianitarian
Theres a special place in hell for these people. Even Satan loves dogs, but is sad all dogs go to heaven so he’s even harsher on dog abusers
TheRealCaveman
Ok. I get this. I really do. But don't humans come first? Like...if there are limited resources to help, shouldn't we focus on people?
imgurianitarian
There’s a difference between abusing a dog and not helping a dog. The argument is people shouldn’t abuse. Period.
Mentok
We should help everyone. We could do it, too, but we're busy fighting 3 wars.
TheRealCaveman
I see way more posts on here about abused animals vs abused human beings (there are lots)... Seems imbalanced.
Anuvin
The difference is that humans are shit and dogs are exclusively loyal to humans, regardless of how shitty we are.
TheRealCaveman
Dogs aren't loyal...they're domesticated and trained to need us... Sentience is infinitely more valuable and worth saving.
Anuvin
Dogs are indeed loyal. All life is worth saving, but entities without the ability to communicate are the most vulnerable.
Madv1lla1n
Whilst a valid point for discussion, this comment has fuck all relevance to this post about the wilful neglect and abuse of animals
TheRealCaveman
Thank You for Your Balanced and objective feedback! It's great to see people think about the bigger picture and not just one moment in time.
SisterSinister
Absolutely not. They can help themselves.
atcggcta
Well duh.... nobody ever argues the opposite of that
Neonbaron
If I had to pick a human or a dog without knowing either I would be hard pressed to choose because man is a fickle deceptive thing
TheRealCaveman
That's...horrible.
imgurianitarian
Agreed. Dogs are the best. In a room of people I head straight for the dog. Every time.
theelvesoflothlorien
Is it me or do his eyes still look kinda sad? I know dogs let go of stuff & he's not carrying the abuse forward. It's probably just me.
undernourishedandovercaffeinated
After knowing him all these months, I'm pretty sure he's just plotting his next destructive act ha
mastikator
They remember it and it shapes who they are. Like with people
theelvesoflothlorien
I do not believe they have the capability to remember as we do. They may develop bad habits which seem to stem from memories, but if you can
theelvesoflothlorien
break the pattern and reinforce the right behavior, they can almost always improve in ways that might be quite dramatic. We sometimes don't
theelvesoflothlorien
help them by always treating them as what they were, an abused dog. We have to teach them new habits with positive reinforcement. Watch this
theelvesoflothlorien
video and see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI13v9JgJu0
mastikator
Dogs remember people and events and can learn to associate it with words. Some dogs get excited when you say "go for a walk" for example
theelvesoflothlorien
I didn't say they have NO memory, just that it's not like ours. Many experts say it is our tone of voice that they read and respond to.
mulligylan
My boi has sad eyes and he was pretty fucked up when I got him. They 'member the bad times
theelvesoflothlorien
I don't think they really do. They aren't goldfish, but they aren't like us either.
mulligylan
My buddy took a year to really become a dog again and he is still skittish. I think he does carry it with him.
theelvesoflothlorien
Many trainers say that WE tend to carry the anxiety and the dog responds to our concern. If you treat him like he has that history, he may
theelvesoflothlorien
well continue to act that out. Treat him as you would any other dog without the history and he will likely surprise you with his response.
Kerrisimo
It amazes me the transformation they go through in body and spirit when they know they are loved. I fostered 19 dogs. 2 were in bad shape.
runswithchickens
I can't imagine how terrible they feel when they look that bad.
tmt8160
God bless you, seriously!
42peanuts
How do you foster 19 dogs and don't just end up with 19 dogs?! I don't think I could let any go!
Kerrisimo
My first foster lived with me 9 years. They asked me to adopt him after a year because of his health issues. He was my best buddy! Miss him
Donotmakemeballthis
That’s what they call a “foster fail” but I think it depends on how ya look at it. Also once you keep them the vets no longer will pay
Kerrisimo
I let them go because another dog needs to come out of a kill shelter. Many live better lives than I could give. They are rich dogs now hehe
lobstasalad9095
I wonder this constantly, I work with someone who fosters, usually 3 dogs at a time. If I could have pets, I would have 5 already.
DerpeDiem
I fostered 13. I always felt good and was very happy when one of my good boys / girls got a new loving home. That's all I asked for.
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
Same...I fostered about 14 and loved placing them in new happy homes!
DigYourselfBaby
You just do what has to be done. We need more people to foster!
Jkally
I fostered one cat... I now have 2 cats.
LongDickMcgee
How long do you typically foster a dog for and are there vet bills?
ShyneeNikul
It really depends on the rescue. One i fostered for was only 2 weeks at a time, the other was until the dog was adopted. You shouldnt 1/2
ShyneeNikul
be out of pocket for vet bills, the rescue should pay those.
Kerrisimo
The rescue I'm with pays vet & grooming. Depends on how long they need. My longest was 6 months but he was a mess. Skinny & very little hair
rottenmilkshakesbringzombieboystotheyard
Would you make a post on fostering dogs and what's required/what you go through? Avid dog lover, always wanted to foster but no idea how to.
Kerrisimo
Yes
theelvesoflothlorien
Go to a shelter near your home & ask how to foster.
Kerrisimo
He had been crated outside. Another had little hair on her back but had mats around her paws that forced nails to grow around almost into
Kerrisimo
her paws. One side of her mouth was matted shut. The shortest was 1 week. Usually 1-2 months.
imgurianitarian
I salute you. Doing great work! Selfless act.
