It happens so incredibly often. I was a Park Ranger in Baltimore City for a period of time, and I canāt tell you how many dogs we would come across. To the point where I had our animal control dudes on speed dial, we even started patrolling together occasionally because weād find dogs so often, unfortunately both dead and alive.
There was one really interesting time though. There is a park in Baltimore that has been a known body dumping ground for decades, mostly back in the 80s/90s, less so now but it still happens regularly enough. But itās a gorgeous park with hundreds of years of rich history, and itās out biggest āforested/greenā space in the city limits.
We found some pointer running around the parking lot when we were locking gates around town, it was right after a gnarly thunderstorm. Dog hopped right up into the truck. Brought him home, cleaned him up, and slept on the back porch with him until Animal Control opened up in the AM. They are 24hr but no one opened the doors when we tried dropping him off around 11pm.
When we brought the dog in the next day, it turns out it was one of a litter of several that have been slowly turning up at the shelter over the last 6 months. The mom was there too, her name was Moonpearle and we had found one of āMoonpearles Babies.ā It was a whole thing. We had named the dog Franklin because we found him off Franklintown Rd, but the shelter changed it to something normie and dumb.
We would have taken Franklin in, but we had 2 dogs and 2 cats of our own already and were/are struggling to survive financially.
We donāt deserve dogs.

The difference between non profit and municipal shelters is astounding, but your shelter is in the minority of shelters that aren't a death sentence.
I've worked in shelters and I run a TNR org in Texas.

It is important to note that "kill shelters" are contractually obligated to accept every animal that is brought to them. Without these shelters, animals wouldn't have any place to go, which is much worse. By supporting these shelters, they can be non-kill too!

Thank you. I wish people wouldn't be so harsh on them. I totally understand why people get upset with them, but in many cases they don't have a choice. They're caught in an impossible position. Usually these are municipal locations who have to keep space open to have somewhere to hold stray and found animals.
If you want to help, volunteer, foster, adopt, donate. And please for the love of god get your pets spayed and neutered!! There's lots of nonprofits and even rescues who will help fund neutering/spaying if you have trouble paying for it.
If you need to surrender an animal, foster based rescues are best and should be top priority. It may take them some time to be able to accommodate but they'll give your animal the best chance at finding a new home and giving it the best care in the meantime.

I don't even pay attention to the dog because it's the central prop in these shitty videos, it's everything else that's noticeable - the tarp is undamaged and insanely small, aka the cheapest one they could buy, and if someone was abandoning their dog they wouldn't leave a tarp; the bed and blanket was completely clean and undamaged as well, and same principal applies to them as to the tarp. Animals get abandoned all the time, and not one of them would get left with 50$+ dollars of comfort items with it.

Ya know what? Imma rub against the grain and call BS on this post.
They claim it was abandonded at the park. Like, did they watch the owner dump it there? That tarp, pillow, blanket, and water bowl are completely devoid of any dust, dirt, or debris, despite being placed under a bush on a patch of dirt.
Puppy is strangely dirty as if it was dusted up that way. No caked mud, no matted fur, no thistles or bugs, just a lightly dirty dog.
It also shows no signs of stress or weariness, panting as dogs do once picked up. Of course, so dogs are just like that even when abused, so that's the least suspicious part I suppose.
Also, no idea where the walking shot is taken. She's walking away from the corner of a chainlink fence and a tree. Did the puppy run there? It certainly doesn't move an inch of its own volition anywhere else in the video.
She allegedly called Pippy's Pal Rescue, but then brought the unknown-if-diseased-or-bug-infested dog into their house and gave it a bath and... Jammies? No check for shots or tags or anything? Alrighty.
I looked up Pippy's Pal Rescue. It has the most basic "Graffic Dezine" website, with a lot of photos of animals that all seem professionally and candidly taken. No standard snapshots of pets taken on phones, just all high quality images of animals all taken in different locations. No congruence between the image locations.
Well, it is an animal care business in Texas, so lets just go google search their location aaand... Oh hey, they don't seem to exist in any specific location, despite the majority of operations allegedly being run by one woman.
Finally, the only other media of this Rescue group is an abandonded YouTube channel with 3 videos and 28 shorts of roughly 11 different dogs and no other animals.
Yeah, this is a lame add for some scam pet rescue.

I always want to believe in the good of people, and while I agree that this is absolutely horrible that he was abandoned I'm trying to see the "humanity" here as well.
I've seen and heard too many stories of animals abandoned in far more callous ways like being thrown out of vehicles or in trash cans... So when I look at this, I see a dog that had basic care items, left in a public place in hopes that he would be found by someone who could properly care for him.
It feels like a move of desperation rather than intentional cruelty... I imagine they saw the state the dog was in and realized that they couldn't do that to this animal anymore and made the choice to give it a better chance with someone else, without the shame of bringing it to a shelter and risk being noticed. Is it right? No not at all, I can't imagine doing that to an animal who only understands that their family is gone š literally choking up writing this, but seeing him with the bed and bowl with him, just makes me want to believe that. Call me naive, I guess...

I have this nagging feeling that this is their personal dog that they set this up with and then just cleaned and clothed.

The shot at 20 seconds of them taking the dog out of the park is a different tree with a fence behind it in some ones backyard, its staged

Yea this is way staged. That dog was perfectly healthy, dirtyed up, and plopped on a pillow by a tree with a tarp as flooring? If youāre dumping a dog, you dont bother setting up a homeless shelter for it.

The dogs been recently groomed so it being dirty like that doesn't make sense, like that's a recent puppy-cut when they 'found' it

Poor little guy. It's awful how people can just abandon their pets. I mean even if youve fallen on hard times you can surrender the pet to animal services and they will do their best to find them a home.
Just comes down to laziness and callousness. Just shameful.
Luckily this guy had a happy ending and no doubt an excellent life ahead. Silver lining.

43k people now. God, redditors are so gullible. I get if you've never had a pet before how this might look convincing, but there are dog owners who are self-reportedly sobbing to this. They don't notice the hair hasn't matted despite being so dirty, how calm the dog is, having kibble and a suit that fit the dog perfectly... the ass shot?!
Like, damn. I have a shitzu, and that dog's hair will get bad after a few days of not grooming him. This looks like if my dog got rubbed with dirt and left out for a couple hours, not like an actual dog that has been abandoned.

Im not a fan of dogs at all, had bad experiences with them as a child and it's stuck with me nearly 15 years later still. I panic if a dog comes near me. But I swear to god people who ever think about doing this to an innocent animal, one that trusts you with its life and will protect you with its own, deserve nothing but pure fucking agony for the rest of their life.
Didn't expect to cry at 2:20am from a puppy video, all animals are precious man. Treat them with respect

Just happened to have a dog onesie, eh?
One that you managed to slip onto a dog, that is unfamiliar with you.
And who doesnāt seem to mind strangers picking him up and letās you bathe him with no trouble.
Yeah.
Seems totally real and not like they dirtied their own dog for internet points.

Why is the dog freshly groomed? Literally just had been to the salon, no one noticed how the fur is all uniform and poofy??? These people rolled their dog around in the dirt to make a feels good story for clicks.

u/PostingImpulsively 17h ago
Yep as a shih tzu owner of almost 15 years this dog had a fresh manicure, like yesterday or the day before that fresh.

Very much staged. If anyone dumped a puppy, why would they bother to give him water and a bed? Unless the people recording were the ones to put all that there and start recording. Puppies arenāt automatically accustomed to humans?? Unless they already knew who they were and have no reason to run away

Who did such a thing they could have simply taken it to an animal shelter

u/WhataGinger1 22h ago
My area requires a fee to relinquish pets. So, people will abandon rather than pay the fee.

u/Nirevix 22h ago
Damn it should be free tbh more people will give pets to them rather than abandon them under he rain or hot sunā¦ plus these shelters are funded by charities and other sources why are they charging a fee

u/WhataGinger1 22h ago
Agreed, but then the shelters get too many at the same time or they think they euthanize when there is no space. It's shitty all around.

I brought a bag of kittens I found on the side of the road to my local shelter. They said they'd only take them once and I was now blacklisted from adopting, or dropping any other animals off. Also said they called all the shelters in neighboring towns to let them know not to take anything from me. Kept threatening me to make me just take all these kittens or something even though my roommates dog was not safe around cats. I imagine if I had some issue come up and couldn't take care of my dogs, they wouldn't take them. Thankfully, they are good dogs so any of my friends would.

Death to people who abandon pets. You literally can surrender them to a shelter.

I hate when people film these rescues. Iāve saved a lot of animals, and the last thing running through my mind is to film them. At least wait til theyāre safe.
