Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Why can't we just get rid of people when we don't want them anymore like they do dogs. |

| Knowing nothing about Modesto and Bakersfield...
Couldn't these owners look into potentially surrenduring their Sibes to rescues? Seems like a much better option for the Sibe, and would get them on their way to responsible and caring owner. |

| Bakersfield is close enough that the local rescues cover that area - and unfortunately, everyone is full. Unless they can find a foster, that dog will end up in the pound. And it has a 50% chance of living at that point. People suck.
It's puppy season here in LA we're seeing a huge amount of dogs being turned in, especially seniors. I can only implore people to rescue, foster if they can, and donate to local rescues to help save them. Husky Camp, Alley's Rescued Angels, Coastal German Shepherd Rescue (Has a husky division), Husky Haven, etc. Alley is allow out of town adoptions, so please consider her if you're looking for a new family member. Following her facebook page is heartbreaking - I donate what I can and try to educate and promote rescue. That, and I flag BYBs on craigslist. |

Giving up on a Senior is criminal in my book. Nothing makes me more angrier than abandoning a dog when they need you the most! |

I'm working for a rescue here in Florida and today we had some assclown call the rescue because he's moving and can't take his 14 YEAR OLD Husky with him. Moving into an apartment that's not pet friendly. Way not cool! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

| I went to the shelter today to do an eval for the rescue and the 8 year old girl (turned out to be Akita and so adorable) was rooming with a 10 year old GSD girl that so desperately wanted to play with me and get out of there. The lady that dropped off the 8 year old then went to the kennels to go look at younger dogs. People suck. She's lucky I wasn't there when that happened. I always say something if I see someone surrendering a dog. If it makes them think twice, I've done by job. One guy ended up taking his white GSD back home and looking for lower kill shelters to surrender him to. |
