Helaku

[iheartmydog]

Helaku isnt actualy my dog, he was a 1 year old german shepherd dog/wolf hybrid at the shelter i volunteer for...at first he seemed like a shy unfriendly dog, he would stay in the back of his kennel and slowly come up if you had treats, but when i took him out in the yard he became another dog, happy, loving and friendly he wasnt very hyper he just walked around the yard but he was more interested in people than the sights, first he rubbed on me like acat would then he tried to crawl up in my lap but he only got half way and just layed there with his tongue hanging out.We became buddys quickly after that he always came up in the kennels and greeted me with a wagging tail and kisses. He had been there for awhile but people passed him up for the wolf in him, he had none of the wolf personality he loved strangers, a random person could walk up and grab his ears and he would give kisses, he wasnt alert and he didnt have to keep moving, and he made friends with everyone. It makes me sad to think people would pass him up just because he was 1/4 wolf. He would of been an amazing companion but i could not have another dog were i lived.... he was at the shelter for a month before they decided to put him down. He was looked over by everyone else, noone would take the time to get to know him, they didnt promote him or anything. The thing that angers me is that they had many sick dogs, some termally ill, one was infected with incureable mange and he was in pain no matter what.... rather than putting an animal out of its misery to go run free over rainbow bridge they put down a healthy happy boy... a boy they just wouldnt give a chance to shine

Bye boy ill miss you, even though i didnt get to say bye, you'll still have a special place in my heart.

Ah, darlin', you're breaking my heart. I don't know how you, and folks like you, find the strength to volunteer your hearts the way you do, but the world is certainly a better place for having you in it.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I totally agree with Phyrie! Looking at his pictures I can't imagine someone not wanting him . He was beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Cel, I am so sorry

[princelover]

I am so sorry to hear that Helaku was euthanized. I know it must have been a heart breaking shock to you. It is so sad when a perfectly healthy dog has to be put down because of being unwanted. Our shelters and rescues and animal control centers are so overcrowded that many healthy animals are condemed to death for lack of a loving home.
I know that Helaku is in a better place now where he is wanted and happy to run with the others who have crossed the Bridge. Big hugs to you for caring so much.

I am so sorry! I can see how none of this makes sense to you, as it doesn't to me either. Keep your heart tender, and perhaps one day you'll be able to see to it that things like this don't happen anymore.

Phyrie was absolutely correct in saying that the world is a better place for having you in it.

I really thought that Helaku had a chance. I am so truly sorry.

Thank you for all the nice comments, it realy does help, i to cant see why people just wouldnt give him a chance...the people at the shelter didnt even take the time to get to know him... me and my friend were the only ones who ever took him out of the kennel.

I miss this cuddlebug so much! it broke my heart to not get to say goodbye! And at the shelter they dont give everybody the same chances to get a good home! some animals they let stay 1.5 months other they only let stay .5 months!=[

[iheartmydog]

resently they've been promoting the more unbehaved dogs...honestly out of all the dogs there he was the most well behaved and she fought and fought to get the rescue to take the other dog and after they agreed she got adopted anywase, she could of saved his like but no she had to help the one that had a much better chance of getting adopted and she was only there for a week, helaku was there for like 5
