(9,291 posts)45. reminds me of how we got our chihuahua
He was running around the neighborhood for a few days and we knew he was dumped. So I put out a trap we had with some dog food and got him that night. He screamed and was so scared but we couldn't catch him any other way. We took him out of the trap and put him in a kennel and gave him time to adjust. A few hours later he came out , all wagging tail and licking us.
It ended up that he has congestive heart failure and we give him 5 medications a day. He's still with us and his name is Rocky because of his start with us. He has lived with us for over 3 years now and we're happy to have him in our fluffy family.

Your post made me cry. Imagine the terror they feel when they are abandoned or abused.
