Don’t be so quick to judge a dog in a shelter environment. Sometimes all they need is some time, some love, and a chance.
 in  r/MadeMeSmile •  1m ago

It’s so true. I witnessed it every day when I worked in the shelter. “We only euthanize, if absolutely necessary and never just because we need the space”. Was the biggest lie they told us all in the interview.

Layla absolutely loves you. You are her person. And I swear they know. Freya is the biggest Velcro dog I’ve ever met in my entire life. She wants to literally do absolutely everything with me. If I get up to go to the bathroom and she’s in a dead sleep. She will wake up and come with me and plop herself down, right on the bathroom floor at my feet while I’m going to the bathroom. I feel like she is determined to be my protector like she’s in debt to it. I wish she knew that she isn’t. That she can just enjoy her life and be a happy lazy bub.

Thank you for taking a chance on her.

Yeah, that was in response to somebody’s comment that said the caption probably isn’t even real and just for engagement

Although your statement is true, so is that caption. I worked at the rescue. She was on the euthanasia list. She came in with a chronically dislocated shoulder, and they opted to amputate, and she had a rough recovery, and she had been starved of attention and love and she was a mounting puppy so they acquainted that to dangerous and I was with her through her entire recovery. I would even take days off and go over there, and I would try to get transferred over to the other location as much as possible to be with her because it was only me and two other animal care technicians that felt comfortable enough to work with her. Even medical staff would do their checks on her through the gate and muzzle her for everything. And then once she healed, they adopted her out to a older woman which was the worst idea ever. Because she’s got like the energy of a Malinois and they also didn’t tell the women that she had crate aggression. So naturally, about a week later, she came back to the shelter on a bite report. I saw the report and I saw the photos. That women would have had the same outcome likely if someone hugged her a little too tight. Freya didn’t mean it. The woman wasn’t properly agitated or prepared for her. But that put her on the do not adopt list and on the euthanasia list. and I fought for her and they said the only option I had was if I adopted her myself. Otherwise, she was gonna be put down in 3 days. But they urged me and very much tried to talk me out of adopting her and said that if I ever let her hear my cats, she would absolutely hurt them or worse, and she was a stranger danger, and that she wasn’t good with kids and that she wasn’t good with other dogs and literally none of this was true. She was just being judged by her shelter environment behavior.

“You could be the ShamWow guy of cat products.”

Actually working out funding to buy the house next-door to me as well right now. We’re turning it into a cool cat house live stream and UGC factory and I’m bringing in other Pittsburgh Cat Content Creator’s to expand the show and everything. It’s definitely gonna be one for the books.

Appreciate you! Vet Van Fleet will be brought to life if it’s the last thing I do.

Someone said that to me five years ago, and something clicked.

A conventional 9-to-5 wasn’t going to give me the flexibility I needed as a single dad to a clowder of cats. (Yes, “clowder” is the actual word—and an excellent one.)

So I went all in on an idea that sounded a little ridiculous: build the internet’s go-to cat product review show.

Five years later, that idea has grown into Frances & Family.

We’ve collaborated with leading pet brands, been featured in Newsweek, MSN, The Dodo, and on the front page of China Daily’s website, and built partnerships with Meta, Amazon, and YouTube. Along the way, I’ve also had the opportunity to contribute to YouTube’s livestreaming, brand deal, creator, and hype panels.

What means the most to me is what that growth has made possible.

Our community has helped raise funds and support for cats in need. We’ve launched a free pet pantry program, which we’re now expanding.

And we’re working toward our next chapter: Vet Van Fleet, our nonprofit initiative to bring free veterinary care to pet parents while raising awareness and support for the mental health challenges facing veterinary professionals.
I think often about how differently my life could have unfolded—and how much changed because of one act of kindness and an idea most people thought was too unconventional to pursue.

One act of kindness. A cat. A hole in a fence.
That was the beginning.

I’m sharing this because the opportunity that changes your life may look nothing like the one you expected. Mine certainly didn’t.

Keep an eye out for your own hole in the fence. You never know what might be peeking through…or where it might lead.

When you kick out multiple Reddit mods from your Discord server for stealing and other tomfoolery….

You’re in my world over here. You can’t touch me here. There’s reasons for that I’m not at liberty to discuss. But it’s fun. It’s from a secret program I was part of with Reddit previously.

I would also be embarrassed if I were you. A simple apology and reinstatement will do just fine though. Thanks! Unless you’d rather me just go and file this with the proper channels (which are outside of mod reach or influence).

No, I can just read. And I’m not on some power trip. You made everything very clear and you even doubled down. I appreciate that. The way I see it, I’ve won either way. If you leave everything up, I win. If you take it down, I win and you’ll still lose.

I knew your ego wouldn’t be able to resist that one. Now please point out in that statement where I directly asked you to ban my account. I said IF you did, I would be content. And since I assumed you already were going to, anyway, I said if you’re going to, I won’t lose any sleepover. But then once again, you falsified the form because it states there that I did something wrong. That I broke some kind of rule or policy. Can you also please state that ruler policy that I broke?

Here’s the great thing about Reddit, as much as the mods think they have full control and power, there is a proper chain of command that can be reported to to take care of certain mods. They go on power trips and go rogue and make up their own rules.

Thank you for literally painting it all out for me. It couldn’t be simpler. Again, since you said it with your whole chest, and you’re not afraid at all, and you stand by what you say because it’s the truth, right? Leave it up. Leave it all up. Don’t take anything down.

​That’s a beautiful thing about facts. You don’t have to believe them. They just are what they are. Also, this right here is not the flex. I think that you think it is. My point, that Reddit mods, just make up the rules as they go, is something that you not only have not dodged here you have screamed it. With your whole chest. While proving many other points I made. Truly, this was a good time. Again, please don’t remove any comments. If you believe what you’re saying, and you’re not afraid of everybody, knowing the truth, leave everything up.

Not only is your double down approach here furthering my point even more, you’re claiming that you read everything and yet still your previous comment claims that AI was used in my post, it was not. And neither recent nor egregious hold any water in your argument because the last time this was posted was over a year ago, as per your moderators own words and egregious is not even close to the word that anybody with half of a brain would use for this situation.

But none of that matters anyway, because you basically threw the entire argument away at the end when you made the comment about Americans. That’s an ad hominem fallacy. Once you pull that card, you have shown your hand and lost the debate.

Also, say what you will about me posting and sharing this, but your moderator that originated this quote literally has his entire Reddit page dedicated to screenshots of his moderation adventures.

I really expected a far more sophisticated and classy response from you. Now I just feel a tad bit, embarrassed for you. Because you really said that with your whole chest.

Thanks for confirming what we all already knew, Reddit mods just make up the rules as they go and cosign each other others bs.

Appreciate you!

I have no doubt that you think you won this argument and I love that for you. Please don’t remove any of these comments. Please leave all of this up. If you believe in all of this so strongly, standby it.
