WTF is wrong with this horrible woman?!
For someone who's supposed to be preaching love and compassion, she's done the opposite. And in the most horrible ways. I hope she goes to jail for a long time.

We adopted a young, terribly emaciated stray 5 months ago after someone posted about him on FB. He was headed to the rural kill shelter where he would have completely shut down before being euthanized.
He was a fearful skeleton who'd been wandering a rural area. For the first month or two, he hid himself away behind a dining room table (where we put a pallet of comforters for his comfort) and would tremble anytime someone approached.
He needed 20 lbs to reach normal weight. When I couldn't see his ribs anymore I started taking him with our other rescue to a 12 acre dog park. He started playing with other dogs almost immediately. I handed treats to people and asked them if they'd offer him one in an open palm when we approached next time. After a month of that, he began trusting strangers.
It's been a joy watching him blossom, like a seed that's been watered with love, fun, patience, treats, and grow.
This morning, his tail was wagging as he joyfully came to the side of the bed, happy when I wooke up. He's a wonderful boy.
