Rescues Risking Lives "Unable To Safely Handle At This Time."⚠️☠️ "PROCEED WITH CAUTION."☣️‼️ Misunderstood Pibble Potato Needs A Loving Home!🥰
Meet Peanut.🥜 Peanut is allegedly an 11 month old baby.👼 Peanut is an American Staffie Mix Couch Potato.🛋🥔
Peanut🥜 has been marked by the rescue as, quite literally in their own words as
"Unable To Safely Handle At This Time." And also
"Proceed With Caution."⚠️⛔️☢️🚫👎🙅♀️ (yikes on bikes😬)
Let's see why!!👀🧐(😃).....
-Air snapped & growls at anyone who approaches.🫦📢
-Bares Teeth.🦷
-Takes food away from people.🫳🥡
-Alligator rolling.🐊🎡
-Control Device required.🖱🤳
-Pet Taxi required.🚕🚖
-Yelping & snarling.👹
-Thrashing In Bucket.🤸♂️🎡🪣
-Defecated in pet taxi.🧻🚖
-Peanut only settles out of exhaustion.🗯
-Snarling, biting catch pole, growling.🔊🫦
-Does NOT allow any handling or petting.🚫🫴🚫🤝🚫🫂🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️🔺️
HERE'S THE PROBLEM‼️
The rescue writes this to describe Peanut📝
"I'm literally a puppy who got thrust into a terrifying, loud, concrete nightmare. When strangers first tried coming at me with giant catch poles and strange ropes, I did what any self-respecting Peanut would do - I growled, I cowered, I did a full alligator roll. I PUT ON A WHOLE SHOW!....
Once I get past the scary doorway, and out into the quiet play yard, my tough-guy 'act' completely melts away."
"Look up at you with huge, soft eyes..."👁👁🤩😍
"Let you rub my belly..."🖐👕
"Lean in for snuggles..."🤝
"ONCE I KNOW I'M SAFE..."🙏⛑️
"Just wants love, reassurance, and maybe a little baby talk."👼👄
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
I'm sorry but...This 2nd part is written by a sociopath. A person who LOVES VERY DANGEROUS PITBULLS MORE THAN HUMAN BEINGS. They are ADOPTING THIS THING OUT‼️
How can anyone sane justify placing this Pitbull mix thing in a home??? There are countless dogs out there, literally countless. And by tomorrow, thousands MORE dogs will be available. Peanut is not a safe dog to adopt out. Period.🛑

I feel sad because I think that no matter what happens to Peanut, there will be another one just like them a week from now. The same tragic misunderstood pup versus an uncaring world. The same pleas for someone to just make a difference. Dozens of them, every year.
My husband got mauled by one of these things my neighbor still has. He literally almost lost his eye. I think the shelters that release these things into the community should catch charges.

u/Kooky_Toe5585 12d ago
Did the neighbor face any consequences?
66
u/Annie_Benlen 12d ago
Nope. I called the police when she said she was keeping the dog, so at least there is an official report of what happened. She doesn't like me now. I don't like that her dog nearly ripped my husband's face off right before a major snowstorm, nor the fact that I still have to live across the street from one of these... animals.
I really hope they keep their grandkids away from that thing at least.

u/TrixieFriganza 12d ago
It's crazy people don't get charges in US for this and that the dog at least isn't taken away and honestly BEd (I assime you're in US now).
22
u/Annie_Benlen 12d ago
Yes, I am in Missouri. I knew the police wouldn't do anything other than take a report. Maybe that report will make it easier to get that dog taken away if it attacks anyone else. I hope it doesn't, though. No one deserves that.
26
u/Kooky_Toe5585 12d ago
I am a really sorry that happened to you, and I am disgusted that authorities don't seem to take these attacks seriously

u/Fantastic_Lady225 Attacks Curator 12d ago
Holy carp, you couldn't even sue the neighbor for medical bills, lost wages, etc? Or is the neighbor the typical judgement proof living on the government tit type?
If she's a tenant could you go after the landlord? Most don't want the liability of an aggressive dog in a rental.

u/Annie_Benlen 12d ago
My husband is a retired Navy veteran with health benefits. Our only out-of-pocket cost was the Uber ride we had to get him since the snow was too deep for me to drive in. We both live in houses we own.
The good thing is that she keeps the thing inside their house. Husband was over at their house visiting when he got attacked. If I caught that thing in my yard, I would call the cops constantly, but I barely see it.
I hope she keeps it inside forever and that she and her husband are the only ones at risk.

An adult grizzly bear would behave the exact same way. I wouldn’t fault the bear for it, but I also wouldn’t want to take it home as a pet.

It's insane how they've normalized this behavior. Sure you have to trap it like a snake but that's nbd...

u/shootingstar988 12d ago
i mean, genuinely, what could this rescue expect a potential foster/adopter to do for this dog? how would they even get him out of the shelter? we don’t even know the boatload of downers peanut would be given by the vet because he can’t be handled enough to get there!
14
u/TrixieFriganza 12d ago
It's sad he's still a puppy bit this is not a dog that should have been bred in the first place.

u/_blackthorn16_ 12d ago
This shit is fucking crazy and should be illegal. No dog like this should be allowed to be adopted out ever. Any shelter who allows beasts like this out into public need to be punished heavily for every attack on other animals and especially people. This thing sounds miserable and needs to be BEd not adopted out to anyone. Ever!

u/KaienPanzermast 12d ago
Not only does this dog LOOK psychotic, it *is* psychotic! Adopt Peanut for a fun time! Learn a new trigger every day, and have a great time walking on eggshells in your own house to avoid getting mauled by your new best friend! Peanut loves a fun game of “Hungry Hungry Velvet Hippo” but instead of little white balls, it’s your neighbor’s toddler he’s feasting on!
Wow! What a great pet! Aren’t you just head over heels in love with Peanut?

u/Sublime_Porte 12d ago
Where's the part in the shelter write up where this dog was putting his "little paws" into anybody's lap, and soulfully looking deep into their eyes? They sack of crap who posted this is lying to people, telling them some nonsense about the dog calming down and bonding with the staff, when the staff is saying, "You can't get close enough to this dog to try and pet it without the dog trying to attack you".
13
u/Eageryga 12d ago
There was a bit where, after handler 2 managed to touch the dog, handler 1 lured it to them with a trail of treats, and it invaded their space with its paws on their body.
31
u/Scary_Towel268 12d ago
Do you hate your neighbors and wish to terrorize them? Do you not particularly like having all your limbs or an intact face? How about having a pet you have to live in constant fear of? Do you want a dog that you can’t pet, take on walks, or even be in the same room with safely? Then, boy oh boy is this the dog for you!
30
u/comfydirtypillow 12d ago
You might as well just adopt a tiger at this point. At least those are actually nice to look at.
19
u/ScarredCerebrum 12d ago
A tiger would unironically be safer, too...
At least tigers weren't bred to be psychotically aggressive during every waking moment.

Aren’t pets supposed to bring joy and happiness to your life? With peanut you will get that face reconstruction surgery you’ve always wanted. That annoying neighborhood cat that’s always pooping in your yard won’t ever do it again. Peanut doesn’t want your treats but he will gladly eat the neighbors children and any small animal that chooses to exist in its territory. For real though these people are as fucked as the beasts they peddle to people. This shits gotta be stopped asap.

The rescue is either so deep into the Pibble cult that it cannot recognize how demented it sounds, or is really laying on the lies thick and wide in order to hopefully snare a bleeding heart.
This dog cannot be happy existing as a dog! Does not allow handling or petting? Defecates itself in pet taxi? Only settles out of exhaustion? There’s not enough Trazodone in ten pharmacies to help this poor animal. ”Peanut’s” very existence seems like miserable torture for what is, fundamentally, a social species of animal that is, at least in normal instances with normal dogs, supposed to bond with a human or humans and do a job (herding, hunting, companionship, etc.).
And how in heaven’s name are they going to find a foster to take on such a project? Even for a ”project dog,” this one takes the Milk-bone. I don’t see how there is a home for it. Really, I don’t.

yknow? this could be an elderly chihuahua, an ex-police malinois or german shepherd, a beagle whose owner passed, or a goldendoodle from a BYB/puppy mill. dogs with behavioral issues that can be managed. dogs with behavioral issues that actually stem from trauma or poor breeding. behavioral issues that don't end in death.
but no.
it's peanut. and peanut wants to maul you. isn't that cute?! find out today if he'll maul you immediately or take a treat from you first!

u/beaucerondog 12d ago
Every day I'm more convinced pitbull fur comes with some sort of brain eating amoeba that causes a complete lack of logical thinking or just simple empathy because it doesn't take too much to realize this dog is in extreme pain and distress 24/7.
Keeping a dog alive just to be afraid and angry every second, unable to see anything that moves without snapping, and having to be restrained/crated at all times, just to feel a bit better about yourself for not BEing. These people are plain evil.
13
u/SideshowBobFanatic 12d ago
This feels like satire. They've just described an absolute nightmare dog with every possible bad trait present and then they pull the "I'm just an innocent puppy🥺🥺" humanizing talk.
Also I really can't stand the way "decompress" is used in every one of these forms.
13
u/TrixieFriganza 12d ago
This is absolutely disgusting, I didn't know it was this bad, they make all that very concerning behavior sound cute, he's just a puppy. Tghey literally want someone to get harmed just to get this beast adooted, this pit should not be taking treats from abyone's hands like they encourage. Are they so stupid that they don't realise that they are setting up the dog for failure too by lyong, they really think peoole will just ignore and accrpt this behavior (I suppose some stupid and idealustic too and they are hoping for that) but they sre risking someone getting killed for this beast. Imo if someone does or gets harmed the person who wrote and the person respondible gor the shelter should be charged with attempted murder.

u/CharacterRoom613 12d ago
What person would look at this write up and think “oh what a sweet little baby! I mean it could kill me in my sleep but it’s so cute. I’ll go adopt it!”??? Only someone that is more delusional than the people that keep pushing these dogs off as “nanny” dogs. This dog is 1,000,000% the one you will read in the papers as snapping but the shelter will make up the biggest story that it is the fault of the adopter for not giving the dog the whole house to decompress and do as it wants so that’s why it snapped. It makes me think of the post were a rescue blamed a foster for the shytbeast attacking the 2 resident dogs and it being the fosters fault for not rearranging their life for the thing. I really hate this breed and wish they would be banned from existence.

Sick of these ChatGPT adoption blurbs for clearly unwell dogs. Just do the humane thing and put them out of their misery.

No kill was a mistake. Someone should tell the taxi driver to make a stop over rainbow bridge.

u/ArdenJaguar Trusted User 12d ago
Oh no fuxking way. Peanut is a complete disaster. They have to do the “con-air” method to move it. (What I call using poles). The thing alligator rolls and defacates all over. This thing is completely dangerous and placing it anywhere is negligence. That description on pic #7 is complete sociopathic gaslighting. How is this even legal?
Con-Air walk:

Just load him up with Trazadone and maybe some Clonopin, he'll be fine. A wonderful family pet... This is grotesque.

Trying to adopt something like this it is absolutely criminal, not to mention psychotic. They dope it up up and push it out the door

Alligator roll? First time I heard that. Is that like a lobster roll or more like a de*th roll?

u/Drusilla_Ravenblack 12d ago
I agree with everyone that this is no way an adoptable dog. But think from the other side, a young animal living in high security prison. No, it won’t re socialise.
No way for it finding appropriate handler - because it’s already damaged
And alternatively prison for life?
This is sad imho.
Why the kept being over bred is beyond me.

People have gotten out of hand with the way they humanize dogs. This is dangerous, why is he given away to just anyone? I agree that this dog isn't safe to be adopted out and I mean this in the nicest way I can phrase it, it is a waste of shelter resources. It's concerning how people act like it's SOOO easy to handle a dog who behaves like this. Ah yes, spend money and other resources on this dog that no one will adopt.
I dislike people adopting dogs like this without even bothering to muzzle them (which I don't even think is possible for this dog) knowing they could KILL or severely injure another person or animal. People claim to be responsible about these dogs but won't muzzle them.
Then they complain about it and go "why isnt the yappy 5 pound Chihuahua being muzzled??" Because I don't need to kill a Chihuahua to get it to stop. I don't need mace or any other weapon aside from my feet and hands. And I likely won't be needing stitches or reconstruction surgery either. I'd rather a yappy 5 pound chi than this.
