I used to spend a lot of time at the local animal shelter and literally 100% of the dogs that got put down because they went un-adopted were shitbulls or shitbull mixes and said shitbulls and mixes were easily 90% of the shelter's dog population at any given moment.

i'm also from rural TX and can tell you plenty of people do this. my town had several trailer parks and shitbulls wandering around/into the streets was a common occurrence that no one ever did anything about. best decision in my life was finishing high school early at 17 and getting out of trash heap of a town.
>>
>>4878813
That's some bullshit because I have absolutely come across redneck aggressive ass dogs that are allowed to free roam. I live next to 3 of them. It's about a quarter of the free roaming dogs I see are either not stranger friendly or not dog friendly, or both.

There's about 20 dogs just in my area alone that are 'free roam' or stray, that's a lot of fucking money. And no, there's no shelters here to take them, and rescues are full.

>>4879289
>One of you is lying.
i know, the retard seething about city people is. dogs roaming around is perfectly normal in rural towns, especially in trailer parks where the average IQ is 75. i had a good friend live in one so was over there often and saw the most hood trailer trash shit imaginable.

Around me it's the pits that are actually nice. It is specifically brown labs that are awful around here, idk why. Snarling, snapping, and charging people. Will go out of it's way to attack you if they so much as fucking hear your foot steps half a mile down the road. Also have some mean little dogs but I'm not worried about them, you could kill them with a kick. I think the scariest are the failed pyr mixes people get to protect their fucking 4 chickens - 120lb dog charging at you really gets your heart racing. Have to carry a fucking shillelagh just to get the mail.

>>4878165
When I see a stray running around, I take a photo and send its location to the local dog shelter, hoping they can come soon, catch it, and probably give it a better life. I volunteered there to learn about the future of strays who get caught. They have a clear pipeline for them that prohibits euthanasia unless the animal has rabies or other extremely serious shit. If there is no sign of aggression reduction after several sessions with professional dog handler (she's ex-military and knows her shit well), the dog just stays locked forever. Otherwise, the dog is sterilized, tagged, and put up for adoption if it is friendly or gets released back on the streets if it is too scared by human contact. I see about three-four dogs with such tags annually, they just stay as far away from people as possible.

When I was a kid, my family had a black cat that would hang out with he skunks as friends. He massacred rabbits but the skunks were his bros, they would always patrol the perimeter of the yard together.

I seen a skunk last night do this thing he like scraped at the ground really fast like he was a cartoon character trying to run on slippery ground, then jumped at another skunk and tour out a big piece of fur and it bled a bit. Didn't bite it from what I saw so maybe not rabid just fighting.

I'm sorry, anon. It's hard to be a caretaker for someone who's terminal. My old dog lived for two years after being diagnosed terminal with heart failure. And yeah, he deteriorated very well quickly at the end. About 21 months of a very gradual decline, then 3 rapidly.

You probably don't want advice, but I'll give it anyway. Take as many pics and videos as you can now. Do casts/prints of her nose and paws if that's important. Spoil her as much as you can. Let yourself cry even if you think it's dumb or girly - what's more noble than to shed tears over a great friend?
It will suck really bad. The journey there and her passing. It will hurt greatly and you just have to deal with it until time builds up a callus. Keep a journal and write how you feel, talk to her through it, write down all your memories of her and all her little traits so you never worry about forgetting.

It's a hard road. I'll save her pic so I remember her, too.
>>
>>4876608
Sorry that you both have to go through this. Your dog looks great and happy.
