I'm posting here because my aunt and our family are getting a bit desperate and we're at our wits' end.
My aunt's neighbour wants to have her two Akita Inus put down simply because she's moving into a flat and doesn't want to keep them anymore.
The problem is that she has hardly ever looked after them. They've always lived outdoors, have barely ever been walked, and haven't been socialised. As a result, they are very wary, have had little human contact, and aren't used to other dogs.
At the moment, it's particularly tough to see them outside all day in the direct sun during this heatwave. It's truly heartbreaking. The rescues and organisations like the RSPCA that we've contacted have replied that as long as they have water and there's no obvious neglect, they can't intervene. It's incredibly frustrating to feel so helpless in this situation.
My aunt has already contacted several animal shelters, but they are all full and can't take them in.
We really want to prevent them from being put to sleep. Does anyone know of a solution?
