I'm an actual, real, human, adoptee/ex-foster child. I believe I'm allowed to use all the tags that non-adoptees have used to advertise "adoption" of their characters, of their dogs, of all the things that are not human children who have been removed from their parents.
Adoptees are 2% of the population, a highly diverse group who have all suffered trauma, and the very language used to discuss us has been appropriated by non-adoptees to sell their products.
Please take a moment of your time to actually listen to an adoptee voice.
I know my posts don't get a lot of likes, but I need to tell you this. My best friend's parents got her a puppy who is a sweetheart and was good with dogs, even trained. A while back her parents 'dog attacked her dog, Millie, and she became reactive. She was still sweet with people, just feared dogs. While my friend was getting stuff sorted, her dad let Millie out to try and connect with their dog. Millie then bit their dog who was showing signs of wanting to attack her so while my friend was away they took Millie back to the shelter they got her from since she was still in their name because she was a gift. My friend can't get her back because she needs to own a house in order to have her. She has tried to get her back and explained the situation, but they can't allow it because a house is needed. Her dog is still in the shelter. The shelter posted her but it hasn't gotten much attention. If you can please talk to anyone near or in St. Pete Florida about a 9 month pitbull that is not dog friendly but people friendly please help. She is in Petpal animal shelter as it shows in the photo. Even reposting this will help, my friend is absolutely devastated in not being able to get her back and is currently trying for a house, however she doesn't want her baby to stay in the shelter for so long. If possible even go to the insta page, PetPal animal shelter and liking her image and commenting will boost it, please.
