Woman stands up for dog after realizing boyfriend tried to breed canine behind her back

Animal cruelty shouldn't be tolerated or supported in any shape or form. But what will a person do if their loved one decides to set an animal up for breeding without the consent of its owner? A woman from a deleted Reddit account shared a post revealing that she had been thinking about breaking up with her boyfriend because of what he had done to her dog. She started the post by writing that she'd wanted to get her 2-year-old German shepherd spayed.

"One of the forms I signed said if they found she was pregnant they would still spay her and that would terminate the pregnancy. I signed thinking there wasn’t any way she was pregnant. When the vet finished with the spay they told me she was pregnant but it was pretty early on and they still did the spay. I was shocked because I didn’t allow her to have male dogs that weren’t neutered," the woman wrote. The woman could not figure out when or how her dog got pregnant. She also shared that she'd been advised not to spay her too soon due to the joint issues common in this breed.

"When my boyfriend found out he was so mad. He had been telling me spaying or neutering ruined dogs and made them not have any drive. I have no idea why he thinks that but I did it anyway. He wouldn’t talk to me for like a week. It’s been a few months and yesterday a man knocked on our door and asked for my boyfriend," the woman continued in her post. She decided to linger in the living room and eavesdrop on their conversation. Her boyfriend revealed to the man that his girlfriend spayed the canine and terminated the litter and promised the man to "give him the money back."

The woman decided to come out and enquire about the situation. "He tells me that my boyfriend had my dog mate with his German Shepard and he was supposed to be getting one of the puppies. I was shocked and yelled at my boyfriend for doing that when he knew I intended to spay her and never breed her. He was always telling me she deserved to have her bloodline passed on but I never thought he would do this," the post continued. The woman was upset that her boyfriend wouldn't even admit the truth about what he'd done to her dog and she has been deliberating on whether she should break up with him or not.

"We have been together for three years and are talking about getting engaged. My mom thinks I should try to forgive him as I’m getting older and can’t afford to wait much longer for kids. He has an ego and thinks he is always right but I cannot believe he would do this," she concluded her post. Editing the post further, she thanked the Reddit community for their sound advice and acknowledged that her boyfriend was a red flag. She had decided to move out and stay with her friend for the time being but had no idea what to do with the house they lived in together as they still had four months of lease left. The Reddit community came forward to extend their best advice.

u/HighlyCaffein8edSoul mentioned, "You should break up with him. He was going to use your dog to make some money regardless of her health or your wishes. You probably would have been left with the vet bill if it came down to your GSD having the puppies. Also, your mom is an idiot. No one should be having kids with this man-child." u/littlegnat commented, "Your mom encouraging you to stay in a relationship with an untrustworthy man is very sad. You should never settle down just because anyone thinks you’re getting old so you need to rush it." u/Ghargoyle added, "If he's willing to ignore how you want to take care of your dog, there's a good chance he'll ignore other decisions you make for yourself. There are plenty of stories about partners tampering with birth control."
