A woman has invited friends on Facebook to come to her home and shoot her dog.
The animal’s owner said she wanted someone else to come and kill the animal because “nobody here has the heart to do it.”
The unnamed woman’s message read: “I need someone to come shoot my dog, nobody here has the heart do do it!”
“We will provide the gun!”
The post led to a flurry of worried responses from other Facebook users.
Nicholas Pet Haven in Tyler, Texas,posted: “URGENT FOSTER REQUEST!!! The owner of this dog is threatening to shoot it because it gets into the trash!!!
“Is there anyone who can foster this dog so that we can get him out of this terrible situation???”
Animal control officers and Nicholas Pet Haven reportedly picked up the animal — a 3-year-old Saint Bernard/English bulldog mix named Cinnamon.
The dog now has a foster family pending her adoption.
The dog’s owner will not face criminal charges because she gave Cinnamon to authorities, it has been reported.
