Warning, you will get angry reading this.
My neighbors have an absolutely sweet female gsd. They force her to live with them in a too small apartment (less than 500sq ft with two people) and do not feed her a decent amount of food. She is skin and bones. The wife beats her and drags her around by her skin. Literally the dog is so thin the cunt can grab a handful of her skin off her back and pull her around by it. Sometimes the dog runs out and escapes and she runs to my apartment and scrabbles at the door, trying to get in. They do not properly groom her and her fur is matted. They had no toys or enrichment for her until I showed up and bought her some and the husband got upset with that and started throwing them out. They "walk" her maybe once a day. They do not take her to the dog park or take her on proper walks. This poor girl forces herself into the smallest corner of the apartment possible unless I'm there and she comes out and lays her head on my lap, as if begging me to take her home. Would if I could but as soon as I started showing her affection and attention she latched onto me and they started distancing her from me, like an abusive parent does when their victimized child becomes friends with someone normal.
I'm coming here because I've never had to report something like this before and I've seen how much all of you love your animals. I don't even know how I can report this. I have no picture or video proof, but I don't know what they require. It breaks my heart that this sweet girl has to go through this. I very much want to rescue her out of the situation, even if she goes to a different owner. To be honest with her health the way it is, it would probably be best for her to go to a breed specific rescue.
I'm not entirely comfortable listing my exact location but I live in the southwest. I do not know how animal control works anywhere because I've never abused my animals or been around someone who does.
To be perfectly honest, I want to beat the absolute shit out of both of them. I have other witnesses in the complex as well who would do the same and whenever we hear the cunt of a wife come out to walk the dogs a couple of us will casually slip outside to watch and make sure nothing happens while they're outside.
Of course, we live in America where justice cannot be properly served so unfortunately I can't treat them the way they treat their poor dog.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I still play nice around them and have considered even go so far as to manipulate them into selling her to me, just so I can get her out of there
