Texas Woman Asks Her Facebook Friends To Shoot Her Dog

The woman posted on social media, saying no one in her house had the heart do it.

A woman in East Texas posted a message on Facebook asking her friends to shoot her dog because it kept getting into the garbage, KHOU reported.

The woman, who was not identified, wrote on the social media site:

“I need someone to come shoot my dog. No one here has the heart to do it. We will provide the gun.”

The dog, a 3-year-old Saint Bernard/English bulldog mix named Cinnamon, was taken into foster care and will be put up for adoption.

“It’s devastating,” animal shelter coordinator Nanette Moss told KHOU. “I work with these dogs every day. They are my life, and when she walked through my door it just broke my heart. She’s a sweet dog and how can somebody shoot a sweet dog?”

The woman will not face any charges, authorities said.
