Rainbow Bridge: Sometimes We Cant Save Them – The Story of Taho

[Sugar Cookie]

Authorities in Minnesota say a puppy was thrown out of a stolen vehicle during a police chase and the canine is currently recovering from its injuries and being cared for by employees of the police department.

"From the open door, the suspects threw something out of the stolen vehicle," the post continued. "A white object hit the freeway and rolled into the lanes of traffic. A pursuit intervention technique was utilized on the stolen vehicle and it came to a stop."

Two suspects fled the vehicle and two remained inside, the police said. Later, they determined that the white object thrown out the window and rolled into traffic was a puppy that was less than a year old.

The puppy, according to police, was found hiding in the snow about 50 yards from where he was thrown.

Police say the puppy, who they have named Taho, suffered a broken leg and other injuries but is expected to survive.

Sometimes We Cant Save Them – The Story of Taho​

Taho – a 7-month-old pup was one of those very difficult decisions no one wants to have to make.

As rescuers and animal welfare advocates, we try desperately to fight mistreatment with good. To offer safety where there was fear. To show love where there was despair. To build trust where there was none.

Our mission is to provide a safe haven.

And as rescuers, we sometimes have to endure the heartbreak of not being able to change outcomes the way we hoped.

Taho was one of those heartbreaks.

Taho came to us confused. Broken. Discarded. He was in severe physical and emotional distress.

We know more about his background now and we know from a young puppy he was terribly abused. We know the person who threw him out of a moving truck had multiple animal cruelty charges in her past. We know he could not get past the trauma and mistreatment he experienced. We did our best to help him make the extremely difficult decision to let him go in peace and euthanize him while sedated for an MRI to see if a possible traumatic brain injury or tumor was causing his increasingly aggressive behavior. We found nothing. We consulted veterinary specialists and behavioral veterinary professionals. Given his increased bit inhibition and increasing attempts to bite along with his increasing anxiety, we believed Taho needed to be released from the inner trauma he was living.

On April 14th Taho was peacefully let go. Many tears were shed.

We also wanted to create a loving space for him to be let go in.

Not one of fear and trauma.

We were able to provide that. The shelter environment does not have the ability to offer that given its limitations.

He deserved kindness in the end after all he had been through. We gave him kindness, compassion, and love.

Rescue work is not easy and we deeply appreciate the trust and support we receive from our community. Thank you.
