Puppy Rescue

Again.

Well, I said this was something I wanted to do in my life. God must've agreed because it seems like there is no shortage of animals coming my way.


This little poots is maybe a six month old puppy mix. She was wondering our neighborhood for about a week. Some guy said she was in his back yard, but he never fed her and called the pound to pick her up. She went without food for over 5 days. Imagine what I wanted to do to this man.

She must have left his backyard, and some other neighbors found her. But, when push comes to shove- no one wanted to help her have a place to stay for the night. Luckily for me, and for the puppy, Dave is thoughtful and kind. He said she could stay with us until we found her a home. He didn't even put up a fight with me. That is great partnership.

So, I headed out the door for a run, but I will take some cuter pictures later. She is so lovable and sweet. She loves everything- and licks everything. Beware of her tongue, it is lethal! She wants to be by me and on me all of the time. She likes Roo, and she even likes Presley the cat. She has not chased the cat once. You can tell she is just in puppy heaven with food, a warm place to sleep for one, and some attention.

She even uses the bathroom outside when I say- let's potty! She looks at me the whole time, "Am I doing it right? Am I doing it right?" So, she gets a lot of praise.

She is a whole lot of puppy- she needs someone that can tolerate the puppy phase- meaning lots of attention, correction, and love. She doesn't need to be stuck in someone's back yard by herself. If anyone in the area is interest, please let me know. I am very picky- you have to love her the way I love my animals. So, if you are willing to give kisses, snuggles, treats, firmness (yet pushover at times too), then you might be the right person for this pup.
Roo is teaching her the shoe game here. It is his favorite game- basically tug of war with a pair of my old shoes. He teaches every dog that comes over the shoe game. It is really funny!
