Mutt_Lady Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 Kevin and I were out at a party last night and we were driving when we saw a blur of white go running across the street. Kevin recognized the white ball as a dog, so we parked and hopped out of the car. This dog was wary of us but after having a bit of left-over veal, she came right up and sat in my lap. We waited for an owner to come around the corner, blast us for feeding his/her dog and then go home. No such luck. We put the pooch in our car and drove around for two and a half hours trying to find whom she belonged to. We asked a nearby neighbor who directed us towards some one who owned a white dog. We went there and they had their dog. So after all this, we decided that she looked pretty rough. Her hair was all mated, she was starving and she looked relieved that a human was taking care of her. We also found a lump under her belly so we're worried about what that is. :-? Anyway, we took her to our HS and they said that she can be adopted in a week. They dubbed her a "toy poodle mix" and encouraged us to come back. We think she's between 8 and 12...so she's around K's age. This is so out of character for Kevin, but he wants to keep her. He says that if some one doesn't claim her by next Sunday, we're bringing her home with us. I don't know how some one could give up the poor old gal. Please keep her in your thoughts and pray that the lump is not serious! Quote

JackieMaya Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 That always just breaks my heart when I see senior dogs abandoned or surrendered. You and Kevin are GOOD people! I hope the lump is nothing major and that she gets a great home to spend her remaining days, and hopefully it'll be your home! Keep us updated! Quote

BuddysMom Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Update as soon as you know please!! You are wonderful for taking her in. Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted June 26, 2005 Author Posted June 26, 2005 Well, we called the HS on Monday and they said that the little sweetheart was still there. No one had claimed her. Kevin and I needed at least a day or two to think about whether or not we had the time, energy and love to have the white fluffball. We decided "yes"! But, I called Wednesday and two couples had already tried adopting her. It wasn't the owner coming back, just another two couples like us who wanted a lovely "lap dog". So the lady working at the HS said they were going to go around and check our homes I asked when we could have an appointment and all that. So now there are three potential owners for the tiny old gal. A woman named Carrie is coming this Monday to do a check. I'm very nervous. Wish us luck! Quote
JackieMaya Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Oh, how exciting! I'm sure when she sees your home she'll realize that yours is the home for the little girl. Quote
behle Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Thanks for stepping in and taking care of the poor thing! Good luck on your home visit! :D You guys deserve a head start on the others since you are the ones who cared enough to rescue her from the streets! Fingers crossed and paws pressed here! Quote
