Hey girls,
Sorry for not checking in yesterday! DH and I were on our way shopping when we saw what we thought was a little goat outside a local farm. When we got closer I realized it was a (skin and bone) dog.
My DH quickly pulled over and we were in pursuit. We were quickly joined by another lady and the three of us kept trying to coax the dog into our car with no luck. We continued searching for about two hours and were joined by the local animal rescue and a shelter. We had no luck. This was about 1200 in the a.m., we returned to the same spot that evening giving another hour before dark, continually checking in with the shelter. We left a bowl of dog food (which I bought from Dollar Tree, I also bought dog treats, dog bowl and a leash) outside the shelter thinking the dog may go to the sound go other dogs as it was less that 400 meters from where we saw the dog.
This morning we woke up with chores but put them to the side again going back to the site looking for this poor little doggy, The first thing we saw was that the food was eaten from the bowel. We gave it another hour, as it was Sunday the shelter was closed so we checked in with animal control and they agreed to move a trap (very nice) to an area we all agreed might be the doggy's hide out. We left the area praying for the pooch, we went back in the evening giving it another hour, checking the trap and the forested area near the trap where we last saw the dog. Again no luck!!! Once we got to the house (at about 4 p.m.) the animal control team called us thanking us for our efforts, stating that the trap worked and the dog was well fed and warm on a blanket. We were excited, we plan to go and visit the dog tomorrow. I thought the dog was a boxer
The lady from the animal control thinks the dog is a hound dog? Once the dog fills out, we know
I even said a prayer for the dog today. I am so relieved the dog is safe and doesn't have to spent another night in the cold outside.
I don't know if you know, but I am following/supporting a few rescues on FB. Never in a million years I thought I would see an animal looking like this poor baby did in my area
I thought they all in Georgia or Fl
DH and I decided to pay for the dogs Vet expenses
Chris - I am so sorry about your mom (((HUGS))). Hope she feels better soon.
Thank you Nora and Roxie !!
I will be back tomorrow. Good night, everyone.
