My house is NOT the SPCA
Current mood: distressed
Category: Pets and Animals
As many of you know, I already have 5 dogs because no one would adopt the three pups I had left of Lizzie's first litter. I spent $750.00 to get all the females fixed with shots and additional money for tie outs because they kept jumping the fence. I'm doing good just to keep them fed.
Anyway, tonight about 10 pm my dogs started barking. I turned my light off and there was a guy standing at my back fence. I didn't go out there so, he went and got into a yellow VW bug and drove off. I thought it was really strange and just blew it off.
About 11pm the dogs started barking again. This time I saw something white on the inside of my fence and thought it was one of my dogs that had gotten loose and was injured. I let my inside dog go out ahead of me as we both ran to the fence. Just as I got half way to the fence, the same yellow VW sped away and the white thing was a female puppy. Whoever the man was, left a small amount of dog food in a black trash bag. She looks to be about 2-3 months old.
The dog was burning up with fever. I brought her in and got her some water. She has little red spots all over her and it looks as though another dog attacked her as there are "healing" puncture wounds on her belly. I seriously thought she was dead when I first got out there. She's fine now. She looks as though someone shaved her in spots. She's white with a spot of brindle on her back.
Folks, I'm begging, "Please find it in your heart to take her or one of the other dogs I have left. Please!" My budget is already stretched to the max feeding the ones I have. My physical body is taxed caring for them.
If you are the man in the yellow VW bug, please come get her. Take her to the ASPCA or another shelter. I'm taking care of my dogs. If you knew you couldn't care for her then why did you get her in the first place? There have been 3 dog "dump-offs" over here in the last 6 months. It's not fair to these animals to get attached and dependent to an owner then left to fend for themselves.
I'm sorry for the rant but it just breaks my heart to have to take them to a shelter. The last time I did it, I started crying as I kissed the dogs goodbye. I can only hope and pray that someone will adopt them and care for them.
