Rescue picture


Off Pigeon subject sorry- My sister and I rescued this poor dog that had been staying around a business park with 18 wheel trucks in and out all day for over two weeks, my sister had spotted her on a friday during her account / sales stops in compton, Calif a month ago. If your not familer with the area it isn't somewhere you would want to be after dark. This poor dog was most likely dumped by the owner, the business complex is a block off of a major fwy (91) and no houses for a mile or so. My sister's client told her that the dog has been around a little over two weeks and that he was going to feed her but didn't want her to hang around. The poor dog has a broken /deformed back leg (walks on three) and after three days of trying to catch her we succeeded and took her to the vet, we were informed she is pregnant with two puppies, she is only 8 months old and will be delivering them any day now.

I just wanted to show you what a sweet little girl she is. She now is living at my sisters with a pitbull, a big rescued ridgeback, and a chi dog, & four cats.. She has settled right in and will be living there for the rest of her life.

She is the sweetest dog and just wants to be loved...

Andi

Andi,

The poor thing---I'm sure she must feel like she's died and gone to heaven to find such a loving home after all she's been through.

I'm sure she will be a loving, appreciative companion to your sister and the family.

Best of luck with her.

Linda

I will let you


all know when the babies arrive. She will be at my house from Thursday through Sunday this week, so more than likely she will be having her babies here, while my sister is out of town. I can't wait to see what they look like...

Andinla,

What a lovely sweet dog. She doesn't look that old and a mother to be soon. I don't know how people could just dump her as this obviously what happened as you believe.

Poor little mite - is she not glad that your sister found her?

Look forward to puppy pictures...

Tania xx

Hi Andi,

Such a sad story to read, a puppy having puppies. God bless you for all your loving care and for your sister to offer the pup & kids a home.

Thank you also for sharing this sad yet heartwarming story.

What a sweetheart! I would have that leg looked at to see if anything can be done to splint or fix the leg. CA aspca from TV isn't too keen on letting things go for very long. Best of luck with her and her new babies to come. Pet her for me.

Andi,

I am so glad that beautiful little pup is in the loving hands of you and your sister. Your sister must be just like you.

My sister has secretly hated me ever since the day I brought home the mice and a gorgeous cage from the pet store. The cage was for hamsters and all 4 mice escaped. One male and three females. Unlike pigeons....mice to not mate for life.

Luv
Feather

Andi,
She looks like a sweetheart. People do thing sort of thing all the time unfortunately but there always people like you and your sister there to right the wrong and give help when needed.
We had a young mother (9month) who looked just like her who had 8 beautiful puppies she's lucky with just two. People should just get their animals fixed and that's that!
Did the vet say anything about that hind leg of her's?
Good Luck!
Hilary Dawn

PS~puppy breath is really nice smelling so get as much as you can while they're still puppies.

I actually was not able to


go to the appt to see the vet, but my sister explained to me that the hind leg is most likely a deformed leg and the vet said it isn't causing her any pain. I will be taking the mom and puppies in to be checked over after they are born, and will get more details on the leg issue.

My sister's chi (jojo) has become the nurse to this pregnant mom, always checking on her and standing by very concerned.

I will take pictures of the pups and post them when they arrive...

Andi
