Found Dog

We are the rescue people! I suppose I should be accustomed, but I forget between times. A dog showed up in the neighbor’s barn. Not a scrappy outdoor dog, mind you. A young, Australian Shepherd mix puppy, 20 lbs wet and terrified. She was skinny, tired, tick and flea bitten and after some debate, I brought her inside. Yep, in my house where she promptly fell asleep next to a fan, on a rug, as if thank goodness the outside is out and I am inside again.

Last night I fixed up the kennel and let her sleep on blankets and towels. Today we took her to a vet, looking for a chip and to get something for the fleas. The ticks are gone, fleas have been eradicated and we had a message on the phone, it may be someone’s dog. I called back and left a counter message.

Hopefully they will come collect Sweety before we become attached.
