The wife and I were driving down Lee's Summit Rd this afternoon on the way home, and a very little puppy was running through the street. From the truck we could see it had no tags, but we couldn't let it run down such a busy street... just couldn't.
So we pull over, the wife gets out, and coaxes the dog to us. The dog stinks to high heaven, and has obviously been laying/sitting in urine for a long time. It was very apprehensive toward my wife and I, and was shaking like crazy (understandable). We are pretty sure she was dumped, based on the condition she was in. We took the puppy home and gave it a quick bath and drove out to Wayside Waifs, not realizing for them to take ina dog, you had to have an appointment. However, a guy came to the car and looked at her, and his first reaction was that she was part Pit, at least.
We don't know what type of dog she is, but by that time in the afternoon, no other place was open, so we decided to keep her around till Monday when we could find a better place to take her than Animal Control. Since she's gotten used to us, she is the most playful, cuddling, and sweet puppy I've ever been around. She has slept in our laps, and has played with our Lab so well. She is obviously very smart, as she's already figured out the nickname we gave her.
After that novel, my questions are this...
Would anyone be interested in adopting this puppy?
or
Does anyone know a good rescue place that would take her, and give her the chance to find a great home, without automatically putting her down?
I'll have pics of her up soon...
