Two days ago I was on my way to work. A block away from my house I saw a dog run into the street and almost get hit by a truck. I did not see any people around so I stopped my car. I got out and called and she came right over to me wagging her tail. She seemed very sweet so I took her home, gave her some food and water and put her in the garage. When I returned from work I introduced her to my 13 year old Shar-Pei (also a female). After the ritual butt sniffing, they both accepted the other as a friend. The cat was not nearly as pleased with the new addition. Today we went to the Vet. She is very skinny, but otherwise in good health. The Dr. said she is about 1 year old.

Allow me to introduce Lola. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Are you going to run a "lost n found" ad in the paper. Not to sound like a jerk but...a child may be missing her dog right now.

Finding the rightful owner was my initial concern. When I took her to the vet they scanned her and she has a micro chip. The owner on file is the local SPCA shelter. I called them and they have no information on who originally adopted her (and did not bother to transfer the registration). They also told me that there were no recent inquiries about a lost dog matching her description. The vet said it appeared she had been on the streets for quite a while. In fact, he would not give her any shots until she puts on some weight. (she measures 24 inches at the shoulders and weighs only 37 lbs) My dad still had all the newspapers from the past 2 weeks (waiting for his curb side recycling pick-up day). We looked and there was only one potential matching lost dog ad that turned out to be a false lead. I will keep watching the papers.

I do have a heart. Especially when it comes to dogs. I am also realistic. I am out of pocket $125 for the vet bill, food, vitamins, etc. You can get a cute 8 week old puppy at the pound for a $50 fee. A skinny 1 year old is not as attractive to many people. I have not come across a single clue to indicate anything other than a DAPO. I think this neglected German Shepard deserves the same love and attention any of us would give to a neglected teener that landed in our lap. If someone turns up with a credible claim, I will of course return the dog. I feel I have already exercised due diligence to locate them.

Adding another dog to my family was the last thing I wanted. She is house-broken but does not know any simple commands like come, sit or stay. She wants to play with the other dog but does not respond to a ball, frisbee or any other toys I have tried. She is under the desk at my feet as I am typing this. She will not eat unless I am also in the same room by her side. She is a sweet little girl and has a great disposition. I have known many dogs over the years and I can tell she is going to be a good one (with a little time and work on my part). I am confident I will be rewarded with unconditional love as our relationship grows.

Count the ribs.

Nice work john. She looks to be a very kind dog. I hope she doesn't have and issues from beatings or abuse. Glad to see you saved her.

Good job, John! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I have a friend who picked up a Pug that he saw running around on a highway in Texas. He checked around and nobody had reported him missing, so he took him in and named him "Cooper" (after his new Mini Cooper S).

Don't do it John! He's known to mark his territory by installing Chalon kits!

Well, the quote function is a little screwy, I was trying to quote Skline. You get the idea.

she will be a beatiful dog when she puts on some weight and her coat regains some luster. yep, people love the pups. skinny strays need loving homes too. at your feet? you're her's now john. i bet, given time, she will learn some commands. nothing wrong with a dog that just wants to sit/lay next to you, waiting for a little petting and a few "good girl"s thrown in.

And what is wrong with Chalon's? I like mine, I built it for me. It's way faster than yours. What more could anyone want? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Good for you, John. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Lola's beautiful, and it's nice to know there's people out there rescuing strays. Our beagles are runners. They're both microchipped. Brian and I always say, if someone found our dogs, they probably would just keep them, they're so cute. We will miss them, for sure. But we see the chip as a way to make sure they don't get euthanized, not necessarily as a way for them to return home safely. If they ran away, the best we could hope for (aside from them coming back to us) is they find a good loving home to live out their days.

John,
You are a person of the highest standard in my book. You have the compassion and empathy that I wish were in others I personally know. To the Mrs and I, we view these little companions as children who need our love and care. Some people look down on them as inferior to us. We understand that no human will ever be able to truly love unconditionally. With that said they have something that makes the playing field MORE than level.

John,
Please keep us up to date with Lola. The Mrs and I would really like to follow her progress, as we love happy endings.

That is if you have time....
