I'm torturing myself

Off Topic

  • so i made the mistake of looking at pets at the animal shelter near me. I found this little cutie http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13018753

    ALL the dogs at this shelter are euthanized after 10 days! :( Its only $50 to adopt it… I'm seriously considering going to rescue her and see if i can find a home for her, or at the VERY least I wonder if i could take her from here to the Humane society so that she at least has a CHANCE of being adopted. I imagine a little cutie like her would be scooped up quickly! I wonder if they would let me keep her at my place but list it on their site for adoption....

    Anyone have experience with this? I would be concerned with the fact that there is NO history on her and I wouldn't want to expose my B's to anything. Are there vets that will give free exams to rescues like this?


  • There should be vets in your area that will do a free or very low cost exam.

    We fostered pups for about a year and a half and none of our dogs got anything from any of them. No even a flea or kennel cough. Worst case scenario would be parvo but our dogs are all vaccinated.


  • I called around to some vets yesterday and NONE of them do low cost or free exams! I'm surprised! I also called the shelter and there have already been a few calls expressing interest in the little girl so hopefully she will be adopted. I will check again next week and if not, i'll probably pick her up myself….

    sigh...


  • Actually - I posted it on the Podengo group - lots of members in the area and looks like might be something from one of the hunt packs (or a golden GSD mix) Maybe one of them will bite.

    I enjoyed the video, whilst in Kefalonia snorkelling i saw several Octopi , i think they're fascinating creatures. The ones i saw stayed very still, don't think i'd of been so keen if one had shot towards me.

    @Maya: If you're living in Holland, you need a Friesian!!! :D I have the most wonderful friesian, her temperment is amazing. She's not even 3 yet but she is just so sweet and gentle!! But, do keep us updated. I've had horses since i was 3 and they are a huge part of my life. I couldnt be without them even though im not as involved in the horse world as i once was!! P.S. I have some photos from a show over here in the UK with shires in their traditional plaits and tack if anyone is interested in seeing them. Its just amazing!! Yes!! I love to see the pictures!!! I like the Friesian horses but it's not a breed wich can used for lots of things, they are to special i think :D I like the Friesian for shows and as a barouche horse (is it a good word?) I once ride a Friesian and it's different with riding a normal or western horse. They make larger steps and it's very comfortable riding! A friend of us breeds the Friesian :D @moetmum: That sounds exciting, hope it all goes to plan. Our neighbouring farmer used to breed shire horses, they don't breed now but still have loads of horses. They go to loads of shows, they were sponsored by a local brewery. The horses are fascinated by the basenjis, and always want to come and have a look! the b's aren't keen when they snort at them though. I have never heard of a horse milking farm before!! Wow!!! If it was a little bit near Holland, I really would come over to met you and take a look at the shires next door :D:D We're don't going to live in Holland :D In Germany they have also some very nice breeds Hannoveraan, holsteiner (i don't know the english names…0

    @JazzysMom: …but God and Rielly showed her who is really in control -- he was born almost exactly 24 hours before the scheduled C-section! hee hee I told her, 'Welcome to parenthood. Now you know exactly how much control you have over your life. " hee Now that is funny!;)
