A BRAT person checked out the old dear girl. They wrote.
This female B, Oakley, is currently residing in an empty house and is being fed twice a day by the owner's mother. She cannot take Oakley as her husband just passed away. She has a B, as well, but cannot care for another. The owner's brother, who placed the CL ad, has two Pits that are not friendly. The owner's wanted to dump Oakley at the pound, but the brother placed the ad in hopes of saving Oakley.
She came up to me and my male coworker, when we arrived to, sniff us out. I was able to pet every part of her body, move her tail around, look at her teeth, play with her feet and pick her up without incident, as did my coworker. She has a doggy door and does know how to use it and she is house trained, not destructive whatsoever, and is very sweet. She lived with children from ages newborn to older and never bit, even though she had her tail and ears pulled by the little ones. She was never around cats. She has.badly yellowed teeth, many of which are nubs. She is very thin. Her hips look arthritic. She is mostly deaf. She has light cataracts. Her coat is dirty, greasy, and dull. Her back feel splay out. She has lots of energy still however!
Currently, I observed that she is very distraught being in a completely empty house, alone without the people she knew her whole life. She seems confused and yodels out to make known her confusion.

We are scrambling to find a place to foster her. Does anyone on the forum know someone who might help this dear b?
