Why Adoption Is Important To Me

Adoption is important to me because every year countless animals are euthanized due to lack of space in shelters. Did you know that over 200 animals are PTS every day? Thats over a million animals every YEAR! Why do animals end up in shetlers? They are found roaming the streets, confiscated from a bad situation or their owners just dont want them anymore so they surrender them to the local shelter. Often times people dont realize that that cute little doggy with the waggly tail in the window isnt going to stay that cute little doggie for long and within a few months the dog is "to big" and is sittin in a shelter waitin to get adopted. Well that is why adoption is important to me and my pack!

Adoptable

Well as most of you know my grandma passed away unexpectedly last April so my mom is now living with her aunt. She couldn't bring Lizzie in the house because her uncle was allergic and the dogs weren't cat friendly so she decieded that instead of making her suffer she would surrender her to the local shelter. I'm very attached to Lizzie so mom was afraid that I wouldn't last to long without her since I pretty much raised her as my feline puppy so we got surrendered together. We were at the Washington County Humane Society but mom doesn't know if we are there any more.

I'm a WINNER!!!

I entered the Year of The Dog contest. I won best 365 supporting pups!

Tagged

Okay there’s this fun game here on Dogster that requires pups to TAG other pups so that we can all learn fun facts about each other…I’ve been fortunate to have been Tagged by George Underwood, how cool is that!

The rules: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats that are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog.

Attack Update!

UPDATE!!!

Took her to the vet and got some good news and some bad news.

Good news we got herto the vet in time and everything not related to attack is normal!
Bad news she had more injuries than originaly thought because some were covered by fur.
Good news she's putting weight on her bad paw more.
Bad news she's got bruises where the bite marks are and the worst bite was starting to get infected!
Good news is while at the vet I found out that the attack has not made her afraid of big dogs because a lab sniffed her and she licked their noselaugh out loud
Bad news she had a surface bite on her neck.
Good news she didn't bite the vet(she nipped and got a muzzle)

So the vet wasn't so happy with happened. She thought she was going to have to surgicly open one of the injuries cuz it wasn't opened. I got a picture of the bite areas because the Vet encouraged us to file report so we have a leg to stand on if the PD decides to do anything(incase the dog has a history of attacking other dogs and got reported to the PD)

If anyone wants to see it here it is. It maybe graphic just warning ya.

Letter To Shelter About Attack(See Entry Below)

Dear HAWS,

I know you probably couldn't do anything about this but I was
wondering who to contact for a dog attack? I was on my home from
walking my dog ON leash and the other guys dog came upto her(this dog
seemed real friendly at first) I was trying to pull my dog towards our
house(we weren't even to houses away) my dog realizes I'm walking
away(I still had her on leash) so she starts to walk away when the
other dog lunges at her and it actually had her in his mouth and
dragged her a few inches(didn't get far because of the leash) my dog
was pinned to the ground and the other dog still had it's mouth on
her. Finally the other owner managed to pull his dog off of my dog. I
checked her out quick before we got back to the house and she was able
to walk and no signs of any bleeding but when I got back and got a
good look to make sure she was ok I noticed a small cut no bigger than
a dime on her belly. My dog did NOT fight back at all. The owner of
the other dog also had him on a leash. My dog is Shih-Tzu/Jack Russel
mix so she only weighs maybe 20lbs tops but the other dog was a Pit
Bull so if we didn't break them up when we did my dog would've been a
goner.Like I said both dogs were leashed and it was on their
apartments property. The owner was very nice and came back out after
taking his dog inside to make sure mine was ok. I still like Pit Bulls
but now I'm probably going be a little leary bringing my dog around
them for awhile.

I Got Attacked By A Pittie!

I was taking Dahlila out for a walk and we were maybe 2 houses away from home when a guy came out with his dog who was a Pit Bull he seemed really nice so the other owner and I agreed to let them sniff and move along well we started to walk away when the other dog LUNGED at Dahlila and dragged her a few inches! The dog had Dahlila in his mouth and litteraly PINNED to the ground! Finally the other owner managed to pull him off of her and asked if she was ok. I checked her over quick and said yes because there was no blood or anything. Get her home check her again and theres a cut about the size of a dime! I sent an email to the local shelter who also has connections to places to file a report. I hate to complain but this dog is one of the reasons people hate pits. Dahlila wasn't even fighting back! She was afraid to come by me to get a biscuit so I could clean her cut. As if my mom being in the hospital isn't enough stress now I have to worry about that dog being outside whenever I take Dahlila for walks in the future. This doesn't mean that I no longer like pitties cuz I do but right now I'm not liking that particular dog and will be leary of all Pitties until my dog is ok with them if this attack causes her to be afraid of them.

The scariest thing is that this guy was at least 60 lbs! Dahlila is 20 lbs max! She could've easily been ripped apart!
