SOX needs a Foster or FOREVER home (Not a doodle)

[Joanna, Zoe & Bender]

Sox needs a home...

I feel incredibly guilty posting Sox on DK since she is not a doodle and there are so many postings of doodles that need homes as well but I am desperate and need to network however I can to help her.  Hoping my DK friends can help somehow.

My husband brought her home 2 weeks ago.  He was walking to his car and she crawled up to him in the parking lot, tail wagging, and wanting for human interaction.   She followed him to his car and propped up her two front paws in...so he brought her home.  All he wanted to do was feed her!  He brought her home, we fed her, bathed her, and played with her.  However, she seemed sick and unhealthy so a friend advised that we take her to the Humane Society so she can get the medical attention she needed and hopefully find her owners.  My husband was pretty sure she's been on her own for her entire life but we had to take her in because we didn't want to risk the chance of our Zoe getting sick.  

Turns out that Sox was already spayed and microchipped.  The humane society contacted the people listed from her microchip and they did not come for her.  My husband got so mad because he knew that she was thrown out.  The gave her Advantix and antibiotics for her skin condition and she was improving but she would not be able to for long because we found that this humane society was NOT a no kill shelter.  We went in and picked her up afraid for her life.  The counselor was brutally honest... she would not get adopted because she was physically unattractive.  HOW SAD!  Because she is the sweetest pup in the world.  

We have had her for about a week now but we can not keep fostering her.  I have severe allergies and was willing to work around it avoiding petting her and being around her.  My allergies is the least of our problems...Zoe is sad.  She hasn't been eating and just mopes around and is not her usual happy go lucky pup.  So...we desperately need a foster asap.  We are working with this great rescue (Forte Animal Rescue) and hope to get her adopted out soon.  Or as soon as she gains some weight because she LOOKS like a stray...haha.  She's really cute and has so much love to give.

If you know anyone in southern california (LA/OC) that might be able to help...please let me know.

Thanks to you and your hubby for taking her in until you find the proper home for her.  She is  a pretty little thing.  If you decide to keep her, Zoe will become fine with it.  Sometimes it just takes a while.

Cheers to you and your husband for caring. ,!!

Hello DK friends!  We found Sox a home!!!!  thank you for all your support =)

DH, Zoe, and myself are so sad this week because we are without Sox but we know that this was the best outcome there possibly could have been.  DH said it's better because now Sox has TWO people that can pet her everyday (because I couldn't due to my allergies).

Zoe actually helped Sox come out of her shell, play like a puppy, run around, and brought her back to the life that a 10  month old should be, etc.  Now Zoe is sad again and wants her buddy back.  We may need to adopt another doodle...
