Oh my gosh! I rescued a dog!

[Taylor & Huff]

Today, on the way home from our shop, we saw a little dog that almost went across the street. Everybody who saw her stopped their cars and one was about to get out. Then, (Thank God!) she ran onto the sidewalk. I got out of the car and started walking after her (I didn't want to chase her because she might run out into the street again). We walked all the way down the sidewalk (she was still ahead of me). Then, she all of a sudden crossed the street again. I got worried and I ran across the street (this time I was running) and we got to the sidewalk and she immediately crouched down and pooed and peed out of fear.:( I put my hand on her neck and my dad came running across the street to help. Guess what? I realized she was pregnant! She is a little chihuahua. She is very young. She is probably going to have her puppies soon. It seems like someone had just dumped her. I am not sure though because she seemed well taken care of. Right now, she is in the one crate in our shop with food and water. I hope she is okay through the night. There were no shelters open (it was about 11:30pm). I didn't take any pictures yet but she is a cutie:) I am so glad I caught her. I couldn't have watched her get run over and die. My dad said he could feel the puppies kicking when he carried her:) She is very much a people dog. As soon as we got her into the crate, she wagged her tail and everything:) I hope she has an owner that comes to get her or she will get one soon:)

Thanks everyone:) I hope she is okay. She is happy today:) She likes people a lot. Not to brag, but I think she really likes me:)

Taylor,

There are some no-kill resources in your area.

Here are a few I found and you may be able to find more on the internet for

Don't use the drop off  shelter--of course  you already knew that  :)

Nice job, Taylor! Thanks for saving the little girl!! Here is a link to a national  Chihuahua Rescue organization that appears to be a good one.  Good luck with her!!

Good job! I hope she is just lost and her owner appears.

[Taylor & Huff]

hahaha:) It probably would:)

Good job, Taylor!  You rescued more than one dog.  Hope you'll be able to find her owner.  She sounds like a sweet girl.  Bet it would be fun to have a box of puppies in your shop...just sayin.  :)

[Taylor & Huff]

Oh my! I don't know what to do with puppies! I bet it will be fun though:) There was a shelter open with night drop-offs but it wasn't a no-kill shelter. We didn't want to take her there. I am so glad I caught her! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't. I am already worried enough about her in the crate at our shop. She was crying when we left. She is definitely a people dog. She also is really not even that dirty. She is mostly black with the coloring of a rottweiler. :) I think she can't be much older than a year old.

You have done a great thing Taylor!  I know you will keep good care of her till you get things sorted out.
