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:)

Poor girl.... I hope the shelter can find out if she is micro chipped or not and relocate her family.....

Poor doggie. :-( I hope you guys find an owner, or someone who will take good care of her and the puppies.

Keep us posted!!  Poor little chi.  I love those dogs :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Good job, Taylor! I hope you find her owners.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I'm so happy you were able to get to her and keep her safe, Taylor.  Be careful what type of shelter you turn her over to....you want to try to avoid a kill shelter.  Here's hoping she was just lost and her family can be found.  Nice job.....I see a future in dog rescue for you!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

A very good and kind thing that you have done.  I hope she is just lost and that her owner finds her, if not - here come puppies!!!!
