Updates. Eveyone is actually adjusting well - NO, I still can't even foster anyone (we're leaving on vacation soon). The puppy is friendly, curious, smart, and good with the adult cats. She's actually doing well with Charlie and Sheila. She's no longer afraid of people. Not even a gruff white guy. The kittens are not ferral, and enjoy being handled. I really do still need someone willing to take them on. I would hate to see this pup put to sleep just because she's a pit. She's a DOLL. She's a beautiful semetrical brindle with dark sparkly eyes.
I have corresponded with a lady that does most of the pit temp testing at IACC. When my friend found a pit puppy awhile back, she said that we would need to get her intake number at AC and give it to this lady and she would pull the dog if it passed the temp test. If you want to send me your email, I'll send it along to her. She's really great and works so hard for our little Pittie friends!
Thanks Monica. I just sent my email to you via PM.
Thanks Lynn. Let me get everyone cleaned up tonight (I think she'll be a bit more colorful), and get some good pics. I'll put them on here as well.
Just in case, I know that my dog day care owner, Chris, works with a lot of rescues and fosters at the day care. 631-DOGS is the nubmer and You may want to give her a call - at least maybe if you were interested in fostering, she could board the puppy while you were on vacation?
I've been sllloooowwwwwllly introducing the hubby to the idea of fostering :), so if you post pics, i'll pass them to him and tell her story - small steps :)
But regardless, if you do talk to Chris, tell her Nigel's mom pointed you her way. Also, since we can't foster, I don't mind kicking in for the pup's food/expenses if needed.
These stories just break my heart.
Girl, you're killing me!! You know I have to take those kittens if no one else does! :) I'm going to have to open up Stacy's Cat Shack or Stacy's Cat House!! :) Thanks to Stephanie, I do have a spare crate I could set up in the bathroom. I have a person on another list that has a stray cat hanging around, and she thinks it needs medical care. There are so many homeless babies. :(
I just bought some extra small crates, and Kris has my extra large one that she could bring you if you really need to have these kids.
