She's a good girl.  Smart, good temperament, shy, someone has hurt her.

Maybe shepard or husky mix.  Free to good home as long as she stays alive.  I live on a busy road.

Trying to get her to hang out in the back by putting some food in the barn.

I expect she was tied to a tree somewhere and escaped, she let me get a collar on her but wont let me near it now to take it off or tie her up.

 

Are you trying to get rid of the neighbors dog again. Stop that!

This dog is really sweet.  Has taken to the property and stays in the back.  She doesnt run off, comes when called, and likes to follow me around when I am on the tractor.

Free to good home.  This is a good little dog for someone.  She seems to have been abused but once she trusts you she's great.

Looks like you've found a keeper.

Thanks

In 2001, I caught a stray dog (Rusty the beagle) and feed him for a couple of months. He was a young beagle and grew into a great hunting dog. After he got older, I didn't have a good place for a beagle so I gave hime to my dad. My dad, 79 years old, had 30 acres for Rusty to hunt and run. My Mother was in the nursing home, She had been sick since 1991. My dad lived alone at our old home and visited the nursing home everyday. The nursing home fed both of my parents three meals and each night my dad would leave the nursing home and drive the 2 miles home.

My dad died on 11-26-2004, the day after Thanksgiving. Since Rusty was by his self at  dad's house, I had to find him a home. Lucky one of my brothers workers took Rusty to take hunting. My Mother passed away on Janurary 21st 2005. 56 days after my dad..

She has the qualities of a herding dog.  Had to be really abused to run off but may have been dropped off at your place.  That happens often here.  Name her and keep her.  There's nothing like a good dog and you will be surprised what you learn from her.

Dean Koonz has just published a wonderful book about his dog, Trixie: "A Big Little Life".  Read it and you may just discover than an angel has wandered into your yard looking for a home.

As I told my hubby when he told me to leave the border collie puppy at the church steps: "You just might be leaving an angel on the steps of the church!".  Because of her and her illness we met some of the most wonderful people and had experiences that changed our lives forever.  That dog was his beloved KokoPuf.

Pretty sure she's going to have puppies.

How does your other dog feel about her?

Lol! If she has puppies, you'll need to start up your own kennel.

Pretty sure its not if, but when,

What's the worst that can happen?

Just made the whelping box, aka pen to hold the puppies in.

You're a good doggy daddy, Smitty.  #+

It's fairly well hidden secret that I have a soft spot for animals.

Good job. She looks like a sweety.

thanks, any breed mix guesses would be much appreciated.

German Shepard & something small. HTH.

We've decided she's a dingo.

It's a longshot but not impossible. I remember a dog named Lassie (Collie, I think) hopping a freight train (boxcar) and going cross country. That was years ago, so don't press me for details.

free puppies.  available in approx 6 weeks.

 :D

How many?

Awww man that is so cool. We both have a heart for animals also. We have deer and Turkey in our yds. and my wife would go nutts if somebody killed one. RTR!

8 total, I think 6 will make it.

1 is very small and ill and wont nurse.  The other runt may have some issue with his legs.

If the little one is still alive, go to any of the pet stores and buy small bottles with a selection of nipples (comes in one pack)  and Esbilac for Puppies.  I bought both at Pet Depot.  P.S. none of the nipples had a hole in it so I took a big needle and made one.  Esbilac is great for puppies, kittens, rabbits, squirrels and flying squirrels.  I have used it on all of those except kittens (don't tend to find them in the wild) and they thrive.  Regular milk is a no no.  Animals are allergic to it.  It still might not make it but it's something to try.

I am currently raising a baby rabbit I almost stepped on in our path.  I have had him (or her) for three weeks as of today.  And it has turned from a cuddly little bunny into a pretty wild hare but he will let me pet him (but not pick him up).  We will keep him about 2 more weeks and release him back to the wild. I had to bottle feed him initially but now he is eating rabbit food, spinach and Esbilac mixed half and half with water.  He has tripled in size.

We have some little puppy nursing bottles and we're keeping her warm.  The girl is trying to save it.  If we can keep it alive until tomorrow we'll take her to the vet and see what they say. 

Good luck to you.  She seems to be holding on so what you're doing seems to be working.   Hopefully, she just is too small to suck or to fight the other puppies for a space.  Some TLC may be just the thing.  Sounds like you are doing all the right things!

Thanks, thats what the vet said, we're doing all we can.  The girl got up every 3 hours through the night to feed it.

The other runt seems to be doing OK.  The momma doesnt push him away.  She pushes away the little bitty one.  It's sad really.

The good news is the other 6 are monsters and growing fast. 

You might as well name the runt!  The girl is going to want to keep her!  ;)

With all the TLC she is getting she will probably be a wonderful, loving pet.
