Some background on the situation:
One day, several months ago, I heard whimpering and barking coming from the shed that is right over the fence from us. I thought, "Dear God, who keeps a dog in the shed. That's just not right. Maybe it's just temporary, like they’re doing work in the house or something."
It turned out that they actually had 2 dogs in there, one Yorkie puppy and one terrier puppy that appears to be a put bull mix. I ended up talking them out of the Yorkie.
I gave them a sob story about a friend that had 2 Yorkies, the older of which had just died and they wanted to get another companion for the younger one, and would they be interested in letting me take this little one off their hands.
So this leaves the other one. She spent nearly all of her time in the shed, being let out for short amounts of time during the day. Finally, one day she's out on a makeshift collar and crappy chain.
I ended up buying her a real collar, tie out and lead, food/water bowls and gave them a dog house I had. I even bought a bale of straw for bedding.
I visit her 3x/day and play fetch with some tennis balls I got for her.
It's not as much as I'd like to do, but I work full time at home and care for our 1yo daughter as well. We also have cats, so I don't think they would appreciate the dog as much as I do.
So last night the dog is back in the shed, and the dog and I are both distraught. I see the guy out there this morning and ask him about her. He says he's moving her to another house because he got a letter from our complex about keeping her outside.
He asked if I wanted her, and I said yes. I had been talking to a friend of mine to see if we could find someone willing to take her (my friend is part of a charity that does TNR for cats in the area). So, now we have the dog, but she still needs a home.
My friend has a spare kennel for her temporarily, but I thought I would ask if anyone in our area would be interested in giving this beautiful young girl a loving home. Please PM me.
Here she is:
