Sally the Stray

, ,

OK peoples...seriously,my kids never fail to amaze me! The girls have been keeping a close eye on this adorable little dog whom we have named "Sally". She is very good natured and sweet...but I am trying to find her a home. My husband and I are 'thinking about' keeping her. I just don't know with the cats we have already, it just feels crowded with another animal. Anyone have any advice on what we should do with her? Click on the picture to be led to the starter album. love

Also a Few of my Favorite Things....Sally getting stalked by the bad cats!

She's so so cute!

A wee little thing like that won't take up much room. You'd hardly notice her. whistle bigsmile

Are you sure she doesn't belong to someone who lives in the same complex as you?

She's so cute!

If you really feel you can't keep her, let the local shelter know that she's available, but "foster" her until they find her a suitable home. That will give her the chance to become socialized to children and other pets, and make her a better pet for whoever adopts her. In the meantime, you could put up some flyers at the shelter and at local vets' offices (especially the vets' offices). That would give her a better chance of going to someone who would take very good care of her.

Gosh she's just the right size for my dogs. whistle p
I don't think I could get away with a third dog though. sad

o She's adorable...and I love the name you've picked for her.

I agree that it'd be a tad crowded with the 6 humans & 2 felines. left If it were me, I would either put a free ad in the paper & then interview prospective owners, OR I would find a no-kill shelter to bring her to. I've had to bring a cat to one of those before, and they're so much better than a regular animal shelter. The animals actually enjoy life there...especially in the free roaming ones. yes

No matter what you end up doing, the fact remains - your kids have big, huge hearts just like their Momma does! love

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 2:43:29 PM

Well, I am going to put her on craig's list! bigsmile

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 3:13:26 PM

She is doing good right now...the cats are trying to figure out what the heck she is. I took some video of it. p

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 3:37:49 PM

Well, she basically runs from them and hides under my feet.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 5:11:12 PM

LOL with my feet? bigsmile

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 6:03:09 PM

Oh yeah, but I hate that when you don't want to get scratched! OUCH! lol It's like, fight somewhere else...

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 7:07:35 PM

Do you mind if I ask what country you are from?

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 8:33:11 PM

OK, I am in Texas, USA. How is the weather there?

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, September 21, 2009 9:11:54 PM

I love cold and rainy.

Mrs. HermitessHermitess Monday, September 21, 2009 10:00:14 PM

Good excuse to snuggle under blankets with coffee/tea and read or blog! bigsmile

TabTabmartel Tuesday, September 22, 2009 12:10:20 PM

If you haven't done so already, place a found add in all local papers. Do not describe the dog and specify that she can be claimed with a photo. To many are claiming aniamls and in fact selling them to research facilities.

Notify local shelters and vets.

If you do take her to a no kill shelter vaccinate her first. Diseases like parvo are constantly taking the lives of shelter dogs, and you'd be helping the shelter save a few bucks.

On the other hand if you are going to foster her,then pehaps keeping her isn't out of the question. Fostering is an emotional experience as family and dog bond, making letting her go to a new home difficult.

Honestly...you seem to have fallen in love with Sally already, and she seems quote content with you.
My suggestion is do your best to reunite her with her owner and if that fails, keep her. smile

Tab...
Thanks for your lengthy advice. p I put a lost and found ad in craig's list, didn't hear anything so I put her on our freecycle. A very nice lady with 2 kids wanted her and she has another small dog at home, so I was all for it! smile

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, September 23, 2009 3:18:12 PM

I wrote a post about it...I am happy as well. love She was such a poopie girl.

Gorgeous cupcake Karen...it's making me want to do some baking. smile

Really glad Sally got a loving home. You did a very good thing by offering to take her back. Many wouldn't have even considered opening their home to a little stray in need. It's nice to know there are good people such as yourself, with big hearts heart

KarenNerak Wednesday, September 23, 2009 9:57:35 PM

I can't take credit for it, Tab. I hotlinked it off of someone else's site. lol I just Googled "Cupcake" and voila! wizard
