Maybe MY Dingo Ate Your Baby...
I know that my presence here has been limited lately, but that is not due to a lack of action on the rescue front. Some of you may recall my most recent story of the beagle rescued from the freeway which subsequently had to be put down. Well, not 36 hours after that distressing experience, I encountered another little darling...
It was Thursday morning, November 11th to be exact, and I headed out the front door on my way to work. To my surprise, hiding behind a planter on my front porch, was a very small, fairly malnourished puppy. She seemed extremely timid and hesitant to remove herself from the nook in which she was tightly positioned. With a little coaxing, out she came and I scooped her up and we headed to the office. The whole ride there I could not believe that this was happening again, and so soon! She was the cutest little thing and looked like a cross between a dingo and a baby kangaroo. A few days passed and I took her to the vet. She received her shots and was given a clean bill of health. I named her Joey due to her marsupial-like features, and she is now very responsive when called.
Joey is a very obedient girl. She is leery of strangers, but warms up very quickly. She loves to play with other dogs no matter what the size, and she is house and kennel trained. I would love to hang on to this one, but I am afraid my hands are full (Artie is also still available for adoption). If you or someone you know might be interested, please feel free to leave a comment in the quote line or drop me a message.
