    Meet My Foster! = )

    I haven't been posting barely at all lately, I know. I miss PT. My life has been really busy... and it just got about 10x busier!

    Me and my friend Grace were heading to the park with the dogs yesterday, and as we pulled up we saw a (d-bag extraordinare) man tossing a skinny puppy from his truck. When we walked over, we noticed the puppy was tied to a pole with a string, and the guy was backing out of the parking lot. He had another young Pit Bull tied up in the back of his truck, who jumped over and hung himself. The man got out, cursed at the dog and threw him back in, then sped away.

    I managed to get his license plate number, and called park police. Who told me to call animal control. Who told me to call the police department. Who told me they would put out his license plate and his description but that they don't handle cases that aren't "cruel and unusual". They recommended I leave her at the shelter drop box. Which, of course, I would NEVER do, especially considering how horrible our shelter is.

    So, meet my new foster puppy, Jemima! She is so sweet and eager to please despite being on the verge of starvation, she hasn't even had a single accident. She is 16 lbs of skin and bones, and she seems to be around 6-10 months old based on her teeth. She has a few scars on her head, muzzle, and tummy.... from what, I don't know. She is the best hugger EVER! Mima has yet to meet the boys, since her Vet appt is on Tuesday, but she seems very neutral about them.

    This was taken with a camera phone where we found her.


    Hai! Iz Jemima.


    I likez this eating thing.


    Nom!


    Eating probably her first meal in a long time...


    After her first bath in a VERY long time!
    For such a little girl, she was soooo filthy. It took 10 minutes before the water wasn't brown. She was very good with all of it, though.


    She loves the bed I made her. She is staying mostly in the master bathroom, until I know she's healthy.


    Rub tummeh?


    The sweetest doe eyes.



    So... anyone in Nor Cal looking for a super sweet Pittie mix puppy? I'm thinking some kind of "Pit Bull" breed, maybe Staffordshire Bull Terrier, mixed with Beagle or some kind of Shepherd mix in there.

    Oh, Mima!! You are so completely adorable!!! I am so glad you are safe now....you are in great hands and will thrive now! No more pickup truck rides for you!!

    Mima really does look like she has a little Pittie in her and definitely German Shepherd or Beagle....whatever she is....she is 100% utterly cute!!

    Thank you for saving her and sharing her beautiful face with us!! I know she will find a wonderful home once she is up to fully healthy and gains the weight she desperately needs!!

    Jemima is very cute... and endearing. I hope I can find the perfect home for her. She deserves to have a happy life.

    Did I mention that she is a lapdog?

    Oh, she is so sweet! What is a matter with people? How can they treat sweet little pups like this. You can see her poor ribs in several of those pictures. I hope the police catch the man that abandoned her. It was very nice of you to bring her into your home and take care of her. Do you think you might keep her if she is healthy?

    Awwww!! She's just adorable! Those big brown eyes just scream thank you!

    I can't believe that guy just tossed her out. Thats so horrible. But at least it all lead to a better life! Too bad he didnt toss both dogs really. Thats just so sad. I don't know how its not considered cruel and unusual. Pfft.

    At least she found you!

    Oh my gosh.. My heart stopped. I really adore that pup! I'd take her in a heartbeat if I lived in California. I hope she will find a great home! Looks like she is definitely part Beagle, judging on her size!

    Hello Jemima! I bet you were kinda worried when that bad man put you tied on the pole and got ready to leave. YOu were really a lucky girl that day, because someone very special was close by to wsee what was happening. And now look at you, all clean and getting regular meals! Makes me teary with smiles! I do love your doe eyes, sweet lady.

    Grr, that IDIOT! The poor dog he took sounds like it was attached / bonded with Jemima and wanted to stay with HER not him! I sure hope someone catches him and gets that dog and any others away from him.

    Bless you for acting promptly and stepping in to help her! HUGS to both of you!

    OMG! I'm fighting back the tears. She is such an innocent little sweetheart. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

    I just want to go after people like that and punish them with torture!!!!!

    She is so beautiful and I can see the hurt in her little eyes. Thank you for saving her. Thank goodness you came along exactly at the right time.

    I just hope that he gets what he's got coming to him asap!!!!!!!!


    I've been Boo'd...

    Thank goodness you were there to rescue this doll baby! I just don't understand people like that who can just dump dogs off and not feel bad about it. What a jerk! Too bad the cops/animal control gave you the run around. You just know that idiot probably does crap like that all the time.

    Jemima has a very sweet face and expressive eyes. Who knows...you may be a "foster failure" with this one! LOL
