Still shaking....Update on Goof page 5

[Laura's Babies]

Wow! This could have had a very tragic ending! I would be scared to death living that close to so many pit bulls that you know are trained to fight... I would be having a BIG fence installed around my property.... or moving!

I just hung up with Steve, Goof has a punctured lung, it went unnoticed til today, they have drained some fluid and she is on supportive therapy, her chances are very good, as she is young and in excellent health before this. She hasn't urinated so they are going to drian her bladder also.Steve thinks it may be due to the trauma in that area and she is just bruised. They will of course monitor it. I will be taking a walk over to them in the morning.

He said she is responsive but rather subdued for her. Her panels came back fine and everything else is to expectations. He expects she will pull out of this fine, if not a bit worse for the wear. AC contacted him today to check on her condition, seems that the little girl that did this attacked another dog while in custody. She has to be quarantined for 10 days, so I guess Goofy was luckier than the dog today. AC put that one to sleep. RIP shelter dog.
No I dont know what type the other dog was, Goof is only 18 pounds of cocker , she is a bitty cocker. Not certain what breed/s the other dog was. I didn't think to ask.
This is a nightmare.

Oh Kim, how scary! I am so sorry...So glad to hear that your son is ok though... Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way for Goofy ((hugs))

And i could not agree more Donna, they have NO buisness owning a pit bull (or any dog for that matter), it is people like this who are ruining the breed.

Sydney I agree, the sad part is this dog did nothing it hadn't been trained and encouraged to do. Pathetic cowards that own her and poor thing attacked a dog in custody, her fate I fear is sealed after her 10 day rabies quarantine.

OMG, RIP poor shelter doggie.

In our shelter, dogs in quarantine are also quarantined from each other. They are in a kennel ALONE.

Seems to come back to, your AC isn't up to snuff! *sniff*

Imagine if that shelter dog was yours and you hadn't caught up with it to recover it! Oh gosh, this is horrible.

[Prairie Purrs]

A punctured lung! Poor Goofy! I'm glad that her prognosis is still good.

The mind boggles at what that idiot neighbor must have done to make that pit puppy so aggressive at such a young age. What a miserable excuse for a human!

[finn's mom]

I've been keeping up with this thread. I'm sorry for all the animals involved. People can be so cruel. I'm glad Goofy is ok!

[Jods]

Why on earth was this dog allowed near another dog?? What on earth is going on???

I am so sorry you are going through all this I hope everyone heals quickly and smoothly. RIP shelter dog...

Give your son a hug for me!

[luvofallhorses]

how sad for all involved! (including the other dogs) Goofy will be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery. (((Goofy)))

Their dog got out of a badly put up fence, several of them are allowed to roam at night to "get excercise".

Poor Goofers. She will be in my thoughts until she is safely home with you. Well even when she is home with you she will still be in my thoughts, as usual.
RIP poor shelter doggie.

[Reachoutrescue]

That is so horrible. I am sorry Goofy had to suffer to get that dog off the street. Sadly, the man will more then likely just go out and get another dog and start all over. I pray Goofy gets well soon. Stay strong.

[critter crazy]

I feel so bad for goofy!! I am glad that she has a good prognosis tho!

So sad about the shelter dog! RIP Shelter doggy!
How did the puppy get near another dog at the shelter?? seems odd, since she was there for a dog attack!

Walking down the hallways to the kennels is what I was told, I will ask about more details tomorrow.

I'm so sorry. I'm glad that your son wasn't hurt too badly. I hope Goof is going to be ok. I also hope that your neighbors aren't allowed to have their dogs back. They should be taken away to be evaluated (at least the one that attacked, I hope). I'm glad that guy got arrested. From the way it sounds, he probably didn't learn anything, though. Please give Goof a gentle hug from me.

First off my condolences for all that has happened and all involved... Congratulations to your son for his bravery.

Now... How and the heck did that pup get to another dog during quarantine?! Here at our shelter any dog that has attacked someone or another dog is located in an escape free area. (That depends on the dog. If the pound is overflowing sometimes larger non-jumping attackers are put in the main room. Which i think is irresponsible because some kid could run up to that dog's pen.)

And they NEVER put dogs in the same pen. Even if they were released together and get along. (Which i think is another stupid policy. If the dogs know each other and are well behaved they should be allowed to stay together.) I can see not putting strange dogs together though.
