I found a dog...what do I do? ...dissapointing update...

[AdoreMyDogs]

She's a really cute pit bull. She is a very sweet, friendly, submissive doggie. The Humane Society told me to call Animal Control, and Animal Control said that if not claimed in 48 hours, the dog will most likely be PTS. They are working on a pit bull ban in this city. I can't keep her. Finances absolutely will not permit. I'm not sure what to do with her. I've looked online and there's no pit bull rescue in this town that advertises threw the Internet.

What to do, what to do I call her Roo because she kind of has the face of a red kangaroo to me. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here are some pics. She's just so cute and sweet.

She is adorable! Crosspost this in dog rescue and also contact the nearest pit bull rescue even if it's a few states over, they may be willing to set up a transport train thingy to get her into a foster home somewhere. I hope she can find a good home!

She is adorable! Did she have the collar on when you found her? She looks well taken care of. Can you walk around your neighborhood and ask if anyone knows who might own her? I sure hope her owners can be found. It would be awful if she were put to sleep because of her breed.

I'll walk around my neighborhood in a bit. I'm sure she's a nice dog, but I don't want to risk her being around Quinn so I'll wait until my hubby gets home so he can stay home with Quinn while I walk her around. She had the collar on but of course no tags I sure wish people would put tags on their pets!

I'll cross post in dog rescue. I've already asked a few neighbors and no one has ever seen her before.

Pit bulls are really good escape artists, she may have gotten out of her owners yard without them knowing it yet. I wish people would keep tags on their dogs also. I hope her owners can be found. Please keep us updated. She looks like a total sweetheart.

Poor girl, I hope you can find where she belongs. She looks part vizsla to me, perhaps pit and vizsla.

Try and find her owners. Most likely there is someone looking for her, as she doesn't look mistreated/underfed/etc.

Here's Petfinder's lost ads, you can also place a found ad.

I wouldn't place ads stating she's a Pit Bull/mix - place ad with "young female dog, red & white" etc. Because she is part Pittie, be sure if the owners do show up that they provide proof of owning her (pictures, etc.)

She's a really cute pit bull. She is a very sweet, friendly, submissive doggie.

Animal Control said that if not claimed in 48 hours, the dog will most likely be PTS.

Call her a "Lab Mix" - that's easier to swallow than the P.B. label.

Did Animal Control take down a FOUND Report and get your name & phone number?
They SHOULD have - so they could call you if someone inquires about a dog fitting Roo's description.
Call 'em back and see if they will put her on their "Found List".

She MAY be a Displaced Flood Victim.
With all the High Water you had recently, she may have been stranded in the floods
and had to escape to high ground ... she might have come a long way from Home.

Call the Newspaper - see if they run FREE "Found Dog" ads.
If they do, don't give TOO many details in the ad ...
"Large, X_______ Colored, short coat, wearing only a choke collar. Call Leslie at (xxx) yyy-zzzz"

Then make any callers describe the dog in detail to you.

Good Luck to Roo in geting back HOME!

Roo reminds me of the little red-nosed, hazel eyed boy I was puppysitting when my accident happened. So pretty!! All the suggestions sounds great and I hope someone claims her. Good Luck, Leslie!
