"Rescued" a pug today! UPDATE!! She is chipped!

[Cincy'sMom]

The rescuer is giving the owners until Monday, and if she hasn't heard from them, she is considering taking her back to Animal Care and Control. Unfortunately, while we were talking, her grandbaby got hurt and she had to hang up before I could get any more information. I will call her again tomorrow. Please pray for sweet Pugley. I want her back with her owners, but NOT if they aren't going to care for her properly. I am hoping there is a reasonable explanation as to why there hasn't been a phone call.

I'm confused...why would the rescue turn her back over to Animal Control? If her owners don't call, this seems like a death sentence to me, espically if she is hurt

I don't know why either ... and like I said, she had to hang up the phone before I oculd ask anymore questions! The rescue place seemed so nice and I was quite surprised when she made that comment. I hope and pray that I misunderstood what she was saying! As I was thinking about things last night, I was thinking maybe she was going to let Animal Care and Control deal with the parents.... not that she would take Pugly back to them. You are right though, it would be a death sentence. I am in no position to take Pugly as a forever dog, but I know several people who I am sure would take her in BEFORE we would allow her to go back to AC&C.

I have LOTS to get done again this weekend, but I will call her back and get more answers and I will post again when I can!

You have been such a guardian angel for this sweet little pug girl. I hope there is a good reason why her owners haven't contacted the foster home yet (maybe they are away). Not sure what she meant about turning her over to Animal Control, but I assume it has something to do with the medical care that she needs.

Thanks for keeping track of this little girl!

If it does seem like she is going to be turned back over with no chance, let us know...there are enough of us in the surrounding states, we should be able to come up with some option for her!!

Thanks everyone! I wish I could take her in, but I am just not financially able to do so. With a 19 year old cat, the vet bills seem to be more frequent than before. I know you all understand.

I wasn't able to call today to check on her. I will do my best tomorrow and I will update everyone then!
