    HELP - Found Dog!

    I found this little girl wandering around my front yard drinking the sprinkler water. I watched her for a while and she decided to stick around. I've never seen her before. She didn't have a collar on, but her fur looks like she used to wear one. I'm guessing she is around 8ish months old. Her teeth look brand new. I need help figuring out what breed she is so I can put an ad in tomorrows paper. I'm thinking MAYBE a Border Collie mix, but she doesn't act at all like a BC (I used to have one). She is super submissive and nervous. And when she is sniffing she holds one of her front paws up, which is adorable! Oh and she chases flies! LOL
    Any idea what she might be?

    Australian Cattle Dog mix, would be my guess. My ACD mix, loves to chase flys.

    I agree--ACD.  What a cute baby!

    Ummm yeah! LOL Think you guys are right... again! Hehe I hadn't let her in the house yet when I last posted. I let her in and the first thing she did after sniffing the whole house over was to get ALL of my daughters Care Bears (that were all over the living room LOL) and put them in a pile in the middle of the floor! I'm going to try and get a video of it after DD goes to bed, she is rather protective of the Care Bears LOL

    Does this mean you might have another family member?! [:D]

    Sadly no[:(] While she is a sweetie and cute as a button, I just can't take her. I'll do everything I can to find her owner and if no one claims her I will have to see if a rescue will take her. I'd love to keep her, but I couldn't give her the type of home she deserves. I have 2 dogs of my own and a toddler so taking on such a high strung dog wouldn't be fair to anyone. Geez I feel like such an @ss saying that, but I know my limits...[:(]

    I think you should post Found Dog posters, someone may be looking for her! Shes a very cute baby, and if you dont find her owners im sure she will make a great addition to your family

    No way should you even remotely feel like that about it! Heck, from what you said you totally have your hands full and I'm sure your furkids wouldn't want to share their momma any more than they already do!

    She is adorable and I just know everything will be fine. She is lucky to be in your care. It is entirely possible that she got loose from someone's yard.

    I put an ad in the paper that will start tomorrow (free for lost/found pets!) and DH is making posters for me plus he is talking to the radio station we advertize on (we own an automotive shop and advertize on the radio) to see if they can mention her a few times a day to try and find her owner. Hopefully someone is missing her terribly and will be on the lookout for found dog ads!

    Could be dalmation/shep/beagle mix.  She is a cutie!  Sounds like someone removed her collar so as not to be traced b4 they dumped her!

    Man, she's just darling!  You're wonderful to be helping her this way!
    • Gold Top Dog
    Knowing your limits is a good thing. Could she be micro-chipped?

    cubbyrescue- Why do you say dalmation? Is it because of the spots? Acds are notorious for this look.

    Have you had anyone scan for a chip?  Bailey is microchipped and we just got her these pretty new tags for her collar, but we dont usually make her wear it so if she got out a lotta good that would do... but the point is myabe she is chipped and just has an owner that doesnt make her wear a collar all the time.  Good luck!
