Need Help/Advice. Urgent

I'm glad you found her, and took her home. Luckily she didn't get run over. Kudos to you Lizmo for helping the pup. I'm hoping for a happy ending.

Me too. But I'm trying to not get attatched if something is wrong with her and she goes to a Lab rescue or if it's so bad that she needs to be PTS (Like it or not, I won't let her suffer if the vet says it's bad).

Omg, what a face! I'm so glad you found her

And regarding the PTS thing, I think a few of us misinterpreted your first post. It kind of sounded like if the vet wanted to do any sort of testing, that you'd just automatically have the pup put down rather than put her in a rescue, etc. so I think some of us just panicked.

Just so everyone understands, and please correct me if I'm wrong but this is my understanding at this point.. The pup will be brought to the vet, and if it requires expensive testing and xrays you'll not have that done and try to find a rescue. The pup will only be put down if the vet declares her terminal or something to that effect otherwise she'll be placed with someone that can get her the medical care she may need.

I sent Zoomer an e-mail and a text message. She's tied up tonight, but she'll see it

If the rescue will take her and do what needs to be done, yes. If they won't and no one can taker her/do what needs to be done, I will have her PTS.

Thanks Renee

Awww . . . she may be missing some fur, but that tail is wagging!

Oh the tail wags all the time. LOL And she's a Lab. She LOVES to dump her water over and play in it.

poor baby. I hope you find answers soon.

A-w-w...she's really super cute. I doubt that anything is so wrong that she'd have to be pts. A Lab rescue ought to be able to help and maybe a vet will take care of her pro bono since no one apparently owns her. (?) I can't imagine losing a puppy that young. It does seem like she was dumped. But who knows? Good luck. Kudos to you for saving her.

Well, dad said he saw a house off the road, back in the woods with a black female dog walking around. So we went and check it out - the man said he didn't loose a dog. That was about our only hope. No one in our neighborhood knows the pup.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. This is very hard. I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with her legs and she runs, jumps, sits, squats, etc fine. I think she might have been abused because she was VERY VERY hand shy when I first picked her up. Now she LOVES my family.

I think I might keep her a week and see if there are any lost ads in the paper.

If I take her to a vet what will they do? I just want to make sure she's healthy to be around my dogs.

Vets are a business and they can't always give free services. My advice is to go ahead and get a check up to make sure she's okay and a first set of vaccs, then put her up for adoption yourself (assuming you can't find a rescue willing to help).

Also, do be sure to spread the word that there's an available pup on lab forums. Just google Labrador Retriever Forums and there are a few excellent ones out there. Others may even be able to take her on, foster, and adopt her out for you.

Wonder if there are any more pups out there..I hope not. GOod luck with your foundling.

Omg, she's flipping adorable!!! I just love puppies.

Please keep us updated. And please check in with us before putting her to sleep -- I may be able to help.

She's not getting PTS. LOL

I'm pretty sure it was just nerves/shyness/scared the first day when she was acting like that. She was even froggin' tonight with her back legs.

She's got some ant bites on her stomach it seems like, all fleas are dead, but she's still got a few sores on her neck area.

Smkie, I went back to where I found her to see if there were more pups and I haven't seen any yet. I really think it was a dump

No need for the snarky LOL, as I was just trying to help. You said just yesterday that you still may have to put her to sleep, and I would appreciate it if you would check in first since, as I said, I may be able to help.

At any rate, I am thrilled that she seems to be doing better.

My internet was out most of the afternoon.

No snarky from me. But read my other posts and you will see that I've all ready covered the whole PTS thing.

In that case, I am demanding more pictures. She reminds me of Enzo.

HEY, JENN!!!! LOOK HERE!!!! United Animal Nations : Programs : LifeLine Grants

Thanks Renee. But I think she'll be going to the HS I like in Dothan. Last night was terrible. I was up every 2 hours with her, and I'm back in school now, and I just can't do that. I don't have the time or energy to keep this up. I'm really sad, as I wanted to wait and see if she could get in a Lab rescue, but I can't. I haven't slept but probably 8 hours since finding her. And my own dogs are suffering because she needs my attetion all the time.

Good luck!
