Hmmm...all this talk about dogs and cats makes me think...I've got a wonderful dumped dog that just got spayed and is chicken-friendly if anyone is interested. The best we can tell is she's about 18 months old, lab/pit mix that is jet black. She will bark and growl if a strange dog or person comes up. She was dumped a week before giving birth. I've never seen puppies born skinny. We were going to put her down because she was the skinniest living dog I've ever seen, and I used to be a vet tech.
We really didn't think she'd make it, but now she's fat and happy.
She's a great dog, and seems happy, but I just wonder if she'd be happier with a family that is devoted to her. We just don't love her as much as she loves us, you know? We've got our "main dog" and I just don't feel like it's fair to her.
Anyway, she is healthy and happy now, and if anyone is interested, let me know. She is safe with the birds and pigs and horses. Loves cats and other dogs, if they are supposed to be there. She housebroke herself and is a pleaser. She knows some basic commands, and has gotten over her fear of men. She LOVES kids.
If you are interested, shoot me a PM. I can send a pic, but you can't see any details...she's too black! She looks like a black blob. LOL!
