Alan saw a red hatchback car stopped on our road yesterday afternoon. What do you suppose the people were doing? Perhaps they stopped during a long journey to pee in the woods along an isolated single lane dusty dirt road? Possibly.
Or, how about dumping this puppy in the ditch? Yes, they most definitely did. With no food, and no water (not even a natural water source, for MILES!)
Alan picked her up as soon as he saw her, and brought her to the house. Now we're on a mission to find her a home.
Let's show how cute she is, shall we?
She's tri-color, brown, black and a bit of white on her chest and faintly on her chin. Really dark black coloring around her eyes.
Legs on the 'shorter' side, stalky, and strong. Big paws for good puppy pouncing!
Pretty, white teeth -- say AWWWWW!
She's a good eater (soft and dry food), and has healthy looking doodles! (Oh, how embarrassing!)
She is not afraid to take us for walks. Really! Let's GO!
She loves to PLAY! Whatever is easily accessible will do just fine!
She is cheerful, and full of puppy energy! She gets along well with other dogs, and cats. She wants to play with them!
Yesterday, she got a really good bath to get rid of the fleas she had. She enjoyed the lathering up process, but wasn't to sure about the rinse job! But now, she's clean and SOFT as can be!
Please, help us find her a family.
We are located in central Texas, and can be reached via comments on this blog post.
What the flip is the matter with people!!!??? Thank you so much to you and Alan for being such wonderful people. I hope you find that sweet face a loving forever home.

Maybe finding a home for this little jigger of a dog will help keep your mind a little more distracted after the loss of Farley for a while.......Love, Dad

Some people are just rotten, you guys are amazing! Hope your home search is coming along. Love from Michigan. :)

It just chaps my hide when irresponsible people have an animal and just decide to dump it. That is why things are the way they are now. Boy!! We live in such a disposable society. Toss it aside and let it find its way!

I had not thought lately that you lived in "the middle of nowhere" but I suppose some folks would know where that is. Knowing how many cats just happened to like your neighborhood, The local Vet and spay and neuter clinic think Alan is a Superhero. I suppose it is to coincidental to think that it is cat or dog heaven. Some would argue that since you have the same number of critters on the place that Noah had whats one more? I have the answer for that one but fortunately it can't be printed in this format without being bleeped out..........Love, Dad

Bless you for taking her in and finding her a home, and bless your readers who have already offered that home! Helps heal the hurt of knowing there are such heartless people in the world who would toss a living (baby!) creature out like trash.
Posted by: Michelle | May 29, 2012 at 07:14 AM
She's beautiful! HOW could anyone just dump her and leave her to die? I pray that someone takes her and gives her a wonderful home. She looks and sounds like she has a fun, loving personality. Blessings on you and Alan for helping her find a more worthy home than her last one.

I am glad you found her. Unbelievable what some people do. i am glad you are finding her a home..I see people are already offering her a home..Yay!

I love this dog already. If I didn't live in CA and I could make my husband believe we need one more dog, I would adopt. My dog Addie would love her. Chris
Posted by: Jerry Wilkes | May 28, 2012 at 05:45 PM
Please get her vaccinated and dewormed ASAP! And make whoever takes her pay that amount in adoption fee. And "VET CHECK" the people that take her. Make sure their previous pets were vaccinated and on heartworm prevention, etc.... She is beautiful and deserves a good chance!
Posted by: Melissa H. | May 28, 2012 at 05:42 PM
We are in San Antonio and will be happy to give her a home if she still needs one. I have 3 other "children" that would love to run and play with her. Contact me if she still needs some one to give her a happy home.

This really bothers me! What is wrong with people!!!!!
A man in Toronto took 4-mixed bulldog puppies, put them in a suitcase and tossed them in a huge garbage dumpster. Thankfully, someone walking by heard them crying and rescued them. They were able to trace the dogs back to the cruel owner, cause the goof left his ID luggage tags on. Our Laws need to inflict more penalties for this abuse towards all animals.
Keep us posted Anna ~ hope you find a loving & caring home for the cutie ♥

I'd take her in a heartbeat but I'm in Canada. She's one lucky puppy and so cute.
Posted by: Sonya | May 28, 2012 at 09:23 AM
Hi I'll take her, I live near close Dallas,I don't know how far is it from yours place. Thanks. Let me know....Gina

Oh Anna! Precious pictures! You and Alan need to KEEP her! What a wonderful home she would have on the farm! You NEED her! Yes! you do!
Posted by: Mary W. | May 28, 2012 at 08:42 AM
Oh Anna, what a little doll! Thank you Alan for saving her! People drop off unwanted animals all the time thinking they will get taken in by someone and that is very SELDOM the case. These people should be dropped off out in the middle of nowhere and see how they do.
I pray you find her a good furever home!
Posted by: VivLyn | May 28, 2012 at 07:35 AM
She is absolutely adorable and I would take her in a heartbeat if I lived near you (I'm in Illinois.)I am sure someone will want to adopt her!
Posted by: Susan Z | May 28, 2012 at 06:32 AM
Oh thank goodness Alan was there! I'd like to drop those people off in the middle of a desert! We have a voice, we can understand direction based on the sun, we would fair much better in this kind of situation! That sweet soul can't communicate, doesn't understand cars and highways! Ugh! It's surprising how many people do this! This is the 2nd time I've read about it on your blog. I sure hope you find a loving forever home for that little beauty! I can Facebook it if you like? Oh and put a photo on Pinterest. I have over 400 followers on Pinterest. Someone has to live in Texas or know of someone in Texas that would love that pup!

Shame on those who could be so heartless as to dump an innocent animal anywhere, much less in an area where there are no natural resources such as water. Thank GOD (really!) for putting Alan right where he needed to be for the sake of this adorable doggie. She looks to be part beagle at least ... would be a lovely family pet, I'm sure. (I'd take her in, in a flash, if I was allowed by my Homeowners Association to have more than my max-two furbabies!!) God bless you for your rescue, and posting such heartwarming pictures of this sweet animal!

ADORABLE! Call her Butterscotch!! People who dump animals are such cowards! I hate that! I hope you find a nice home for her. Shouldn't be too hard! But Idaho is too far!! XOXO
Posted by: Jeanne in Idaho | May 27, 2012 at 09:26 PM
That's awful! We are about to move to Houston but we are renting and already have two dogs...wonder what it would take to convince the hubby we need one more?
Posted by: Alexis Hilgert | May 27, 2012 at 08:42 PM
I wish Alan could have got there in time to shoot out their tires and call the cops.
Posted by: Shala C. | May 27, 2012 at 08:30 PM
Aww that made me cry. Thank goodness Alan was there. There will be a special place in heaven for him. I can't believe people can be so cruel. I would take her in a minute but already have a furever friend and just can't take on more but I am sending this on.
Posted by: Sheri | May 27, 2012 at 07:39 PM
I can't BELIEVE anyone could do that. It breaks my heart. Thank goodness Alan saw them & got to her right away -- I hope you find a great home for her! What a cutie!
Posted by: Michelle | May 27, 2012 at 07:18 PM
Oh I wish we could take her but we live a long ways away.
Posted by: SueB | May 27, 2012 at 04:58 PM
It's just amazing to me what people will do! Shelters are all over this country!! Just breaks my heart. What kind of people do that!! the kind of people who want never be my friend. She has found a wonderful foster home. she's just the cutest and I'm sure someone will want her in a heart beat!! You're so wonderful to take care of her and find her a safe and happy home. God bless you!!
Posted by: Kelly Leonard | May 27, 2012 at 03:43 PM
Oh my goodness..she is adorable wish I lived closer..anyways she could be sent to Canada??? LOl guess not..praying for a good home for her =)!
Posted by: Judy L Rozema | May 27, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Ooooh, precious, precious puppy...and FANTASTIC photos, Ana! So disheartening to think people actually DUMP animals like this; but so heart-warming to know that there are good people like you to rescue them. I hope she finds a new home soon. I mean, could she BE ANY cuter?!
Posted by: Cindy Lawrence | May 27, 2012 at 03:11 PM
Ohhhhhhhhh just look at this bundle of darling!! Some people are just heartless. Here's living proof. (I must share this with DD for sure.)
So glad to know she has a marvelous "interim" home ... very lucky so far.
(((hugs)))
Posted by: Bev Gerard * TexasGrammy | May 27, 2012 at 02:39 PM
Some people never cease to amaze me...in a bad way! URGGHHH!! But thank goodness there are good folks to take in this darling girl. I'll spread the word and hopefully you'll find a forever home for this darling pup. Thanks Anna and Alan for your big hearts filled with kindness toward the critters of the world!

Oh My Goodness, she is too adorable. My son is looking for another dog as his Brit is at least 14 and showing signs of his very old age. I think they want a hunting dog, but this little one would steal a heart. How could anyone just dump her? I do not think you will have any trouble finding her a home. She seems really sweet. ( If she doesn't go soon, I see another dog at your place! ) Good Luck, hugs....
Posted by: Carol Dee | May 27, 2012 at 02:14 PM
I so admire you for all that you do to help stray and dumped animals find the happiness that they deserve. You are pretty amazing Anna.
Posted by: Barbara | May 27, 2012 at 02:06 PM
She is adorable and cute :-) I am not able to understand how people can be so thoughtless and leave a puppy (or kitty or other animal) like that. I would have had bad conscience and nightmares the rest of mye life, if I had done something like that! Anyway, she was lucky that Alan found her, and that you take care of her and try to find her a good home. She deserve a good home and people who love her. Good Luck :-)
Posted by: RitaK | May 27, 2012 at 01:46 PM
Would take her in a heartbeat if we were out there! She is darling!
Posted by: Val | May 27, 2012 at 01:31 PM
Best of luck finding her a home! I won't write out what what I wish for the jerks that dumped her.
