I feel like I've been out of touch for a while, and I have been. I've had lots of rescue work to do recently. We have had 4 new dogs here since I last wrote.
We rescued a mommy dog in the desert near the border of Mexico in the Nogales area.
We have a kind hearted volunteer who brings up animals frequently for us. She is a Sheriff's deputy and she spends off hours finding places for all the animals she finds out there.
Anyway, that week she brought us Pixie, a darling but depleted little Shepherd mix. She looks like a miniature German Shepherd, but she has a stumpy tail.
She was skin and bones and scars, but her pup was fat and sassy. He looked like a little Chow. His name is Gunther. Just full of P*ss and vinegar, that little one.
Pixie had a bad case of worms, it really freaked me out when I saw it. She's been treated, and she is fine now. She's warm and loving and completely housetrained.
I just can't imagine how she ended up with a pup, dumped in the desert to fend for herself. She had tape worms, which is a sign she'd been living off of birds and rabbits she caught herself out there. Breaks your heart.
Gunther is adopted, and hopefully Pixie will be finding her forever home soon.
