‼️SWEET PUP ALERT, LONG POST BUT WORTH THE READ ‼️
This little girl was found last night roaming at the gas station/Dairy Queen on Mattis & Olympian. Incredibly sweet, calm, and essentially begging for attention and food/water. We took her in for the night, gave her some pup grub and fresh water and planned to keep her in our heated garage until morning. She was so thankful 🥺 Naturally Vince immediately offered to sleep out there with her to comfort her so he grabbed our air mattress and they had a little movie night 😂 she did AMAZING and snuggled close all night not once getting up or having any accidents.
This morning we took her to our vet to have her scanned for a chip (Shout out to Harvest Valley Veterinary Services!!) To our surprise she had one!! We were so hopeful we could reunite her with her family! What we found out was that her name is Fergie and she’s assumed to be about 6 years old. The unfortunate part is she was registered to an address in Chicago with a disconnected phone number. Being a pit bull with a Chicago address and finding her at an off the interstate truck stop area is not promising 😔 We also found a lump inside her back legs that appears to be a mammatory tumor. We don’t know for sure but that’s what it looked like upon initial inspection. We can only assume she was brought up here and dumped due to lack of wanting to treat her. We don’t know for sure and I hope I’m wrong but all signs seem to point to that.
She is currently happy and comfortable at our house and is welcome to stay for a little bit while we search for her family. Unfortunately as much as we would love to keep her it’s just not in the cards for us. So after a few days she will officially be on the hunt for a new family 😍 If you or anyone you know is looking for the sweetest, most loving, biggest cuddle bug of a dog you’ll ever meet…send them our way! She’s met our 4 year old son and was very gentle and calm with him, and she didn’t seem reactive to other dogs in the lobby at the vet either. We’ve only had her for about 12 hours so we don’t know much but we want to help her! Please please share this post so we can either reunite her with her previous family or find her a new loving one! This little girl has been through a lot and she deserves it! 🙏🏼
Bonus: If she does go to a new home, ShamPooches will give her free spa days for a whole year 😍😍
