you found a rescue group, and if they are unable to keep her they will most likely have a very good network of other rescues to pull from to find the right group to help her. You know in your heart that a dog left outside 24/7 will become sadder and sadder, never mind the cold and being harrased by males while she's in heat.

when she first came home

And maybe the owner would agree to move her into a garage or shed to give her more protection for the winter.

just curious about that

I thought they were all no kill shelters
but guess I was wrong
sorry for the misinformation..

We hope everything works out for this poor girl!! You did the best that you could for her and you don't need to beat yourself up over it. You have been wonderful to her! Hugs to your babies and BIG smooches to PollyAnna's Ace!

Bulldogs...its an obsession!

maybe you could kep in touch with this lady and tell her if she has any problems or reservations about this little girl to please call you before she does anything else, that way tyou would have first chance at gtting her back if need be. please dont ever think that you did not do enough, because you did everything right.

spca in cqanada kill too, they only have so much time to place a dog and if not unfortunatly they kill them, that girl needs to go to a breed related rescue group

came to get her would, in my opinion, never harm her in any way...it's just that I felt so awefull that she seemed too much trouble...heck, aren't all rescues a little trouble...they all need vet attention don't they?...I've offered to get her back and try again

well that is not likely an option then
what a boton rescue group
since the dog is part boston
I worked with boston rescue years ago and they are pretty good about their rescues..
just a thought
and some of them were part pit too.
could do a search on the internet for a boston rescue group near you

Ifyou cannot place her safely, and cannot keep her, speak with the former owner and see if he will agree to have her spayed (get info on a subsidized program most county shelters have available for low-income homes) and return her to where she was given love and care. Its difficult enough to cope with cold for a healthy dog, but one who is vulnerable to being bred again and the stress of carrying a liter in the winter might be enough to undo her...so if you can make some progress in her life with a spay, that may be all you are able to accomplish here.

Please do not take her to the spca--don't know how they are in NC but in NY they are a kill shelter. When my kids were little we went and found a beautiful husky that the kids fell in love with. We were waiting for quite a while for them to bring her out and when I finally asked what was wrong.they told me they put her to sleep because she was in heat! Needless to say we were all devistated.

you helped a girl that could not help herself, speak to your hubby about taking her back, or go see if she is ok, where did she end up??? can you contact them ?

dont ever feel bad about helping an animal, you did more than most people ever would.

can she be rehomed through an spca type of place there.
wander if that type of shelter setup is best..
they do a good job of rehoming animals..
YOU tried your best..what else can you do...
kuddo to you for trying..
