Is anyone missing this mama dog or recognize her? She was found yesterday 12/23 at 9am near Ferris and Palmetto. She is now in the Bellaire Pound. She is FULL of milk and obviously missing her newborn puppies. She is also extremely thin and absolutely just wants to be held by a human. She is smaller, about the size and build of a Corgi. HELP!! She needs to find her owner/puppies or be in a temporary foster home while we can find a permanent home for her! She is on the cold concrete floors outdoors in her pin and terrified, but VERY sweet. Please call BPD at 713-668-0487 with information about her owner, or email friendsofbellairepound@gmail.com to foster her. The Animal Control Officer is on vacation for another 1.5 weeks, and our pound is completely full, she needs help.
Update and Fundraiser for Emma 12/29/19: Mama ‘Emma’ never found her owner. Perhaps thankfully, as she was clearly failed by her humans. The vet reports that she was underfed and not cared for. Her large collar and ring suggest she was tied to a chain most of the time. Her puppies were not found, apparently taken from her too soon as she was dumped on the street and still lactating. In addition, the vet discovered that she is HW positive. While fully curable, many know the cost is very expensive. This will severely deter rescue groups we reach out to or potential adopters. Please help by donating to her HW treatment, so that she can be on a path to a better life. Please also email friendsofbellairepound@gmail.com if you would be interested in fostering her, however temporarily. She is sweet as can be, and even is starting to play as she gains her strength (perhaps thanks to a few hamburgers!). She is 2 years old, 48 pounds, now vaccinated, dewormed, and started on flea/tick prevention medications. A volunteer found her shivering in her pin in the windy rainy weather this morning, she really needs to get out of there!
