SOMONE dumped this beautiful girl
This morning, my community Facebook page started to blow up with a report that some dog was loose, chasing children, etc. At first, I thought it was my 4yo female Pitty, so while I was at work I checked my security cameras and saw this poor dog chillin in my driveway. Some reasonable people, including a family member came over and took control of her. She was chubby, but definitely weak, dehydrated, and seemingly post-natal by a couple of weeks. Some people swear they’ve seen this dog around loose for atleast 24 hours, but I think she was dumped well before that based on smell and the state of how we found her. She also limps slightly on her hind legs and is a little lethargic
I left work and took her to a rescue. The chip came back no info, but I already had it in my mind I would watch over her for a while. After a quick checkup, I brought her home and she warmed up to me immediately.
Now, my Pitty. Cautious but ok. The Rottie, also cautious but ok. They are separated and the Rottie has an entire spare suite to herself while she gets acclimated. There was a slight show of resource guarding while I was setting up a crate and (my fault) forgot I left food out for my dog earlier today. Nothing beyond some barking and teeth showing.
I have no experience with this breed. I’m doing as much research as I can. Any warning signs I need to look out for. Anyone with experience with abandoned rotties or socializing with pitties?
