crazyboy 13 Posted November 13, 2011 Good evening all, I found a female EP this evening at Colliers Mills. She came running up to me near the dog training area/power lines, she drank a full bottle of water and stayed with me. I brought her home and she wolfed down a bowl of food. She is black & white, looks to be roughly 8-10 years old if I had to guess. She had no tags on her, only a green ecollar collar minus the ecollar unit. If this is your dog please contact me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted November 13, 2011 You might want to stop by a vet or an animal hospital to see if she is chipped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Figured the more exposure the better. The fact its older and had no tags worries me though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob La 1 Posted November 15, 2011 I hate to say it but I think she was dumped by a scumb*ag. I've found dogs, sometimes old and crippled and once a few puppies while surveying in the Garden State. Sometimes its a skeleton so far off a road that you know they weren't hit by a car but were abandoned pets. I'm amazed how cruel people can be to an animal. Sorry for venting, but anyone who lost a hunting dog would have come forward by now. You don't get back in your truck wondering where your dog went.

You don't get back in your truck wondering where your dog went. i agree, but you try not to think that at first. by looking at her she appears to have been missing before the start of the season.. Has she put on any weight since you had her in your possesion? That was one of my ideas, but I also have the idea that she was mistreated and then left on the opener. It was late in the day and I'd like to think someone else would've scooped her up if she had been there all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob La 1 Posted November 15, 2011 How is it we would all complain about anyone or anything that pretty much just eats and sleeps all day..... unless it has four legs and and tail? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Bry - I think she was dumped. My shelter pointer was found tied to the shelter fence and was skinnier than the one posted in these photos.

crazyboy 13 Posted November 15, 2011 Tony, forgot to mention she appears to have put on weight already visibly. She is also acting much better and happier, shes headed to the vet tomorrow to get checked out. I have spoke to fish and game, pd, and the local shelters and no one had reports of a missing dog. I know that would be the first place I would call if I lost mine. Either way I left all of them my info. I hate to see animals like this. :icon_neutral: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That will teach you to smile at strange dogs at Colliers Mills. ; ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted November 15, 2011 It sounds like you are not going to find an owner to claim her at this point. I think you have a new dog. Good for you on rescuing her. Do you want to keep her or give her away? Do you think she can/will catch and kill cats and skunks? She seems pretty damn old and beat up. The kind of dog that will kick a** as a pet but cost a lot of vet money and then die in a year or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unsure, may have a family member interested in a pet if I don't find anyone. Think I need to let time play it out. I'm afraid of that happening with her being an older dog.

axeman_g 128 Posted November 15, 2011 Because most rescues will not take animals from individuals only shelters. Most shelters will inly take animals from animal control or Leo. Keeps dump offs down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyboy 13 Posted November 17, 2011 Scum, they walk among us. I had her to the vet, and aside from needing some dental work she seems to be healthy aside from the usual stuff for her age. Does anyone happen to have a 36" dog crate they are looking to sell? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfy 51 Posted November 17, 2011 I will never understand how someone can hurt a defenseless animal. They don't deserve to breathe. My last two cats were both shelter cats. They are were 2+yrs of age one with a bad eye and the other liked to bite. I told the lady while filling out the paperwork how he "bit" me. I told her I was taking him because of that and would train him not to bite. He is a 13 lb big boy and he could bite down on my index finger and not leave a mark. He now rarely bites and is a bigger marshmallow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
