I hope this pup finds her good home free of ticks and fleas-maybe she picked those up while on her excursion. She is very cute! Thank you for all you did for her and her human(s).
Sweet Pea, Bloodhound with a great nose, can also pull a Houdini and loves to go on walk-about. So, I walk her the same route both at the beach and in Atlanta knowing that when she tires or gets thirsty, she'll pick up my scent and make her way home, always quite proud of herself! She wears baubles (I.E. tags) and is micro-chipped-she would never stay away very long unless someone decided to pick her up and keep her in their home for a bit.
I like to believe all people mean well with their animals, but that's not always the case. So, we rescue them, love them and find them good, loving homes when we can't find the owners. I used to work with Bloodhound Rescue and if we got one, we would call the owner (if we could locate them) and inquire as to whether or not they have a fence or even want the dog. You'd be surprised at some of the responses. Sweet Pea came to me as a runaway/throw away-whatever. Her humans in AL didn't have a fence (which is a cardinal sin with Bloodhounds) and stated they didn't want her any longer after the last litter was born. Puppy Mill!
I'd say I'm pretty danged lucky to have her.
Continue educating as you are with your posts! Hopefully, this girl will be sporting tags asap!
