Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Brought home a land shark

The local animal control office had a post on FB saying they were over-capacity, asking folks to please stop bringing in more animals, as it meant the older dogs were having to be put down.


They had pictures of course, and they hooked me.








Went by the next day and picked up Charlie girl. Like so many at the dog pound, she's got some Staff/Pit blood in her, so be praying she doesn't eat us all in our sleep.





Taking her to the vet today to get a checkup and all the meds. Bet she goes about 37lbs.




She's young, but untrained. Been a while since I've had to work with one that's not a puppy and creating good habits are likely going to be tougher. Guessing she had a family at some point, as she loves all people and won't sleep if she thinks she's alone. Had to put a kennel next to the bed, and then she happily sleeps the whole night. It's about like bringing home another kid.

I suppose I must have needed another exercise in patience.....

Good looking dog.

God bless you for adopting her.

Just don't reach for the milk bone box and you'll arrive home intact.

Can I have your guns?

Every since the first puppy wormed it's way into your heart--------------------Your a dog lover for life.

Plus the more I'm around my dog the less I like people.

Roger that to both the above comments.

Glad you adopted.

My fur friends are adopted/rescues as well. When they pass, I might be done for a while but if I'm not - adopt/rescue and look for older dogs/cats that others don't want. Best ones to get.

I have a female Pit Bull rescue that looks a bit like her. I picked her up, wounded, on the side of the road. She has been a great dog and everyone that knows her loves her. Even some of the anti Pit Bull folks in the family. She has a way of winning folks over. Good luck and have fun with your new pup! Keep us posted on her progress.

Will put you first in line...


Our other two dogs were give-aways as well. One was from a shelter as a little pup and one came from my dad's un-spayed female yard dog getting knocked up. This new girl is a bit high-energy for them, but they're coming around. That'll be part of the challenge in integrating a new member to the clan.

My two came a bit that way. One from the Puppies for Parole locally and one a rehome from the Grandson. Both are deep into my heart. Ya done good JPro. Be well, RZ.

One born every minute.

LOL

Haha. Good move, JPro.

JPro you are a good man !!

That does seem to be a thing.......

Living on the EDGE! Good Times.

You might be surprised at how much she appreciates what you've done for her, She'll show you, that's what pits do.

I said the same thing. Multiple times.... lol

Nice dog, enjoy her!
