Hunter_Rider~Kirby has a get well package on the way from my shelter dog Sully (Old English Bulldogge) and Petie, my wonderful pit bull I found after he got hit by a speeding car on the highway. My boys say a huge THANK YOU for all that you are doing for this little lost girl. She will never be without love or a home because of you! Give her a kiss from us!

Thanks for all the pictures and nice (long) updates. She is looking much happier. That's the best return on an investment I've received in a long time!

I Like Ponies- You don't have to send a thing- thank you for even considering doing that. Everyone has been so generous, her surgery was covered in full!! She felt very good last night before I left for work, she started playing with my other 2 dogs, running around after them! So I had to put her in the kennel so she would not tear her many stitches. Now she is finally acting how a puppy should act. She figured out tennis balls are really neat and started rolling them across the floor and chasing after it. It was really cute to watch. It's sad that at her age she was not exposed to toys and things normal puppies are exposed to, at say 8 weeks old. I gave her a sterilized bone- amd she looked at it for 10 minutes wondering what to do- then figured it was a neat thing to chew on. I guess she grew up "on the streets" and learned to survive on her own. One of the officers this morning told me he was trying to catch a dog last night that was running on the streets with a piece of chain link fenced wrapped around its' body-he was not sure if it was just caught on him, or if it was stuck into him,- he tried for over an hour and could not get near it. So somewhere in Portsmouth a dog is running with someones fence attached to it. Sometimes I really hate my job because I see some terrible things and too many cruel individuals. I just hope I never see another "Kirby" running with a wound of that nature.-and what is sadder is Animal Control can't spend a lot of money on vet bills to save an animal.Most of their money goes to food, shelter and salaries. If I had my own farm I would probably have every stray animal!"Oak Hill"

Hunter_Rider, you are a saint for helping her out the way you have. It breaks my heart to think of what would have happened to her if you hadn't have found her and invested so much time and caring.
Everyone in our end sends much much love and many wagging tails (I have 2 pound pups and my mom has two rescues of extremely abused dogs that we have spent years bringing back to "life")
Does Kirby have a home yet? I assume many have stepped up with loving homes -- but please please let us know if you are still looking. I'm up here near DC and would be more than happy to help!Comment

HR- You are a truly amazing person, and I am sure you have heard that enough in the past several days, but one more time couldn't hurt.
I wish there were more people like you in the world. I would love to help with Kirby and if there is anything you need don't hesitate to ask.
God Bless your kind soul.
Sending lots of LOFF to you and Kirby.

Just saw this topic--Kirby looks like an angel! And I'm thinking there's some Beagle in that mix!
We had a dog at my old hospital who was brought in after he had been set on fire. He was a stray as well, and the nicest, sweetest dog you would ever want to meet. The Maryland SPCA sponsored him, and we did all the work at cost--which included 5 debridement and skin graft surgeries, daily bandage changes, and a four-month stay in the hospital. I bawled like a baby the day he left with his new owners, but he did come back for visits. He even sent us a Christmas basket!
Bless you for helping Kirby!

That latest picture shows how she is adapting to kindness. Her whole facial expression is just more relaxed and happy, even though she'd tired.
What a blessing you, HR, and your wonderful vet are! Once more, thanks for giving all of us the chance to share in this, it is SO satisfying!!
Someone's going to be very lucky to get this cute little girl for their very own. If I didn't have a full house already (5 dogs, 4 are rescues), I'd be on my way to get her myself!

HR - It so great what you've done for Kirby. She's had some tough times for sure, but now she's one lucky little girl.
About the Concord puppies, I didn't notice this posted, but this news made it to my paper all the way out in CA - sounds like the found a serial killer in the makings?
Police say teen linked to torture of poodle
A Weare teenager was arrested Saturday in connection with the kidnapping and torture of a poodle last weekend, an incident authorities believe is related to the mutilation of three puppies Thursday in Concord.
Stephen Hess, 17, was charged with falsifying physical evidence, which authorities found at his home. Hess could face more charges as the investigation continues, according to Weare police.
Police didn't specify what evidence was found. Hess is being held on $10,000 cash bail and is scheduled to be arraigned on the felony charge Tuesday in Merrimack District Court.
That was the article. NHers, keep us updated!Comment

Hunter_Rider, I wonder if as time goes on and the stitches come out you will find that Kirby will be playing quite well with your Malinois. You may wind up with 3 dogs after all. I believe the ONLY reason you were really putting her up for adoption was that you thought your Malinois would be too rough for her. They KNOW she is a puppy and I bet they will all get along fine when she's off 'restrictions'.

I agree with Tiki.....
besides, once you have two big dogs, a third is not even an issue (I had two labs and added a rottie, and boy were they a happy pack!)

Well, I am off the next 3 nights!!! I took Kirby to the barn today, first time she ever saw a horse!!! Scared her at first and then she was just fine. She does not like to urinate in WET grass!! She held her urine for 16 hours, until the dew dried, and then she finally urinated!!! I came home at 5am, she did not want to walk in the dew, again at 8am, still too much dew, then finally at 11:45am she urinated!!She walks in the dew as though she has weights on her feet- does not like it at all. So I need to get her used to that. So far, no accidents in the house, I have had her here since Thursday and not one accident. She really wants to play and that is hard for me, because I am so afraid she is going to tear out the sutures, so I have to place her back in her crate, and she cries for 10 minutes and goes to sleep. Friday the sutures come out and will get some better pics. I think she has some yellow lab and maybe a beagle mix. At my barn they breed beagles, and that may be the cross- or Heinz57. What-ever it is she is a sweetheart. I received an email today from COTH and they want me to call them, they would like to do a story on her.So I will get up with them tomorrow."Oak Hill"

Can't wait to see more pictures. Even though we are technically not supposed to post too many dog threads on this board, it's nice to come to a place where everyone "gets it". In my real life, not everyone does. Aren't we so lucky to have our dogs in our lives? They are just the greatest!
Cherish every day with them. Abby the lab will be 15 in Dec. I know I am on borrowed time with her. I also know she has been loved every day of her life. We have had a wonderful 15 years together.
For all the "Kirbys" out there, please spay and neuter your pets, and support your shelters and rescue leagues.
Here's to Kirby.
