It happened, again!!
 

OK. Some of you know I am a full time pet sitter so I am ALWAYS coming in contact with people with animals. Some wonderful and others, not so great. Well, Friday I was innocently making my morning coffee run to starbucks. Low and behold, a pickup with a sign "FREE". It was raining and about 40 degrees. I park my car and get out, walk towards the truck and there is a large crate with 7 boxer puppies.

I couldnt stand it. I took 2 of them and I wanted to take them all but I knew I had to work a few hours and they would be in crate in my back seat. (I always have a way to transport animals) haha

Well, I started a thread on facebook and my friends started coming out of the wood work for them. The person that wanted the fawn girl backed out and in the mean time my Dad fell in love with her. So, she will stay in the family.

The Yorkies loved them so much. They played so hard!! My Vet says they appear healthy and they got their first shot.

I just cant stand things like this!!

White girl went to a long time friend. She named her Lola.

My friend came in for a visit and her 1 year old daughter loved Penny. It was her first encounter with a dog. :) So cute! And Penny was so sweet!

Awwwwwwwww what a sweet thing to do. They are just adorable too. Im so glad they now have loving families............

Aw! They are sooooooo Cute!

Awe cute cute glad you found them a nice home!

OMG they are so cute!! I can't believe somebody was giving them away. I hope the rest of the pups find safe forever homes and wonderul parents too. It pays to carry a crate in the trunk although my hubby took mine away (temporary) when I brought home a baby racoon that had a jar stuck on it's head.

Awwwww you are so sweet!!! I'm shocked that someone was just dumping them off on anyone that wants them. I wish you lived closer as my friend just lost his boxer in December. Bless you for making a huge difference in this little ones lives!!!!

I know. The man was really nice. BUT irresponsible for letting this happend. He showed me pics of the sire & dam. He said the usual, "I thought we had more time", "this wasnt supposed to happen", "they are getting neutered next week."

I tried to educate him as best as I could. I explained that passing them out in a parking lot would not guarantee a good home. I went back an hour and a half later & he was gone. Not sure if he gave them all away or if he kept them. I did give him my business card hoping that he would call me if he needed me in finding them homes. But, I havent heard anything. Atleast I know these 2 will be loved & wont end up in a shelter.

Your exactly right! Seems most people are quick to scoop up a puppy, but when that puppy grows up they turn them into a shelter as the cuteness has worn off. It's so sad but true. Thank you for not letting that happen to these little babies! Great big:hug:

Im SO happy there are good people like you in this world! :D they are so cute and im very happy they fund loving homes.:thumbup:

OMGAWD! That 3rd pic of Penny & your friends little girl is just soooo precious.
Glad that at least 2 of those pups got good homes & hurray for you on trying to educate folks you run into.
We met a lady with a 3 lb 1 1/2 yo mini chi yesterday & she commented how she can't wait to breed her so she could have cute little puppies everywhere :eek: Suffice it to say after a few minute chat she was definitely rethinking her plans for the dog. ;)

They are so cute. Great that you found three of them good homes. Sounds like you could have gathered up enough friends and family to give them all good homes. Good for you you did a great thing for them

That is great you took the 2 cuties. Hopefully more people like you saw his sign and they all got homes.

I have felt guilty cause I have thought, "I shoulda taken them all." But, I was thinking about going to work, not to mention how crazy that would be with 7 boxer puppies. I do hope others who truly care got them and will take good care of them.

:love:Bless your heart for helping find your two good homes.

It is so sad to think about the irresponsibility that many have with thier pets. However, I know better than anyone, no one is perfect and people make mistakes:rolleyes: (With furkids and skinkids.) I really hope he follows through on what he told you about getting them spayed/neutered.:thumbup:

I can't even go look anymore when I see that scene.:(

I also *hope* they went to good homes where they will be taken care of and enjoyed as spayed/neutered family PETS. :DWe can always hope...right?

I know. My Mom said, "Dana you realize that you cant do this all the time, you will run out of friends and homes." I just wish people would neuter and spay. I AM glad however he did not try to profit from them by putting on a classified, craigslist etc.

Oh me too! :thumbup:That does give me some hope that maybe he will 'fix' his
pets.
LOL at what your mom said. I am guilty of finding pups/kittens near our home and recruiting friends and family to home them.:)

Those are lucky pups, you have done a wonderful thing finding them a good home!

I know you don't ant to steal the limelight Wendy, but, you gotta tell us what happened to the racoon with the jar on his head??? :D:D:D

BTW, Baxter's Mommy, I think you did a terrific thing bringing those pups home and making sure they got good forever homes. The pic of the pup with your friends daughter is really cute!!

Oh my stars!! What beautiful little pups. I would have been tempted to take one or two too. Glad the ones you took found homes. Aren't you glad your dad took one so you can see how it grows up :) I love the one with the patch around its eye..so sweet.

I will actually get to see both of them grown up!! Because one of my best friends took the white one! They are both gorgeous & so smart! I am very excited. My Dad instantly fell in love!! He had been wanting a dog, he loves her so much, already!

They are so adorable! It amazes me that people just give them a way on the road like that! So glad you found loving homes for those cuties!

the are precious! love the picture with the little girl. That is definitely a kodak moment. :) You are an angel for rescuing the 2 you did. :) Hopefully the other 5 found such good homes as well.

They are so cute! They white one reminds of my brothers american bulldog.

LMBO! That is hilarious! Thanks for my first laugh of the day! :)

I can't believe I missed this thread yesterday!
You gave those puppies a chance at survival ...you're awesome!! :)

So, my Dad changed her name. He decided on Roxy Rouge! hahaha
The vet did xrays and blood work. She has an umbilical hernia. The Vet told me it was no big deal, he would repair it when he spays her in about 4 months. She is such a good puppy! My Dad called me this morning telling stories! I am so happy he has her!

I had no clue what this was...but apparently it happens.
Umbilical Hernia in Dogs

Oh your Dad has a gem! They are so adorable.
