Well that's great, you are doing your part as well. Now tell me, if you believe the dog that you mentioned is no longer available, why did you just mention to Kids, it would be nice for her to go rescue it? You did that before, put out a message that a dog needed rescued asap, and when people asked about it, it had already been PTS before your alert. It breaks anyones heart that cares for animals not to be able to help them all.
SMD, Don't worry. KK does this stuff to me all the time, but trying to make me out to be some terrible person, all the while with undertones. I don't care. I do practice what I preach, with over 9 in my house now that were rescued or are currently fosters. I know I do my part.
However, I can't take any more in right now. It's not feasable running the mom I almost lost to the vet and having an infection I am keeping her isolated for.. it wouldn't be prudent of me to bring any more dogs in right now.
I guess the only other question is why KK doesn't bring the dog into her home. No room? A chihuahua only weighs 5-6lbs so it's not like it takes up a lot of room. I can even lend you a small crate for it KK. She's constantly on everyone else about rescue and foster. If there was a chi in the shelter, I don't know why she didn't PM me or email me. It's not like this is a big town and people can't locate me at the bank. We can't save them all, now can we KK?
I personally can sleep at night knowing I do as much as I can, both for my breed and for all of the dogs. But I do not believe that KK has the right to force everyone to have the same belief as her. And I don't shove my opinions down others' throats.
That being said, KK if you want to have a polite and productive conversation about how to best save the chihuahua in the shelter, I will be happy to do so. But do you think it's wise to bring in a dog right now when I have 6 puppies under 8 weeks of age that could potentially die from an infection from another dog? I personally don't. Neither does my vet. And of those 6, 4 are the orphaned pups I rescued and am raising that I invested over $400 in supplies, food and formula alone, in addition to sleepless nights, time and evergy and I am happy to do it. So, I don't think you can find ANYONE on here to agree with you that I don't do my part.
And KK, in the same last 9 years, I have fostered or rescued plenty of animals too. It's not a pissing contest. But if you want to go head to head, this isn't the place for it. You can PM me and we can do so.
Back to the original post that I wanted to share my prides and joy after my heartache with others by showing you my new chihuahua babies. They have reached a week of age tonight and seem to be doing better. They started gaining weight and mom today is finally eating on her own. She's loving getting moist food and it's nice not to have to syringe feed her every hour like I was before.

I have a new foster now. I got her over the weekend, and she is a total sweetheart.
