Almost two weeks ago, a pit/lab mix puppy was tied to a tree with a cable cord and rope to a tree in Winnona Park, and left in the middle of the night. The neighborhood prevented him from being picked up by Animal Control, because he would certainly be euthanized. We have been taking care of the pup, who is really sweet and loving, but can no longer foster him because our sweet family cat will not return home with him here. I really need help finding this pup a foster or permanent home. With the help of neighbors and AUDI organization, I have been able to get him fully vetted and neutered. Please Help by getting the word out about this pup!! He has scars on his leg from most likely being hit by a car, according to the vet, and is in need of lots of love. I don’t know his history, but I would guess he was neglected. Considering all he’s probably been through, I am surprised by how loving he is.

This isn’t Decatur specific, but I figured some of you might be able to help this pooch.  From Frogs to Dogs Facebook page…

One of our clients who happens to be an Atlanta Police Officer has asked me to post this dog.

Hi Everyone,

This is Nash. She doesn’t know that though. She was left at an abandoned vacant house in SW Atlanta (at the corners of Bolton Rd and Nash Rd) almost two months ago and has taken to the property, never leaving it. Rumor has it that she was good friends with a dog that had lived there but the tenants took their dogs and left her. Police and neighbor’s have put down food and water and she sleeps on the below steps huddled up in a ball. She is very sweet and will take treats out of your hand and even give you a quick hand kiss. She is a Rottie mixed with Shepherd I believe and is under a year. She was emaciated when we first had contact with her but she is being fed regularly and is looking much better.

The problem you ask? The owner of the property is now rehabbing it and has put up for rent signs. He has painters over there every day. I spoke to one of them yesterday and he said that the owner wants to call the “pound”. The painters won’t do it as she is so sweet and stays to herself. The neighbor’s don’t want FCAC (Fulton County Animal Control) to pick her up either. I don’t think there is a lot of time before he gets tenants in. I have a full house or I would welcome her in. I am hoping that everyone can PLEASE forward this on and maybe someone would want her. I will cover all her vet expenses (shots, fixed, flea and heart worm preventative, etc). My phone number is 404-217-1168. This dog is a SURVIVOR and deserves a loving home. PS I have seen her around a stray cat on the property and she has no problems with it.
