PACK OF DOGS

Last night I was over at my friend’s house for dinner and as I was pulling out of the driveway to leave, I saw 4 dogs running loose. It seemed so out of place that I called and asked her if she’d seen them before.  She came outside and we decided they were strays. 

They were small German Shepherd mixes and all seemed pretty friendly except the mom. She stayed back by a tree, as if hiding.  Another neighbor came out with a big bag of food and while they were eating, my friend went to grab some of her collars and leashes. I almost caught one of the younger ones but I didn’t have the right kind of collar to just slip over his head and he got scared and ran away. 

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them anyway except my neighbor is out of town and has a 6 ft. fenced-in yard so I could leave them there for the night and he wouldn't care. He's a dog person. Getting them in the car would have been interesting.

The shelter was closed but I left a msg., even though they were full the other day when I was there. Then I called Lifehouse Rescue, a foster organization in Mt. Juliet.  She said she would help me try to place them and that she’s had a call on them before. 

I’m taking over some choke chains and leashes today and if they come back, we’re going feed them and try to catch them. I hope they come back so we can rescue them. I’ll also call the Shelter again to see if they can do anything to help.
