Becky, I have to agree with you on this one. I too wish that more had been
done during the first week to find her owner. I would have been devastated
if my chi ever got lost, and had no idea where who could have taken her. 
Each state has different rules for shelters and the Humane Society. Robert
is not in FL.

I wish that More emphasis had been made on reuniting this lost dog with her
owner.  
I am surprised that Humane Society accepted her as a stray.  In Florida,
Humane Society will not take them as a stray, they must go to animal control
  I wonder if any effort will be made by that shelter to find her original
owner before adopting her out?  


So many times, dogs get out of the house or yard and end up this way.  And
if they are just adopted out to a new owner, an original owner most likely
will never find their dog.  Sad for the dog, who was really lost.

I am sorry - I find it very odd that this dog was "dumped" in front of your
home a week ago.  The, you finally post here yesterday morning, asking for
help.  A mere 6 hours later, you drop her at the humane society.  Why didn't
you post here a week ago?  We may have been able to find her a home if we
were given a week instead of less than 6 hours.  JMO.

  I  took her to the local animal shelter  the lady there was very nice and
confident she could find her  a home. the longer I  kept her the more
attached I would get and the harder  it  would be to  part with her. I  miss
her already   but at least  she's being cared for and fed. not  out  trying
to survive looking for food and dodging cars on the highway.  I know I made
my mom sound mean in previous posts, but she cooked meat for that dog  and
my Cody but said we couldn't keep and  clean up after 2 of them and didn't
want no harm coming to them but she was worried that I was getting too
attached to her. Robert 
Robert I enlarged her picture and it does not appear that she has had
puppies from looking at her tummy.  She looks like a well fed chi and hasn't
been a stray for
too long.  She belonged to someone Robert, even her nails are groomed and
she isn't that old either.  While I am trying to search out lost and found,
you need to help and do your part. Her owner would have no idea where she is
unless you ask neighbors and post signs all around your town and on main
street poles, and if you can hang them all around your closet streets, and a
local paper.

I'm trying to get my mom to give me more time.  we took her to a shelter in
the next town Mer Rouge,Louisiana this morning.   but they couldn't take her
 without permission from someone who wasn't there so we had to bring her
back home.  Robert

If she had dry dirt on her head then it sounds like she must have been
hiding somewhere with her puppies. Dogs love to hide under sun decks and
porches and crawl spaces.  Lots of people don't keep collars on their dogs,
so that doesn't mean anything.  You can still do all the other things that I
listed.  I beg you Robert don't let her be dropped off in the streets again.
....she cannot survive on her own!  Their is wildlife that could also get
her.  
 
Again, please email me privately and tell me what town and state you live in
and I will be better to help you find her a home since I do networking for
chis in shelters and lost and found.

Gezz Robert, I hope she didn't leave her puppies some where. Sometimes, when
a stray mother knows her puppies need to be weaned, she will leave them for
a while
seeking out food for them and herself, so it is possible she wasn't dumped
on you.  I hope you checked all around your property and under the house.
Also hope that 
you asked all of your neighbors if they lost a chi and posted signs that you
found one, and looked at the local papers in case anyone advertised that she
was lost.  You can even put an add in a local paper, but make sure that they
tell you something special about the dog to prove that she really belongs to
them. You wouldn't want someone who just takes any dogs and then sells them
to the PMs or Labs for testing or uses them for Bait dogs, or uses her as a
breeder.
 
Call your shelter and ask if anyone has lost a chi-mix.
Bring her to a Vet and ask them to check if she is microchipped. Most Vets
won't charge to do that for a stray. 
Check local papers if she is listed as lost.
Post Signs for a found small dog.
Place an ad in local papers for a found small dog.
 
There are web sites that list lost and found dogs: See if she is listed, if
not list her as being found
 
http://www.petamberalert.com/    click on ''View Lost dogs'' and also click
on ''Report Found Dog''

Call rescues to see if they can pick her up, if you don't get a response
from anyone looking for her.
 
She looks like a sweet little girl, perhaps you can convince your mother to
give you another couple of weeks to find her owners first. Most strays are
afraid of strangers, especially when they have puppies, so for her to be
that sweet and trusting shows she came from a home where she was spoiled
some what. 
 
What town, city and state do you live in?  I can find rescues in your state
to help you, and also help with searching for her owners. You can email me
privately if you want to.

Just one thing I  didn't need  a little half Chihuahua  dumped off here at
my house. she is grown  and I think she had puppies. she's very friendly and
sweet and loving  but I  can't keep her.  my 80 year old widowed mom lives
here too  she owns this house and won't let me have  more than one dog  so
what do I  do???  I  have grown really attached to her, it was one week
today I went outside and there she was in the yard tail wagging  and my
neutered male Cody wanted to get to know her. my mom is really putting
pressure on me  to get rid of her ASAP.  I'm afraid  if I  don't find  her a
home or a shelter  my mom will try to get me to take her off somewhere else 
and if I don't  do it she'll get one of my sisters to come  and take her off
and dump her else where.  so I'm in a real dilemma. here is a picture of the
 dog. I sort of started calling her "Daisy Mae"  Rob.
