May have found my new dog! - Pet forum for dogs cats and humans

I'm so excited!!! I mentioned a few months ago that I was thinking of adding a second dog to my family. I've been watching Petfinder since February for a young female Boston Terrier and one suddenly showed up yesterday! So I emailed them, telling them a little bit about Petey, Billy, and myself and they emailed me back today! I just filled out the adoption application, so now it's just a matter of waiting! I'm so nervous and excited!

She was found as a stray, so we have to wait until this Friday to see if anyone claims her. If not, then she can be adopted! She is being spayed next week, so won't be ready to go home until after June 7th. They just named her last week, so I would change her name to something else if I get her, not sure what yet.

Here she is:

And here is what I got back from the Rescue. They sound like wonderful people!

"Little Porsche is just a doll. you will fall in love with her for sure. I visited her at the shelter on sunday and she just laid in my lap.. happy as a clam.... and gave me a few kisses here and there. She definitely feels very happy and safe when with her human. The only thing you may have to work on is her confidence... i took her outside to potty and she didn't even want to move! I don't know if she maybe hasn't had a collar and leash on or what....but we now have her in a foster home so she can be back in a home environment and hopefully not so scared.. you know, the shelter if very scary for toy and small dogs... it's really sad! But she is a love and i would take her home if i didn't already have 3 dogs of my own~

So, here is the process if you would like to proceed with her... i've already had some inquiries but no apps yet! I have attached the application to fill out.... really just a technicality because obviously you would be a great home.

She can be claimed by her owner up until friday. If she is not claimed, i can call you satuday to let you know and we would ask that you put down $100 as a deposit. Can be check or credit card to hold her for you. This amount will be taken off your adoption fee if you do decide to adopt. We would have her spayed the following week and she would be ready thursday june 7th or saturday june 9th. During any of this time, we could schedule a meeting if you wanted to drive up to meet her to make sure or you could wait until she was ready so you don't have to make 2 trips.

Let me know if you have any questions... hope that she is exactly what you are looking for... she is a sweetie."

I emailed back to ask a few more questions, but she also told me that she is good with dogs, cats, and children (I wanted to make sure since I have nieces that visit!). She is housebroken already as well or at least is doing very well in her foster home so far! Not much is known about her background. They think she is around 8 months to one years old. She was found last week wandering the streets alone. :sad: Poor baby!

But her behavior and and the fact she's housebroken indicate she was in a house at some point in her little life. So we'll see what happens!!!

Sounds like I'll find out on Sat!

Good luck!

I hope you get her. She sounds like she needs a good home where she can feel secure, she is very stressed in the photos, poor thing! She's very cute though!!!!

AH! They just emailed me back again to let me know that they recieved two other applications for her tonight as well. So they will review them all and make their decision and let us know on Saturday. This is all also dependent on whether or not anyone claims her before then! So now it's REALLY a waiting game, even more so than before! I hope to be chosen, but am afraid I won't be because of my being single and working. But we'll see! Whatever happens, all that matters is that this little girl find the best home. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
