This afternoon I was in the desert with my girls looking for rattlesnakes and jackrabits to shoot. While driving by some scrub brush and catuses a big dog jumped up and ran to my truck. It startled me at first and I almost shot her. However, we were in the truck and protected so I didn't shoot. As I slowed down and the dog ran to my door a started to wag its tail. It then ran in front of the truck so I stopped so that I would not hit her.
The girls were bagging me not to shot it, so I said I would give her some water. It drank over 1 liter in about 90 seconds. The dog was thirsty and totally emaciated. You can see alot of its bones. It had a collar that had broken telephone cord wrapped around it. Kept wagging its tail the whole time, so I decide to throw her in the back of the truck. She was too tired to jump in but she walked up my motorcycle ramp.
The girls are happy, my wife is unhappy, the dog is happy. But I don't know what to do. Anyone have experience with animal rescue shelters? I would keep her but I don't thinks my wife would go for it. BTW, my brother said she looks exactlly like his brindle bull mastiff. And he says that is what I have. The dog is still young just extremely friendly but litterly skin and bones. It even wagged its tail when it was eating and didn't growl at me.
What do you all think I should do?
Animal rescue or keep her? I just don't want her to go to a shitty home, like her first one, but my wife say no to own home.
She is outside in the backyard. Drank more then a gallon of water. I fed her just a little bit of food because I did not want to shock her stomach.
