This gal is a survivor. She obviously has the will and the spirit to live. We hope someone out there can help. Please spread the word.

Hello everyone,

I am sending this with the hope that someone can help this poor starved little girl.I saw this frightened little girl on my drive home today and could do nothing but leave her a lot of wet food –she scarfed it down as soon as I  was out-of-sight– and some water to drink and heartfelt wishes to be safe until someone could help her.

She is definitely not one of the regular strays that I feed and that hangs out in the neighborhood;  so I know that she must have been dumped. Her missing front leg seems to have been calcified in the wrong direction for a wild from what it looks like. Unfortunately at this time, I cannot take her in, as much as it kills me to know her on the street, scared and in strange surroundings.

We are still taking care of Izzy, the pregnant pittie who was dumped in the same neighborhood a few months ago and whom we are still trying to place.  Also, I do not have any donation to give to help with this poor doggie –I am stretched beyond limit financially with all the strays I have helped rescue since January. PLEASE, PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE COME FORWARD TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL? So many rescues came forward to help the 2-legged Chi dumped in Katy –can someone help this sweetie too? Please forward to everyone you know.

I will gladly trap and transport if any rescue can help.

My phone number is (713) 927-3985.

I have passed this along to several Rescues and Rescue Networks in Texas, to see if someone can help Estelle get this girl off the streets and get her the help she needs.

There is a Facebook page for dog now named Trio. Three rescues stepped up (Yay!) but the dog needs to be found.

Yes, it blew up on FB!

Problem now is that she can't be found. Maybe she belonged to someone and has since been found or went home.

There are a LOT of people looking for her though, and a Rescue has already stepped up to take her in, along with a foster to care for her.

Hoping for a happy, or hoppy ending :)

Trio was relinquished to "Scouts Honor" rescue and is on her way to a vet's office 1 hour ago!  Hopefully this poor dog will find the home it deserves.  :)
