Just adopted a stray dog

Recommended Posts

It's a Pit/Boston Terrier mix. It was a stray...the shelter said they were going to put it to sleep since it was part Pit Bull, according to the woman that found it and nursed it back to health. Still missing a bunch of its coat, and it was horribly malnourished...even after the woman fed him for two weeks, you can still see his ribs, it's pitiful...but man the dog stole my heart.

 

He's about 2-3 years old according to the vets estimates. I named him Bogey.

 

So that makes dog #3. I am going to start a rescue shelter for dogs, especially pits (since they get put to sleep almost automatically) once I get the money coming in. I don't care how much it costs. I am doing what I can now, but it's tough fitting three dogs into one house especially when one's a GSD. haha

 

Just brought him home a couple hours ago, so I am pretty excited.

Very nice Reaver. I, too, have 2 rescue dogs and used to volunteer with a rescue organization when I was in Indiana. My neighbor here has a puppy pit, named Hooch. oh man, this dog is absolutely adorable and is STRONG!! He chewed through a thick metal rope one morning to come and visit my dogs. The owner leaves him outside all day long while he's at work....in the rain, in the sun, in the cold....well, cold so far. It's the guys first dog I think and I just realllllly hope he doesn't leave the dog outside in the winter.

 

I started a new company recently, too, making organic dog treats from locally sourced (as local as I can get anyways) ingredients. Gonna be making a few hundred today to have a big Halloween marketing blitz around here.

Good work mate. I'm gonna get my Dobermann soon, I can't wait.

 

Do you have breed specific legislation (BSL) in the USA? Over here in Aus they are introducing BSL which is really worrying. In my home state, they want to ban the breeding of dogs which have any possibility of passing on genetic defects such as VwD. That will rule out breeds such as my beloved Dobermann's, Rotweiller's etc..

 

Some woman was recently bitten by a Rottie last week in Perth and now more calls are being put out to ban more breeds. Currently in Victoria American Pit Bulls are banned....Blame the owners not the breed I reckon! I hate it how politicians are quick to pass knee jerk legislation in relation to dogs.

Good to hear Reav! I'm a dog lover as well and it's nice to see a fellow TL member taking such a strong interest!

 

Good luck with your new friend.

 

Yeah I am pretty psyched. Poor thing was out on its own for who knows how long. Skinny as a rail. But he's living the good life now! Hope to be able to do more one of these days.

Hey man that sounds good, I'd like to hear more about it. If it's going to be internet based or anything like that, I'd be happy with doing some grassroots advertising for you man. I'd post up some ads here and there and tell people I know about it. Just something to help out. Not to mention, I'd place a few orders myself. Yeah if that guy leaves the dog out in the winter, you may have to take steps....we should hog tie him and stick him a meatlocker for a few days with some kibbles to eat. That'll make him do some more in depth contemplation next time. LOL

 

Good luck with the business, get back to me about it!

Yeah not aware of anything like that so far, but things change so fast here in the States, who knows what'll happen in the near future....

 

Glad to hear about your new puppy on the way Nick! Dogs are awesome! I've always liked Dobermanns.

Here's a great story for you Reaver.

 

http://www.cairnspost.com.au/article/2007/10/31/4400_news.html

 

The Dobe was adopted a week ago by a family and then saved the little girl's life from a King Brown snake (3rd most deadly in the world) by picking her up by the back of her nappy and throwing her aside before being bitten itself.

 

Karma at work right there! Save a dog, dog saves you!

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
