Pei Pei, Rescued And Happy
A sad story, but one that Catwoman Catera wants to tell
Dated: 07/25/2007
Yesterday morning, while carpooling to work, we came upon a street with 3 puppies lying dead on the ground in the middle of the road. As we slowly maneuvered our way around them, (taking note to call animal control so they could be removed) we noticed a small, flea-bitten (part sharpei looking) puppy sitting next to its dead siblings. Shocked, we stopped, we just had to get the puppy out of the road and get it to the shelter! It was so scared, and obviously in shock, covered with fleas, ants, flies and sores, trying to stay near it's brothers and sisters. I can't believe how stupid people are!
Well, we took it home to clean it up, using flea shampoo and called animal control to pick up the rest.
We have too many animals, and so we got it ready to take to the shelter, we just KNEW it would be adopted, cute as it was! At the shelter, they said they couldn't take it in, being a small facility and that they had no veterinarian there, so they would most likely euthanize it. So, we took it to the city shelter, and right then, they classified it as a Pit-bull. (although it looks more like a sharpei, with it's wrinkles)
I wasn't aware that pit bulls are outlawed here, and when I called today to check on it, they informed me that they were going to have to euthanize it, since it was a pit-bull (not). Imagine, my desolation, I was heart-broken! I cried and became very depressed, seeing as that I had gone out of my way just to save this little puppy, and now it was going to be euthanized because of someone's interpretation of it's species!
Well, after crying my eyes out on the phone with my mother, she made many calls to the animal shelter and finally got someone to listen, and they said we could come pick it up as long as we said, "Oh, yes, it's ours, we made a mistake".. whatever to get it back!
!!!!!!! Well, jeez... we are justa zoo now, but I couldn't be happier.. he/she is going to the vet tomorrow, to make sure everything's ok, then we find a name.
The First three pictures came with this email.
So, say hello to our newest miracle!

Went to the vet today, ruled out the pit bull... SHE is part shar pei.. We named her Pei Pei.. poor lil' thing, she has 2 types of worms, mange, and a skin infection and was very dehydrated and wouldn't eat.. Now, a huge change from this morning, she's eating, she's running around and wagging her tail and I think she understands that peeing is done outside.. I hope .. :)
Pictures 4 to 6 came with this email

Remember how much younger she looked a week ago? Now that she's well fed, re-hydrated, and doing well on her antibiotics, she is so much healthier and has gained 3 lbs.!!
