I do not own dachshunds. I have a small standard poodle and a 45lb doberman. Today my husband I were going to my in laws house and we stopped for gas. I looked out of the window and saw an adorable black and tan dachshund hunting for trash. Her breasts were very swollen and she appeared to still have her milk. She was afraid of me at first but after being patient and using some food to lure her in eventually she was licking and eating out of my hand and she started following me around. I talked to the gas station attendants and they said she was the pregnant stray in the area and that she came to beg for food everyday. This is a really bad area with a lot of traffic and abandoned retail sites. I wanted to take her with me, but I couldnt do it because I was worried about the puppies and my husband/mother wouldnt let me stay long enough to attempt to find them. There are a so many stray dogs in this area.
I am going to go back tomorrow to attempt to find her and the puppies, as apparently she hangs out in that area daily. Does anyone have any tips on finding a mom and puppies? I called a friend of mine who works at the humane society but she said that if they take her they will likely put her and/or babies down.
My plan for tomorrow is to show up with food and two dog carriers/blankets and attempt to find them. Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.
