This is part of a letter that was sent to me yesterday: There is a pet German Shepherd that appears to have been dumped up at the Rialto Airport and I think that she has been running wild up there for some time. She had a litter of puppies under a concrete slab in the water reservoir. I spoke to a workman up there and they said that she has been begging for food. They have been giving her part of their lunch, but they are now done with the job there and would not be coming back. He also told me that there were 4 puppies total, because when they turned on the water flood controls, 3 of the puppies crawled out and they pulled the 4th one out. They then put the puppies back. The workman told me he does not know how often the water is released. The last time he saw it flood was a week or two ago. A few hours later when it was cooler, Ray and I went back with a flashlight and chow. After climbing down, I could only see 1 puppy under the slab along with the mother. She would not come out so I then left her some water and the food. The next afternoon I went back and climbed down and looked under the slab again and mom came out but ran from me up to the top of the water reservoir (which is fenced with a gate) where she watched me. She never growls or makes any aggressive moves; she is just scared to death and, of course, worries about her puppy. I looked under the slab where at this point I could see the puppy pretty good. It appears to be about 4-6 weeks old and looks like a purebred shepherd. One puppy still nursing and mom! I donâ??t know what happened to the other puppies, maybe the workman decided to take them after I left or a coyote may have gotten them. Anyway, what really concerns me is that the water reservoir automatically releases the water and floods the den where the pup is. I know I can get the puppy out but I donâ??t know if she would let me catch her and I donâ??t have a place you put them if I could. Do you know someone who could take them? Is there any local rescue groups? Thanks for any help, Kathleen Farmer (_kshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:kshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) ) If there is ANYONE out in the Rialto area that can help this dog and her baby, PLEASE contact me or Kathleen at the above email address. thanks, Diane Diane Silver-Strasser Silstra German Shepherds _Skatiebug'z_ (http://skatiebugz.shutterfly.com/) The online store for everything German Shepherd and then some! _http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com_ (http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com/) Skater's Blog ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2010.
