We have a food and water station set where we initially saw this pooch last month, and last week. However, we did locate him this evening, and he was quite a few blocks from our food/water station. The elderly man who shares the lot where the shepard was informed us that he sleeps most nights under his truck. "He runs," he repeated. "We all try to help him."
Our next step is to set a trap. He has a lot of wounds and walks with a limp.

We are grateful to @incredibullstella for her persistence in assisting to help with this outside only, pregnant gal. As previously mentioned in a prior post, Poverty's Pets had been working with the owner, and we had a spay lined up for her. It was at that time when the veterinarian realized the young dog needed further testing. Blood work revealed that she had a severe case of tick fever. Unfortunately, as she lives under the carport with an unaltered male, she became pregnant for a third (and final) time. The good news? She is in wonderful hands with @incredibullstella, and we are awaiting to hear back from @almostthererescue in hopes of landing her their mutternity. It has been a good week for this little gal, named Frances. She loves the pampering, the soft beds, and the air conditioning. Thank you, @incredibullstella!

We spoke to the owner of three of the dogs. He is willing to get them sterilized. He claims the other three dogs that come and go are not his. The sweet mama brindle is his and "she keeps having puppies," so he says. We will make arrangements to get them all fixed with proper aftercare. We did confirm that the large shepard/husky pup is one of Maya's pups. We removed Maya and two of the three remaining puppies this summer from deplorable living conditions. At that time, the owner told us, "I want him" and now, apparently, he is a stray.

We were able to talk to a few people who feed the dogs. We are going to arrange to get these dogs sterilized.

Our friends @thetheodoreaz will be collecting pet related donations for us until the end of the year. We sincerely appreciate them for thinking of our little grass roots organization. What we can’t use, we will pay forward at our community spay and neuter clinic. They also have many tasty beers you can enjoy there or take home.
Another day in Phoenix, AZ... just a stone throw from our State Capital, where our lawmakers turn a blind eye to our pet over-population crisis. Passing out flyers for our upcoming spay and neuter clinic, we are literally tripping over free roaming dogs. We need, as a community, focus on where the animals are coming from

We have reached out to our rescue partner, @harttaz, to see if they can help. The free roaming dogs, many owned throughout our underserved neighborhoods, is a community issue. The focus needs to be on prevention. It is as if there is a gigantic hole in the ceiling, and we are frantically mopping the floors and moving buckets. We need to fix the roof.
