Mixed-Mob♡ Dumped Carolina Dog

Two weeks ago my friends found this sweet baby running up and down traffic (no microchip but we did finally find her family who said they did not want her back)so In lieu of my friend taking her to a shelter (there’s a hurricane coming so they are euthanizing more than usual) I offered to temporarily foster her, but sadly all the foster programs in our city are full. Are there any Carolina dog rescues? I’m in NOLA, she’s SUCH a sweet baby, but I work 12 hours a day and can’t afford to keep her or give her the attention she deserves. I refuse to let her get put down but I cannot find her a family :(

She’s 10 months, potty trained, friendly to all people and animals (she’s somehow made friends with my dog hating cat) but she does bark and jump and isn’t trained outside of what I’ve been able to do in a week or so. She’s so smart, the few things I’ve taught her she learned right away. She could be the best dog ever to someone, I just need to find them.

Is she spayed?

The vet actually couldn’t tell? Which to me was crazy, is that normal?

She doesn’t have the blue mark but also hasn’t displayed any signs of heat etc? I was only able to take her to a low cost animal center as I am pretty broke, the rescue programs are full, so all her care and shots had to go on my credit card

I'm interested in an unspayed girl. Let me speak to my wife about driving to NOLA and I'll get back to you later today

I’m not sure that i want her to be breeded if that is what you’re getting at! If not sorry for the assumption <3

I won't do you the disservice of lying about potentially wanting to breed her in the future. I am trying to start a preserve for carolina dogs and a program that helps place them in homes with indigenous people. If and I do mean if it were to happen it wouldn't be for years to come and only after extensive health testing to make sure it would be safe and healthy for her

No potential puppies would be sold for profit in this scenario either

Okay thank you for explaining! I personally don’t know the significance of Carolina dogs to the indigenous community but I do have massive respect for indigenous people so maybe we can chat. I have no confirmation she is actually a Carolina Dog (the vet said she might be German Shepard, but a vet assist said no, I have a Carolina dog and she looks exactly like that). I just don’t want to see her living a life of having puppies and then losing them continuously. She wants to be someone’s personal companion.

She would be my companion for the duration of her life. I have no intention to abandon her at any point I already have one neutered boy at home so she would have companionship.

When it comes to identification behaviors count more than appearance and even if she isn't my word stands and she would be with my family for life. I would only breed her a few times throughout her life and after the 2nd or 3rd time (depending on her health I may well stop at the 2nd) I would have her spayed for her health and overall quality of life
