Trying to rescue an unwanted dog

I am asking for prayers for my family to be able to rescue this unwanted dog. She was used for breeding and now that she can no longer produce viable puppies they are selling her off. My family wants her, we already love her. Our concern is her health as we do not have the resources to take on a long term ill dog. But we want her to spend the rest of her life knowing what love feels like. Please pray it goes smoothly and we are able to acquire her. We were heartbroken when we realized she was nothing more than a way to make someone money. Please pray she still has her health and that we are able to bring her home with us. Thank you.

I realize this is not as important as many of the needed prayers in here but the way this happened, the way I found out about this I cannot help but believe God led me to find out about this. Too many unusual coincidences to think otherwise. God cares for all his creatures.

Thanks to you all for your prayers and to the people who read this, prayed but did not make yourself known. All prayers appreciated. The situation with this animal has affected me deeply and even these prayers brings tears to my eyes knowing people care about this precious dog they do not know. I have some anxiety and it will probably remain until she is safe in our arms. Thank you so much for your loving kindness.

No I am in the USA. We will be getting her tomorrow evening 5:30 pm PST. I pray her health is not bad. Vet costs are very high these days. Thank you all for caring about this tiny dog. I also found out today that the present owner is not the first owner but did not get her until she was a year old. So it sounds like she has never been deeply loved. My home will be her forever home. My financial resources are limited but one of my fears for her is that if someone else acquires her she will just be used for breeding again and I think she will die if that happens. Thank you brothers & sisters in Christ.

Thank you friends, am on pins and needles today, tonight we go get her. God led me to her so I cannot imagine we will come home without her. The things that happened to bring this about is what causes me to think God led me to her. Too many coincidences to think otherwise. I am not driven by every little thing, but this is too strong to ignore. I spent most of the day yesterday learning things about dealing with an unwanted dog coming into a new environment. Please pray that she knows she is loved. Thank you.

Thank you.

God has blessed us greatly. I came back in to let you know we have the dog in our possession and she seems in good health. She did have puppies 8 weeks ago but will be seeing the vet tomorrow for a checkup. She is already seeking family members out for comfort and the other dogs in the house, although a bit excited are not being aggressive about her. Looks like all our prayers were answered in the affirmative. No matter how this turned out God is great but when it is something that brings joy there are no words big enough to express what I feel. God knows how much I appreciate his help and in a quiet moment I will be doing my best to express it. Right now its kind of chaotic in a good way around here. Thank you all for helping to bring God's blessing to this little dog and my family. All is well.

Thank you. She had her vet appointment and he said she is healthy, so that worry is over. The thing that led me to her is about a month ago I got a sudden urge to get another puppy. It came out of the blue. I tried to ignore it but it started to drive me crazy, like a mother feels when she knows she will never have another baby and her age will not let her have any more. I became ridiculously obsessed and started looking online for local pom puppies. I noticed the lady we bought a pom from before had some but were too expensive this year for us. So I fought it inside myself. Then suddenly the urge became so bad I thought ok I will call her up and see if she would take less for a puppy. So I did and that is when she told me she was selling off the mother of the puppy we already owned. This was a dog we had seen in pictures when we bought one of her pups and fell in love with her. Her pup is the spitting image of her. When I heard what she was planning (her reason for telling me was in hopes I would be interested in purchasing her) my heart skipped a beat. I said I would have to discuss this with my family first. So I immediately told my daughter who did not think twice about it and said yes we need to get her here where she will be loved. I was scared the lady would change her mind, or the dog would be in bad health, or she had been in a puppymill situation without us knowing that.

So we have her now and here is the amazing part. The moment we knew we wanted her and had her? The urge to get a puppy disappeared completely. Had I not had that urge we never would have known about this unwanted dog. Maybe I am crazy but I have to believe that urge was put there by God to lead me to this little dog who needs to be loved. He knew we would want her and used that urge to get me to her. She is just the sweetest thing too, giving us kisses and cuddling. She has singled out my 8 year old grandson to be the one she allows to give her food and he is thrilled by that. Over time she will become more secure, even though she seems to be ok here I think she is still a little wary. But I had to tell someone this story, how it all came about. I am very amazed at how God works. When he works through me I am even more amazed because it is hard to imagine I could be that important (that is my childhood raising making me feel that). So yes, Praise God, all of us are important to him, all his creatures and every single person. Thank you for responding it means a lot to me.

edit: I just wanted to add when I say I wanted a puppy I meant an 8-12 week old one. I like to bond with them when they are puppies, I love that baby stage. I was not looking for a 6 year old dog, but God leads us down a path that we need, not necessarily one we thought we wanted.
