Sorry the first message was so short but I was in the middle of doing exactly what you guys had suggested. Unfortunately (but not unexpected) every no-kill shelter I called nearly laughed when I asked if they had room for her. As of now, she is still at my house. I made an appointment with a vet for tomorrow to check for a chip, find out the deal on the possible puppies/pregnancy, and for an overall checkup.
She's the sweetest dog but SO nervous. She will just stay right by my side whether we are inside or outside, which is sad because it makes me think that she had to be dumped, as I don't see her just running off. I haven't heard her growl or seen her snap even though she is as scared as she is. I even held her down to pull ticks off of her, gave her a bath, lifted her into the car, AND trimmed her nails and she never even acted aggressive. I play softball and took her to the ball fields tonight to get the word out that I have found her and possibly start looking for homes. She let everyone pet her, including kids, even though she was frozen with fear.
My next step is to call the shelters and see if anyone has reported a missing dog, call local vets, and post some ads in a couple papers. It's just a sad scenario though. The number of dead dogs I've seen on the side of the road has increased 10 fold because of all the Fourth of July festivties. I guess everyone thinks now is the best time to dump an animal? Terrible. Thank you guys so very much for the support, I hope everything goes well tomorrow at the vet. I'll keep you posted.
By the way, we've been calling her Ebie and here are some pictures.
