๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฆ” **UPDATE ON THE 3 TURPIN DOGS AND THEIR VERY UNFORTUNATE PORCUPINE ENCOUNTER** ๐Ÿฆ”๐Ÿ•

We have gotten several calls and messages about the three dogs in Turpin, OK, and yes, we know about the quills. Apparently these three decided they needed to experience the joys of nature the HARD way. ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hereโ€™s what we are thinking right now:

From what we understand, porcupine quills can soften over the next few days, and sometimes the dogs are able to work them out on their own. We are going to give them a little time and keep a close eye on the situation. If they still have quills after a few days, we will have to look at other options for getting them help.

**What we REALLY need right now is someone willing to go over there, feed them, and start earning their trust.** โค๏ธ

While that person is working on gaining their confidence, we will be reaching out and trying to find a rescue willing to take them. These dogs didn't ask to be stray, scared, hungry, or covered in what basically amounts to nature's tiny barbed-wire fence. ๐Ÿฆ”๐Ÿ˜ฌ

And we want to address something else we've heard:

# # # PLEASE DON'T STOP FEEDING STRAY DOGS. ๐Ÿพ

We understand the concern about feeding strays, but leaving hungry dogs without food doesn't magically make the dogs disappear.

**Hungry dogs do what hungry dogs do.** They start looking for whatever food they can find. That can mean smaller animals, livestock, garbage, or anything else they can catch. Over time, hunger and survival instincts can make dogs increasingly fearful and feral.

Feeding them gives us a chance to keep them alive, keep them in one area, build trust, and hopefully get them into a safer situation.

So yes, we're hoping these ridiculous little porcupine souvenirs soften up and come out on their own. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฆ”

We will continue working on finding placement and will keep everyone updated as we know more.

And to whoever threatened to shoot them:

**We heard you. But we're already working on getting these dogs homes. Give us a chance to do that.** โค๏ธ

They need patience, food, and somebody willing to help them trust humans again. They don't need a bullet.

Let's get these three out of the stray life and into a safe place. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ โค๏ธ

Meet **Piper**, a beautiful Rottweiler who came into our lives about a year and a half ago after we found her out in a field.

Apparently, Piper decided the whole โ€œwandering the countrysideโ€ lifestyle wasn't exactly five-star living and has been waiting for her next chapter ever since. โค๏ธ

Piper is a **pretty darn nice girl**. She can be sweet, affectionate, and she seems to do well with other dogs. BUT... there is one tiny little detail we feel obligated to mention.

**Piper does NOT like men.** ๐Ÿ˜‚

And before you ask, yes... **we mean human males.** ๐Ÿ‘€

Piper isn't going around looking for trouble, but she has made her position on the subject of men VERY clear. Let's just say she's not currently accepting applications for a boyfriend, husband, brother, uncle, grandpa, or random dude named Steve. ๐Ÿคฃ

Because of this, Piper needs a **female adopter or a home where she can comfortably live without men**. Someone patient who understands that she may need time, trust, and a little reassurance will be her best match.

If you're a woman looking for a loyal Rottweiler companion who has already established some very strong opinions about the male population... **Piper would like to schedule your interview.** ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿถ
