Here we are, pictures of Lacey!

For those of you in chat, thanks for the support. I've never felt so bad for an animal before, so I appreciate the good words.

So here's the photos!

Oh bless her! She is such a pretty girl and has the sweetest face.

How is she doing? I am so glad she is home with you and will be getting the love, care, and attention she deserves. :)

Please keep the pics and updates coming.

There's not much of a story to tell AP, I was snooping through Craigslist and inquired about her. I went to pick her up yesterday and have never been so horrified in my life.
I saw at least 7 dogs in the house (minus her) a Husky outside (and it was -10F or so yesterday) and the guy said he had 3 more GSD's that I didn't see. The house smelled funky, ok, beyond funky. More of that OMG what died in here. But their house was neat and picked up, just that horrid smell...I don't know how someone can live with that because I could still smell it on Lacey and my clothes after I left and my truck still reeks of it and doggy barf.
He put her in the truck for me so I didn't notice her weight until we got home. She didn't *look* thin, but she has pretty long hair. When I got her out of the truck and picked her up, I could feel almost every bone in her body. She weighs probably 30 lbs or so because I struggle with a 40 lb bag of dog food and not with her.

I paid the rehoming fee, which maybe I shouldn't have, but at least this guy's not the breeder (I got her AKC papers and it's someone else so that's kind of a relief)

She's doing better today, last night was interesting because she had diarrhea and I had puddles all over my house, I think I killed the warranty on my steam cleaner!

Glad you've got her...

We have 7 dogs here, but our house doesn't have that funky smell, unless you've just walked by/through a dog fart! ;)

She's adorable.
How old is she, did you say?

Oops, she's 8 months old.
I have no problem with people keeping lots of dogs...but when your house smells of a sewer, it's time to re-think your cleaning process, lol!

Update:

Lacey's previous owner emailed me this morning to see how she was doing and to make sure she was getting along with everyone.

I was kind of surprised. Maybe they did care for her, but were just so overwhelmed by their other dogs that she slipped through the cracks? I mean, why else would they even care how she's doing?

So I sent pictures of her playing with Lily and told them she's doing fine.

She's an adorable pup!

Some people care about their animals, but are just truly ignorant about how to take care of a pet. I'm glad the pup has you now Acampbell, she's going to be gorgeous when she grows up!

AWWWWWWW! she's too cute! I'm glad you got her.

The owners prob do care for her alot, they're prob semi hoarders. They love every single animal they have and it breaks there heart to see them go.... they just can't take care of them all.

I didn't even think of hoarding...you're probably right. There were so many dogs there, and Lacey had obviously eaten because she barfed up dog food all over the truck...(I left the truck out in the snow and removed the frozen barf this morning, just seemed to be the logical way to clean it up!)

He did say that she was pretty submissive and let the other dogs take her food...but I haven't seen that here, she is "snarky" to Lily because Lily is a pig and wants to eat everyones food.
