I keep telling people, animals find their way to me not vice versa ;).....okay, sometimes but mostly they come to me! On my way home from work I take a dirt country road that is lined with farms. This girl was standing in the middle of the road not letting me past and when I got out to check, she jumped right in my Jeep. Wasn't going to tell this dog to get out as it was about to start storming. Stopped by a local farmer on the street I had only met once and asked if he recognized the dog. He knew all the farmers and had lived here for over 40 years, he had never seen the dog before. Gave him my number in case anyone went around asking and then brought her home. I have three dogs myself, two of which are VERY protective of me. Surprisingly the meet & greet went much better then I anticipated. In fact, all FOUR dogs are walking around peacefully and as if they are old friends! o_O
I posted on craigslist, submitted forms to the local shelters & humane societies for found dogs and now just waiting. She's a sweetheart at least and potty trained!
I am telling you people, animals seek me out! :D =D

She is gorgeous and she has to belong to someone. Cattle dogs aren't usually dumped and she knew you were going to be her savior to her peeps find her. She doesn't look like a stray either...very pretty girl. She looks like a queensland aussie mix or maybe some Border Collie, but she has the Queensland ears.

She is a lovely girl! My guess is that somebody dumped her. There she was, lost, in the middle of the road and when you stopped, she wasn't about to let you leave without her! :love for some reason, people dump their dogs in the country, thinking that a farmer needs another dog. Sadly, most get eaten by coyotes, run over, die of hunger, or get shot because they are chasing livestock. Your girl is blessed to have you in her life!

That is extremely helpful! I dont know cattle dogs well, I have Catahoula's. The shelter asked and I guessed shepard/collie mix. Thank you!!

She scarfed down some food and drank alot of water when I got her home. She ran right up to the front door too. So weird! She's cuddled up with my pups right now :)
People have dumped alot of dogs on that road, so hoping that isnt the case. She'll stay a week with me if no one Or the shelter doesnt contact me. Hoping she's microchipped! Will check tomorrow. Otherwise the farmer I spoke to just lost his pup and offered to take her if all other means were exhausted! But he agreed, we gotta try and find her family first. Couldn't imagine losing one of my babies!

She looks a lot like my BC Queensland crosses but your girl has the stand up ears of the Queensland and mine have the floppy ears of the border collie. I guess she could have shepherd in her, but something about her just looks Queensland Heeler to me.
