Dang I missed out, that would be my kind of dog. All my dogs have been down and outers. Good for you for looking after her.

Sorry to not have a good end to my story. Although she seemed to be a bit "perky" yesterday, my beagle/mix rescue did not make it. Her blood "counts" were pretty bad. This am, she was shivering in spite of heating pads and warm blankets symbolic of liver failure. It may have been infection, loss of blood, exhaustion or perhaps internal damage from puncture wounds or some combination.
The rescue which had taken over her ownership agreed to having my wife and I take her back to our farm and bury her which we did do this evening. The rescue personnel, the vets, vet tech, etc, everyone involved are pretty sad. Sweet thing that she was seemed to be fighter so all of us had high hopes.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of other pups in need so we all are moving on...

I think I have posted previously about neighbor dogs in our yard. A female PitBull and a small dog were chasing our cats around when our daughter was home and we were gone camping. She chased them off. The next night when she got home, they were here again (we were still gone), only the PitBull was snarling and not letting my daughter get out of her car (which also had my grand daughter in it). The dogs do not have collars but just as she was dealing with this snarling vicious dog, a state patrol came by. He was looking at property for sale across the road. My daughter explained what was going on and he loaded the Pitbull in his car and took it back to the owner. We expected that would be the end of it. The dogs were back in the yard Sunday night after we got home.. I started to get my gun but decided not to punish the dog for a bad owner. We used one of our collars and leashes (dog is not vicious in daytime so much) to lead her to my daughters car and put her pet carrier (large size since we have had big dogs in past). She took her to the local animal control folks and turned her in. No tags, no microchip, no license, nice fine if owner claims her. The little dog was no where to be seen, but same fate will happen to that one if it returns.
This neighbor had a puppy mill for awhile and the UPS driver that covers our area told me he would not deliver anymore to the porch, the smell was over bearing in the house (just standing in doorway to deliver package).

SSS method for the two legged critter.
You and the rescue people probably showed it more love in the last few hours than it had in it's life... meanwhile the pup's original owner will go out and do it all over again.
I had a puppy mill up the road from me for a while... two female partners raising huskies and labs. I came home one day and they had a beautiful black lab male about 6 months old... tied to a 6 foot chain. Over the course of the next several months I watched that pup change from a high spirited healthy lab to a dog with a broken spirit- it's the only time in my life that I ever considered stealing something, but I was already having problems with the owners as I had previously talked somebody out of buying one of their puppies. Instead I would drive 4 miles extra to keep from seeing him. Eventually somebody turned them in, (not me, but I didn't deny it when the suggestion came up
) and they were only allowed to keep one dog. Some time after that their house caught fire, convincing me that there is indeed God.
