Found black dog with speckled gray boots

Austin TX

Description

FOUND 2/18/22 at 6:55 p.m. on S Highway 183 just past the Onion Creek Overpass about to jump into traffic. I found this sweet girl without a collar on the side of South 183 dashing in and out of traffic around 7 tonight. I was able to get her to come over to me and get her into my car. She appears to be a young, adult female black lab/hound mix. She has blue merle/speckled socks on her front legs and some white markings on her chest. It looks like she has had puppies since she has saggy nipples. She is timid but very sweet and let’s both men and women pet her with no signs of aggression. From a first introduction with our dog she doesn’t seem to like other dogs, but she has also had a very stressful day. She is the only dog I have ever met who doesn’t like peanut butter, but she got pretty excited about cheese. She is dirty and seemed confused when we put a collar and leash on her like she didn’t know what they were, so we are thinking she is very likely a stray. We are going to get her checked for a microchip in the morning, but I wanted to see if anyone recognizes her.
